Top Brecon Hotel Reviews
Llechwen Hall Hotel
"Lots of weddings so can hear the disco till late at night . Might be good to move non wedding guests to quieter rooms . Breakfast needs improvement. But overall . Nice staff , clean hotel . Good value ."
Mercure Swansea Hotel
"Lovely staff, sits in a quiet area of the city so very little outside noise, it's not far away from the M4 so it makes an ideal base camp if you're exploring areas outside of Swansea."
Nant Ddu Lodge Hotel & Spa by Belvilla
"Our suite room was large and clean albeit pretty basic. That said, the food at dinner was very good and the breakfast too, with friendly serving staff. The pool, jacuzzi, sauna and changing rooms etc need a modern refresh, but the hotel is very reasonably priced and only a few minutes drive from the start of the Pen Y Fan walking trail so all in all a decent choice."
Heritage Park Pontypridd, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
"Only there for two nights+ very satisfactory"
The Castle of Brecon Hotel
"What a beautiful hotel! The decor throughout the hotel has been tastefully designed. Our twin room was spacious with great views of Pen y Fan and a good size walk in shower. The hotel is in a superb location with free parking and easy walking to the historic town of Brecon. The restaurant is exquisite with a lovely atmosphere and very comfortable as are all the social rooms. We had a very enjoyable meal followed by a relaxing drink in the bar. Breakfast was delicious which rounded off our excellent stay in Brecon."
