Cardiff Traeth yr Afon Hotels

"Wonderful stay "

"We have stayed at the this hotel a number of times and enjoyed our stay and the food room quality. However, this time was disappointing. On entering the room we were immediately hit with a smell of sewage, the bathroom door was closed which is odd as hotels leave them open. On opening the door the smell of sewage was shocking. There was a portable oil heater in the room which we found out later that night was because the room was ice cold at night. The curtains were hanging off the runner and didn’t close properly. The toilet didn’t flush and this probably was the reason for the stench of human poo In the room. Very disappointed with the standard and quality of the room. We love the hotel but for. £100 a night we won’t be looking to go there again "

" Clean room"

"From the outset the reception was chaotic with lots of noisey people. I had to queue for self check-in. I queried why there was a £5 car parking charge when this hadn't been pointed out prior to my booking. I asked why this was and he said because I booked with Expedia. So be careful. The hotel was tired and not worth the money."

"Was easy to get to from Cardiff, initial train ride and then a bus which stopped right outside the hotel. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Will stay again."

"Great friendly staff, very helpful. The rooms and bathroom are a good size. Excellent- would recommend. "

"Our stay at the Best Western Aberavon Beach was a deeply disappointing experience. What was meant to be a relaxing break was marred by verbal abuse, noise, and a complete lack of professional conduct. The most serious incident involved a 17-year-old guest shouting vile verbal abuse (“suck my dick”) at us from his window. We reported this to reception immediately, but the guest’s loud music continued throughout the night, and we never received an outcome. Alarmingly, the staff disclosed that the guest was “there on his own”—a significant breach of guest privacy and GDPR. Noise was a persistent issue; on both Friday and Saturday mornings, young children were permitted to run and shout in the corridors right outside our room without any management intervention. While reception offered a bottle of wine as a "gesture of goodwill," the experience was further soured at the bar. A male staff member was incredibly rude to my partner, making a sarcastic and unprovoked remark that she had “obviously drank wine through a straw” before. This, combined with our room keys failing and needing to be reprogrammed multiple times, made for a stressful stay. A bottle of wine does not compensate for verbal harassment and staff insults. We are currently seeking a full refund for this failed experience."

"Great few days at Laneley Hall"

"My second stay here in the last couple of months and once again I was not disappointed. I stayed on the main building with a lovely room. I used the gym facilities and instead of dining elsewhere, decided to stay on site and eat at their restaurant. The food was utterly delicious and completely vindicated my decision. A great night's sleep was followed by a cracking breakfast with me fully refreshed for the day ahead. The staff were really friendly and I will be here again when I am next in the area."
