Clean comfortable room. Nice large shower and comfy bed. It's not a hotel but rooms and have to get code to open key safe.
Parking just around the corner.
beautiful hotel in the centre of Porthcawl, self check in was easy room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, first stay here and wont be the last cant wait to stay here again soon.
it was easy to find. nice , clean hotel. lovely location not to far to the pubs shops. would definitely stay here again . only thing i would book on the ground floor as its to many stairs for me abd my sister .
This hotel is very well placed to be within easy walking distance of the sea front and all the night life.
The car park is right behind the hotel and even though it is a pay and dispay car park, the convenience of its location is well worth the six pounds for a full day charge. Overnight parking is free after 6.00p.m.
The property was very easy to find and parking wasn't a problem as there is free street parking or a car park behind the property at a reasonable price. Our room was very clean and tidy with good facilities. Didn't meet our host but was always available via phone if needed and got in touch to ask if we needed anything such as extra towels etc. Easy access to the beach and shops.
both nice and clean. Any questions were answered quickly and professionally.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I was impressed how slick the check in process was despite having no staff on site. I submitted a question about an issue with check in and got a response and resolution within 10 mins. Nice room, clean, well equipped. The only downfall was creaky floorboards so take ear plugs.
The building and room itself was lovely and clean however the area was very noisy. People were screaming and shouting in rhe street until 2.30am on a sunday night monday morning! Think it was coming from the hotel opposite who had some dodgy characters outside when we got back to the room!
Serviced rooms with no reception on site. The room itself was fine, comfy bed, very clean. Access by code at the front door, then a lock box with your room key by the door. Everything about the room was just fine.
The problem was the cackling drunk next door neighbours. Not in the hotel, but in the room in the building next to mine. I went to bed at 9 as had to be up early next morning for a big bike ride. I was woken up at 12 by raucous drunk laughter, two women clearly hammered and who clearly didn’t care a) who knew it or b) whether people nearby were trying to sleep. This went on, no lie, until 5 am. Just as I had given up and starting loading the car for my ride, I noticed it had gone quiet next door. Thought about making a racket, but unlike certain others, I wasn’t selfish enough to affect the other people around me.
-Presentable property
-comfortable bed
-spacious
-good shower
-tons of towels provided
-easy quick access to the beach and nearby restaurants.
- tv had netflix
- towel heater in bathroom
-easy check in
-ample storage space
-good kettle
A few niggles:
-i think the listing could be improved to include valuable info such as - parking is on street and not always guaranteed plus the tv has netflix (had i known this i wouldnt have bought my laptop along with me)
-there arent any hooks anywhere - not much of an issue in the bedroom as you can hang in the cupboards, but necessary in the bathroom. We had towel rail full of beachwear so you need somewhere to hang your towel and a change of clothes when in the shower.
-green lights (i assume for health and safety reasons) might be good to have this pictured so people who require black out to sleep can bring an eye mask
-sofa bed very uncomfortable - when i lay on there (i am an average sized adult) the springs were digging into my back, luckily for us, only my 3 year old slept there so he was unaffected.
-although toiletries are pictured, shower gel not provided
- tea and coffee facilities: biscuits were stale and unedible and spoons needed a good clean
-it wouldve been useful to provide an additional cotton sheet for each bed - duvet is comfortable but borderline too hot in the summer months
On the whole a very positive experience, however there are a few pointers for improvement.
Thanks
Lovely clean hotel,we stayed in family room,could smell the freshness off the bedding..bed was so comfy..car park behind hotel.would definately stay again.close to town.friendly staff
