Pen-y-cae Vacations from $1,692

The place had a lot of potential, it just felt neglected and unloved. They had gone to a lot of effort to supply breakfast items in the shared kitchen and it was obviously visited each day by a host as it was tidied and rubbish cleared but some cupboards had random packets and crumbs,the salt and pepper pots were dirty and sticky. It just needs a bit deeper clean and there was piles of rubbish just outside the kitchen. The room was also a bit tired. Beds were comfy and there was tea, coffee, kettle and fridge but the wardrobe door was blocked from opening by a wonky cupboard door and the inside was really dusty. Good shower and plenty of hot water. The outside is awful -we felt intimidated turning up on the first evening. The front door and windows were filthy and had old faded paper signs with check-in instructions...this could so easily be cleaned up and made inviting. Overall it was ok but with a little attention to detail could be so much better.

Room was overpriced for a concert, £400 per night when £220 normally. I’d expect an uplift but not this much. Room was worn, fan and windows dusty and unclean. Other room had no hot water in shower so unable to use. Noisy and limited sleep although bed comfortable No bar as closed. WiFi non existent and no 5G signal so if you want a quiet night and no shower then ideal place. Breakfast mediocre
