View from my room was a wheelie bin, rubbish bags and a feral cat living in a tomato case. Weather was hot so we kept the windows open, which was not pleasant when the room filled with cigarette smoke from a staff member smoking below. Not what you would expect when you pay neay 200.

Lovely hotel - slightly dated decor but spotlessly clean and all lovely staff. Lift out of action but we only had overnight bags. Breakfast and dinner last night - great! Well worth going just for food!

Great location. Imacculate surroundings. Slighlty dated decor to give that character feel but still very modern room. Very close to River Usk only across the street. Walking distance to town and a short drive away to Brecon for a day trip. I would recommend this hotel if visiting South Wales.
