Guest Reviews

• Robert (5/5): - The evening meal was first class and the staff very good. To get to your room you had to go from the bar up stairs and basically walk across the flat roof to the opposite side to get into where your room is. If you were out after 9.30 pm the front door to the bar was locked and entry was via the car park at the rear.I require a walking stick and facilities not very good for the disabled
• FrauZephyr (8/5): - Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und nett, wir konnten unsere Motorräder auf dem Hotel Parkplatz abstellen. Das Zimmer war gemütlich eingerichtet, das Badezimmer sehr modern, Wasserkocher mit Kaffee und Tee vorhanden, abends haben wir lecker im Restaurant gegessen. Richtig nett waren die Ohrstöpsel, die für alle mit auf den Zimmern ausgelegt waren, obwohl der Straßenlärm nicht schlimm war. Alle vier Betten waren sehr wackelig, das eine der beiden Zimmer hatte leider nur eine Dachluke und kein Fenster.
• Thomas (9/5): - Lovely clean rooms, excellent wet room. Good location for a family event. Mattresses were too soft for us.
• Noriean (10/5): Rooms very modern , spotlessly clean and comfortable - Lovely accommodation and lovely pub too Absolutely nothing
• Siobhan (9/5): - Location, food and atmosphere Just at night time, you could hear the noise from the nightclub, even tho you got earplugs, but wasnt that much of a problem
• janice (7/5): Good value for money but would not suit m y people because of the noise - Good value. Near my family Extreme noise from entertainment below. Difficult access with luggage
• Gordon (9/5): Spotlessly clean, spacious room - great value, also offering great evening food in the restaurant! - Superb staff, very welcoming and accommodating! The room was quite spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean, with a fine ensuite too. The bedrooms are a relatively recent addition, and so are bang up-to-date and well equipped. A separate external entrance to the bedrooms is available, so it's not necessary to access via the pub/restaurant below. Speaking of which, we had excellent evening meals in the restaurant, really good food and very reasonable price too - definitely worth checking out. Breakfast is not included, so we ate out in the mornings. Bargoed is a quiet enough spot - we stayed there simply to break the journey to the ferry at Pembroke, as we were travelling from south Cornwall. This was a great find (it seems to be the social hub of the village!), has good rooms, great evening meals and offers great value too - well recommended. The place was really good! There may be some spillover of music sounds from the pub below at weekends, but this typically finished up around 11. We weren't unduly disturbed by it.
• Linda (9/5): Family visit - Warm and friendly welcome from staff, comfortable room and excellent meal in restaurant.
• Heiko (7/5): Schöne Unterkunft für einen kurzen Aufenthalt - Freundliches Personal In der ersten Nacht war live Musik. Leider hat es sich angehört als würde die Band in unserem Zimmer spielen.

• Lucy (9/5): Great stay would recomend. - Nice rooms, clean and comfortable, nuce touch with the welsh cakes and shower gel was handy as forgot mine. Restaurant lovely inside, food fantastic had the steak pie so good. No hairdryer in room would have been handy to have, and maybe offer coffee sachets as well as tea. Also light in bathroom is sensor but went off twice while showering so bit annoying.

• Natalie (10/5): -
• Dave (5/5): - Very nice modern clean room No parking no internet no tv no heating in room 3
• Laura (9/5): Great stay - Loved the homely feel and how clean it was. The staff in the bar were really helpful and welcoming, and it was a lovely place to sit if I didn't feel like sitting in the room. The menu looked good although I didn't get to eat there. I liked how you could cut through the bar to the high street without having to walk all the way around and how close it was to where I needed to be. The mattress definitely could do with replacing there were twin beds and both needed new ones. Also a little fridge in the room would have been amazing.
• Roman (10/5): -
• John (4/5): Bad - Near to where I wanted to go Noisy from a band in the bar and a disco in a club outside. Hotel provided ear plugs, but it was bad. No toilet paper in the room, which I only discovered the next morning. No bedside lamp, so had to turn off at main switch. People arguing in corridor late at night and early morning. Finally No breakfast provided
• Diane (9/5): Very enjoyable & would certainly return ,Thank you - The staff were excellent nothing to much trouble ,showed us to our room ,as I had changed my iPad & missed the check in details ,& excellent service in restaurant . No breakfast ,maybe a continental option could be available 🤔 No hairdryer ,small one that goes in the drawer in wardrobe would be handy .
• Tina (10/5): -
• Anna (9/5): I would stay again without a doubt - Clean and nice bathroom Noisy at times
• James (5/5): -
• anna (9/5): - The bathroom light being on a sensor creates a problem when travelling with disabled and no heating in the bathroom.
• Sharon (10/5): -
• Shauna (10/5): -
• Phil (10/5): Excellent can't fault it really - Bathroom was very nice room was spotless Found the bed uncomfortable, couldn't tune in the TV and the heating is air con type so drys out the air in the room
• Gemma (10/5): - Great place to stay Nothing
• Clark (10/5): - we liked the location of the hotel, cleanliness and the service from the staff. The only problem we had at the hotel was the number of stairs. Entry from the street was a climb of approximately fifty steps from the bar to our room. When leaving the hotel to the rear car park again quite a number of steps. Both my husband and I are 80 years of ageand we struggled to climb them.
• Melanie (10/5): - Clean & friendly N/A
• Debra (10/5): - Our stay far excelled our expectations, friendly clean and welcoming will certainly return. Nothing
• brett (10/5): - Excellent room, facilities great staff amazing. Got my vote 100% Nothing
• GÜNGÖR (8/5): -
• Sean (10/5): -
• Carol (10/5): Great accommodation. Staff lovely - Staff welcoming, very helpful. Rooms very clean, modern. Great! N/A
• Julie (8/5): Overall met our needs for the weekend - Breakfast not applicable Room as expected reasonable size and clean Other Noisy guests who smoked in non smoking areas. Appreciate this not down to owners. One bed very wobbly with poor mattress
• Shan (6/5): Ok for one nights stay - Neat and tidy and clean Mattress and pillows needed renewing.
• ANDREW (9/5): An excellent place to stay - shame couldn’t book for 2 days. - Clean; great Wi-Fi, comfortable bed; great tv; coffee making facilities; great powerful shower; soft towels. None.They should build more rooms if can.
• Lewis (10/5): -
• Scott (4/5): Very nice place. Think someone needs to check the cleaner though. - Lovely modern looking pub The beds were made up and dirty! Staining on the sheets and blood.
• Rakshith (10/5): Fantastic place to stay and 100% value for money. Surely coming back to stay here again. - Outstanding property! Very clean and organised, well furnished. Easily accessible. Check in and checkout process was very quick and efficient.
• Carrie-Anne (10/5): - The room was decorated to a high spec. It had everything we needed. The location was great and the staff and food at Murrays were fantastic. Nothing.
• Marcus (7/5): Extremely good value for money - Superb room Very comfortable bed, large shower room Bathroom was super I read that it had a restaurant, so I assumed that breakfast was served served in the morning - my fault I didn’t check that it doesn’t do breakfast. I wouldn’t have used the rooms if I would’ve known. Location in middle of the town meant it was very noisy at night I was in room number two, which had a light above the door which didn’t turn off. This meant it was a light on all night which disturbed my sleep.
• Sarah (9/5): Gerne wieder - Der Pub hatte eine angenehme Ausstrahlung. Abends gab es live-Musik, die aber nicht so laut war, dass sie beim Schlafen gestört hat. Der Parkplatz war gut gelegen, so dass wir schnell ein- und ausladen konnten. Die Betten waren angenehm und das Zimmer war sauber und modern und verfügte über alles, was man brauchte. Falls ich nochmal in der Gegend sein sollte, ist Murrays auf jeden Fall mein Anlaufziel Die Tauben vor dem Fenster ;-), das wir nur eine Nacht geblieben sind.
• Megan (10/5): -
• Connor (9/5): -
• Jillianne (10/5): Good central location, excellent food, professional staff. - Excellent location really central. Really clean and well kept. Food in restaurant was superb, staff very attentive and professional especially Cameron who booked taxi’s for us.
• Lara (8/5): -
• Jackie (10/5): -
• Tom (8/5): Comfortable, convenient overnight stay - Clean, good value for money, good basic comfort Noise from pub downstairs
• Derek (10/5): -
• Janey D (8/5): Unexpected gem. - The rooms are accessed from the rear of the building and there is no need to enter the main bar/restaurant area. This allowed me complete privacy during my stay. The shower room was exceptional. I particularly liked the fact that the shower had a rainfall part and a separate adjustable shower head. The whole room looked newly painted and it was pleasant. The pillows were a little lumpy and I’d expected new ones purely because the room was well decorated and looked new. It took me a couple of attempts to understand how the TV worked- it’s a streaming service but it was fine once I’d sussed it out. More my issue than theirs. There was some noise from the bar but nothing that stopped me from sleeping. There were earplugs provided but I didn’t use them.
• Derek (10/5): Brilliant !! - Excellent value for the money Well appointed , spacious comfortable Fantastic comfy bed
• McCartney (9/5): - The room was very nice and the staff were friendly The only thing that let it down was the toilet paper
• Sarah (8/5): -
• Neil (10/5): - Excellent room, great value for money and lovely food in the pub with very friendly staff. Nothing not to like. Nothing rooms are excellent value with great facilities.
• Nileka (10/5): One of the best place I have ever stayed ❤️ - Amazing and easy to access. Super clean and really good room.
• Carwyn (8/5): - Nice and clean and modern Couldn't get the telephone work no channel
• Pro (10/5): -
• Graham (2/5): Didn't even stay! - Terrible access at the rear of what seems a back alley to all businesses. No parking facilities. No designated blue badge. Could not access what seemed like a steel security gate. An abundance of steps and walk ways to navigate the only visible entrance. Loos like a converted night club from 1st impressions. Cannot comment on the inside of the rooms as it was proving not pleasing to the eye, unable to find parking and as a mature travelling I would not recommend. Very unpleasant experience just trying to park in a back alley where cars and car parts lay everywhere.
• Dorward (8/5): - Room were nice and clean and freshly done. Beds comfortable, shower amazing!. Staff were friendly and helpful. Beer garden was wonderful would be great in the summer ☀️ The only downfall was that the website says that they had a breakfast menu, which they don't. That being one off the reasons we booked there as it looked good. Saying the the food we had in the evening was very good 😀.
• Michael (9/5): -
• beverley (7/5): Lovely fresh rooms, but not for the noise of light sensitive. - Lovely clean fresh rooms. Staff were helpful on arrival. It was extremely noisy, they provide you with earplugs which is probably the give away, but the noise from the bar wasn’t a problem to us but the people staying there were. We looked forward to a nice breakfast the next day but it was raining heavily and the door into the main building was locked so we went home which was disappointing. The light and fan in the bathroom go on by sensor so if you use the loo in the night it wakes up your partner. The blind on the window keeps no light out. The rooms are very nice and potentially could be perfect.

• luke (10/5): -
• Transcend Packaging (10/5): -
• Julian (7/5): Good basic stay for a night or two - - Easy access - Good Checkout time - Good value for money - Shower was good, beds okay - There was a light at the street which was directly shining into the room, even with the blends closed - one of the beds seemed a bit loose - The town is awful
• Chippy (10/5): -
• KAS2014 (10/5): - Very clean. Comfortable beds. Perfect stay. No faults.
• Dia (6/5): - Beautiful room nicely decorated and very clean Couldn't see the sign in rear car park. Needs lights. Beds were wobbly
• Krystal (8/5): - Nice size room and lovely bathroom, pub is a lovely place aswell Parking terrible, earring left upside on floor in bedroom and stood on it
• Pickard (10/5): - The staff were very helpful with everything you needed especially the cleaner very helpful 👍
• James (10/5): -
• Esther (10/5): Well worth a visit - Easy to find, friendly staff, modern room with comfy bed, air con, complimentary water and coffee/tea etc. fabulous idea to leave ear plugs, being above the pub I did hope it wasn’t going to be loud but ear plugs supplied is genius! Overall a very pleasant stay in a lovely pub.
• Joanne (7/5): -
• sophie (10/5): -
• SYEDMUHAMMAD AI (10/5): -
• Avril (10/5): - Staff were lovely a really lovely atmosphere, plenty of space, Large beer garden, room was so comfortable 😁
• James (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - Modern room with air conditioning and smart tv . Food was excellent and the staff was very professional
• Dianne (8/5): Lovely room ok for lively people who drink Would be better if did food for longer as stops at 8 and struggled to find - Room was lovely and very clean had tea and coffee etc nice bathroom Too noisy music playing till late and people out side shouting it’s across from a car park and snooker place where can get noisy
• Kerry (7/5): Lovely room, good location, the noise was not for me. I was looking forward to a relaxing time - it was far from it, alt - The room was lovely, beautifully clean and very grateful for the air conditioning. If I had known the room was above the bar/nightclub and I’d hear the songs, the DJ and the thumping bass for hours I wouldn’t have booked here. I also didn’t like the full fat uht milk 🥴
• Candy (7/5): nice comfortable rooms but a bit noisy, bar is nice for a drink, didn't try the restaurant - lovely modern bedroom, great shower, in room drinks provided (coffee, teas, hot chocolate, water, kettle). The television in an awkward position but access to streaming apps is nice. the back gate keypad entrance was found open twice; was surprised by the noise as there was no mention (that I can recall) in the description that it would be noisy due to events taking place directly below the rooms, however ear plugs were provided but we didn't need them; we made dinner reservations for our first night but were placed in low armchairs and a coffee table which was not only uncomfortable, not appropriate, the only seating like it in the dining area, but also right next to a group of dead wasps (one or two were actually still alive but dying. When I approached the young waiter and informed him we could not sit there for the above reasons, his response was "its the only seats we have available" and "oh we killed them earlier", both of which are unacceptable answers. To his credit, he finally said he could seat us at a table near the bar but at this point we were just put off and decided to find elsewhere to eat. Thank goodness for Subway!
• Andrew (6/5): Pleasant - Loud music and talking outside room
• Chris (10/5): Great experience and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area train to Cardiff a breeze and cheap - Great location close to train station and bus station lovely surroundings reasonable prices very clean staff very friendly nothing was a problem Maybe a hair dryer and toilet brush would be handy
• Woodworth (9/5): Perfect stopover for a work trip - Very clean. Clear instructions from the property regarding accessing the rooms. Good shower. The pub downstairs serves great food too. Could hear other people outside the door accessing their rooms.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Asif (10/5): Very helpful staff. Good value for money - Very clean, free parking
• Catrin (5/5): Great place and location very poor staff - Location, layout, style and comfort STAFF, abrupt, no people skills, rude and made you feel as if they were doing you a favour. They rushed around cleaning and doing stuff when they saw the boss arrive. They were clearing our table and spraying tables down while we and other guests were still sat at the table. When the cutlery was brought to the tables it was dumped and a comment of “here you are” was made.They made us feel uncomfortable and wanting to leave sooner than we anticipated. We asked for a wine list which the staff member just looked at us as though we were stupid! And said “ no we haven’t” We have kids their age and our kids are in hospitality and would never have said anything like that!! It took an hour for starters!! They failed to listen to customers requests as my steak was not cooked as requested but I did not ask for another one as it took 90 minutes for me to have my main in the first instance. Young staff are great to have as they are given the opportunity to learn new skills and start their working life but they also need the right training and education. Please accept this feedback as a positive for future learning. Diolch
