Hotels in der Nähe von Blaenau Gwent Baptist Church, Abertillery

Well, where do I start! On arrival there were no parking spaces, other than leaving the car in a nearby dodgy looking public car park. The room was small, no wardrobe or drawers, no hooks for coats, not enough shelving to make it worth unpacking. Not enough space to put luggage so that it wasn't in our way on the floor. Mattress was well worn with bobbles we could feel through the sheets. We had a clean and spacious shower room but no shelving or anywhere to place a toothbrush, or anything else, in the shower room. No hairdryer or shaving point in the room which are usually fairly standard. Breakfast; we waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our order to be processed. when the breakfast finally arrived, the sausage wasn't even lukewarm, it was cold. We have never stayed anywhere where the toast is delivered to our table in whole slices, already buttered, and piled on a tea plate! There wasn't any jam/marmalade or honey to put on the toast. There was rarely anyone on reception to deal with queries, it seemed the skeleton staff were multi-tasking in all areas of the hotel. The staff were working hard in difficult circumstances. The overall impression of the hotel is they are struggling to survive and cost-cutting measures are in place, to the detriment of the guests. Thankfully, we were only there 2 nights. Unfortunately, we will not be returning or recommending this establishment to anyone.

Sehr sauber und anständiges Hotel. Zimmer sind etwas klein, aber sie sind super sauber, gemütlich. Rooks hat einen Tisch und einen Stuhl zu arbeiten mit und schöne komfortable Bett. Free parking. Es gibt eine McDonald’s und KFC neben der Tür. Auch U-Bahnen, wenn Sie mögen.

This was our fourth or fifth stay at Bryn Meadows over the course of 8/9 years and it's always more special at Christmas. I have always found it reminiscent of the hotel where Johnny and Baby had the time of their lives 😂 so I find the slightly dated exterior charming. So to address the point of many reviews... Yes, the rooms are dated... We have had all types during our visits and having a suite does make all the difference... The dark furniture is to miserable for the small rooms but fine in the larger. Yes, in some places the cracks of time are visable such as a cracked tile here and there but nothing I found to be so severe it would put me off visiting. Our bedroom was spotless The beds continue to be amazing! The complaints I do have that stops me giving this 5 star again is the bathrooms... There was a strong smell coming from the tub... It wasn't an offensive smell but it did smell of strong soap and it put me off along with the yellow stains on the wall. They are very miserable. Again the spa was lovely... But I don't know why they have created lanes when it's just for the casual spa days. We had dressing gowns but no slippers and when my husband rang to enquire we were told they didn't supply them anymore due to health and safety... Wish we had been told before as walking back to room wasn't fun! Then we seen a bunch of people with the slippers on.b I do think they need to slightly up their spa game if they want to keep their reputation as they haven't grown along with competing spas and charge the same. We only used the restaurant for breakfast this time which is standard but enjoyable... I've always enjoyed the evening meals we've had... But this time we discovered a local pub called Bistro 8 and it's well worth the ten minute drive... £7 taxi fare... Not the cheapest pub but special. The views here are incredible no matter the season. This hotel despite its flaws simply has my heart... Worth a visit 😀
