Merthyr Tydfil

"A great space with excellent entertainment facilities and the hot tub was a lovely bonus. on a personal note, i think the place is over styled. With the amount of trinkets throughout the house, if the children were with us I would have been nervous of items getting knocked and damaged. I would suggest toning the style and making this a more relaxed environment for a family to enjoy without the worry of breaking something precious to the owner/host."

Top Merthyr Tydfil Hotel Reviews

The Parkgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"Trash can in bathroom is minuscule. I could only fit 2 small pieces of trash in it. Need more drawers for unpacking. Giant empty closet but no drawers."

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Just returned from a 2 night stay, great place and highly recommended however there is many parts that’s dated and could do with refurbishing besides that great place"

The Manor House At Celtic Manor

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a treat to stay in and the staff bent over backwards when there was a problem. The service from staff went above and beyond any expectations. The food was amazing and off the highest quality. The only let down was if you had mobility issues there was problem getting around due to the lifts being out of order. If these had been working would have given 5 stars. As for us this caused a problem but if you were able bodied this should have not affected your stay. The spa was clean and pool was warm and nice to swim in. A trip to the grill and pad is recommended. The high ropes are not for the faint hearted but at 51 still managed to get around. We stayed in the Manor hotel rather than the resort."
