"Lovely place to stay but I'd say the roomed are not 4* Great facilities and happy, kind and courteous staff Breakfast was very good Room decor was very tired and not what I'd expect for a 4 star hotel, the wallpaper has been patched over a damp area with a differing paper and the damp patches were showing back through "

"Clean room"

"The hotel is quiet with extensive areas for guests. The Leisure suite is excellent with sauna, steam room and a spacious, well equipped gym. Breakfast has lots of choice although the options have definitely been reduced since we were last there 6-8 years ago. Parking is plentiful and the views across the valley are beautiful. The hotel is a substantial building and in places it's becoming a bit tired. However, we slept extremely well without any noise or disturbance. The limited staff are extremely hard working and deserve praise for multi-tasking. It's an easy walk into town"

"Interesting building and interior. Gardens were not as complimentary to the structure as similar hotels I Wales."

"Hay-on-wye is a special place and the Swan Hotel is a great place to stay, especially if you have a dog. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back."

"Stayed here a few times, for a budget hotel,they go out of the way to look after guests, As a biker,got a lock up garage, so you know your motorcycle is safe."

"Really nice stay. The only downside was the 7 minute walk to the nearest car park. Not a big thing I know but further than I anticipated"

"Very friendly cosy pub with a great atmosphere and a hot fire Had the steak dinner which was 10/10 "

"Extremely pleasant and accommodating staff. Room was clean and warm as was the en-suite. Bed was very comfortable. Plenty of various tea and coffee sachets available in addition to milks and sweeteners etc. Breakfast was freshly cooked to liking. Although I had no problem parking, the car park is small with limited street parking opposite, which potentially could be an issue during busy periods. Overall, staying at The Talbot was an excellent experience. "
