Hirwaun Hotels

"Stayed a few times over the years. They have done it up brilliantly! My only gripe was the breakfast experience. I came at the time I had given but felt I was an inconvenience as the staff told me I only had so long, not to sit a certain tables. I was the only customer, they were packing away and were occupied with their next 'event'. Food for thought? Best wishes. "

"Beautiful boutique hotel. Hard to know where to start, property itself is stunning, decor in all areas is excellent. On arrival reception staff were very welcoming and informative. Rooms are large and very comfortable. Bar is good, prices reasonable and excellent choice. Spa is well appointed. Fantastic evening meal in Blok restaurant, food superb, staff attentive, informative and friendly. Breakfast also very good, again staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. Overall, an outstanding place for a couple to take a relaxing break"

"- The guy that checked us in really didnt want to be at work that day. Was completely uninterested - Booked the room for 3 but couch wasn't set up - Couch bed mattress was horrendous. Shower head barely worked - Cleaning process doesnt follow industry standard and its not communicated to guests. Just put a poster in the room instead of a tiny one at reception. - blown a fuse at night, and stuf wasnt able to access fuse box. We had to move rooms which was quite annoying and time consuming "

"Noisy - Drill/construction noises began at 7am from floor above which we were not warned about. Dated room. Strand of hair in the sink. Otherwise, friendly staff and nice location. Convenient carpark nearby and right outside train station. "

"Enjoyed 1 night at The Bear Hotel and found it to be extremely welcoming and comfortable. Greeted with a warm smile and a friendly face. Happy to change our room without any fuss or incovenience. Had a good quality meal in the restaurant. Food was tasty and the staff here also happy and efficient. We loved the location and would definitely stay again if in the area. Thank you."

"Tired and dated hotel. Biggest concern was our room had a door linked to the next room which was not safe. The lock on our side did not engage properly and could have been pushed open with very little force from the room next door. In the middle of the night about 2am I was wakened by the person in the adjoining room opening their door and I thought they were trying to get into our room. As a result I did not sleep well. I reported this at reception before we left so I hope the matter is resolved."

"Very noisy private function made it impossible to sleep - had to change rooms at midnight. Horrible experience - would never return. Was promised a refund and will be pursuing this. "

"Loved the priveleged room and getting a later checkout which was really helpful, staff rally friendly, loved the bar area"

"The general cleanliness and condition of this hotel was poor. The floor of the room was sloping and was quite dissorientating when walking into the bathroom. In the bathroom, the shower curtain was stained and looked unclean. The wastebin looked very poor with a rusted lid. Bathroom floor not very clean and the grouting was missing from the corners of the bath. The paint was peeling of the inside of the windowsill. In the room, the kettle was grubby and had to be washed before use, the glasses also had greasy prints on them and also had to be washed before use. The headboard was marked (small tears). The towels and bed linen were clean and we had a comfortable nights sleep. Certainly not worth the money we paid, and as it is, we cannot recommend staying here. On a plus, the staff were very polite and accommodating. "
