The hotel's rooms had some maintenance issues like peeling wallpaper, paint peeling off pipework, and a bad smell outside. However, the location near Carmarthen Castle is convenient for exploring the town. The dining options varied from excellent to a bit greasy. The service was personalized with efforts to meet guest preferences.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms had everything needed for an overnight stay but were unfortunately located above the recycling bins, leading to a noisy awakening from the early morning glass clanging. The service was a bit of a hit and miss with a lengthy wait for a simple coffee, yet Rhian's exceptional friendliness and helpfulness shone through. The location was convenient for exploring the town and nearby attractions but suffered from early morning noise disturbances. The dining experience was generally satisfactory, although slightly overpriced. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
