Premier Inn in Dowlais from NZ$112

"Mattresses and spare beds throughout the corridors. Dirty corridors rundown decor. You can see the staff are trying well the reception staff, but you can also feel the pain as they must constantly feel they have to apologise for the state of the place. Rundown, tired, dirty and needs investment. The sheets and towels are old and worn!! I will not be returning."

"I was there for business trip. The rooms are nice and quiet and the view of from the hotel was quite nice. As it is off the main road from Newport and Cardiff it was easy enough to get to without bother."

"Staff were absolutely fab"

"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Fresh towels provided and tea and instant coffee.Shower was in a cubicle in the room itself,so you step out of shower into bedroom, its a very basic ,budget set up.Toilet is separate door. No sitting area only a plastic stool. I was on top floor right next to lift,a little noisy in corridor ,comings and goings and the lift pinging. The room was very warm but as its right on m4 you cannot have windows open as its so very noisy.Heating and cooling is centrally operated so you aren't in control. Truthfully the room was a little run down.Cigarette burns on windowsill, chipped paint and not all lighting was working(complicated switches). Breakfast was cold continental style ,ham cheese croissants ,cereals etc.Was ok. Coffee was nice. Staff all very friendly and helpful, lady on reception said I should have requested a fan.Ill know in future . There was plenty of parking but I had to park quite a distance from door so im glad I didn't have alot of bags. All in all a basic budget hotel in a very noisy motorway.Ok in an emergency but I wouldn't like to stay longer than 1 night."

"Great service, great hotel and excellent food "

"Overall this is a resort mainly focused on golf and leisure trips. The facilities are excellent (gym and golf courses) and the service was very good throughout and location is lovely in the countryside conveniently located near the M4. My only criticism is that the buildings themselves are a bit sterile and the bar and restaurant tend to be catering the golf groups etc but overall the hotel is definitely of a good standard and has excellent facilities"

"Been staying for weeks lovely people brilliant breakfast "

"Seems new owners have taken over since we last stayed. Some good changes, some bad. Room we stayed in seemed to have a make over which was good, breakfast disappointed with free toast and cereal but cooked breakfast now charged. The red haired girl that ran the restaurant seems to have gone and she was a real plus at this b and b. But all the best with the venture to the new owners."

"The front end staff were so helpful and friendly, waiting and bar staff were great . The room was spotless and was lovely . There was a great selection for breakfast and accommodated for celiac ."
