Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in the bustling center of Neath, offering a convenient location close to town center and the railway station. The rooms are spacious, but unfortunately, some show signs of wear and tear, with carpet stains from radiator leaks being a downside. The service was friendly, with the hotel manager going the extra mile to address any concerns. The dining experience included locally sourced ingredients and was satisfactory. However, the hotel faces noise disturbances being directly opposite a very loud and busy pub.
