Top Hotels Near Zip World Tower in Aberdare from NZ$128

"With so many negative reviews regarding the size of the room, we paid extra for their bigger room. On arrival we received a friendly welcome and were shown to our room. The entrance to the rooms was having a mould problem, so an extractor had been installed and reed diffuser to mask the smell. The room itself was comfortable, clean, no damp smells which I feared on entry to the block. As expected from previous reviews the bathroom was tiny but that wasn’t a problem… we were here for the location. We had cocktails and a meal, food was good, albeit breakfast a little expensive but set us up for the four falls walk. Got back to the room exhausted, jumped in the shower, hopeless...a trickle of water, the unit itself dripping, got it to the temp, next minute it’s cold, adjusted it, got it back to temperature, next minute it’s scorching. Can hand on heart say I’ve never been in a more useless shower and defo not what you want and need when you’re tired and achy. Bed time… bed seemed comfy enough, but it soon became apparent, not all was well. Any slight movement, squeak, squeak. It all became too much and we moved the mattress on to the floor. The lady who was cleaning the rooms next morning had a look at the bed and tried to fix it and tightened the metal frame… fixed…alas not…another night on the floor. When booking a room to stay, all I ask for is a decent bed and shower…this accommodation fell way short and despite its perfect location. I would not recommend it as a base."

"Reception staff sullen; restaurant staff overrun, service slow. Food quality poor. Hotel looks good but otherwise nothing special. Shower awful - hot then cold, lost pressure during my shower. Grounds have some interesting photo opportunities for weddings but disjointed and tacky for any other time."

"Brilliant stay & beautiful setting."

"Cleanliness of the property and facilities good. Description on sleeps upto to 4 and sofa bed inside Sky Pod 1 is incorrect. The sofa is a standard sofa and only contains a double bed. When questioned with host via email I was offered a mattress for hire. When I pointed out the accommodation is advertised as standard sleeps upto 4 and the accommodation is stated sky pod 1 with a sofa bed, I received no response. Also had issues with set up of the TV. Could not connect the TV to WI Fi for use of apps, no TV channel tuned and unable to tune. Received a text next day whilst out, for maintenance team to look at the TV, which was eventually connected but due to poor signal we still could not connect to any apps. Nothing was mentioned more on the sofa bed situation, although on packing up on our 3rd day my friend and I took no claim to a grey bag in the living area (she thought it belonged to me and vice versa) it was an air bed which had been left in the pod when the TV was looked at, but as there was no mention via email or text that this would be left we had no knowledge of it. Overall location good for what we wanted to do, the 4 trails waterfall walk, the accommodation was clean with good basic facilities. Pod itself very warm, bathroom facilities good / decent shower. Communal washing up and microwave area. With in walking distance of a very good pub The Angel which does hot food, and opposite Sgwd Gwladys. Ideal for a short stay, as has basic facilites. "

"Clean pod!!"

"We had a fantastic stay. The cottage is lovely and clean, very comfortable beds, perfect enclosed garden for dogs and in a great location. Would highly recommend!"
