Lovely room - noisy area!

The building and room itself was lovely and clean however the area was very noisy. People were screaming and shouting in rhe street until 2.30am on a sunday night monday morning! Think it was coming from the hotel opposite who had some dodgy characters outside when we got back to the room!

When I arrived at the property I was unable to get in as there was a didgital lock on the door and I was not given the code also I was not provided with the room number. Also, the Contact Telephone number on my Confirmation document was not in service and apparently not the phone number of the manmagement. Had to go through a time taking and convoluted process to gain access. Not pleased.

I was impressed how slick the check in process was despite having no staff on site. I submitted a question about an issue with check in and got a response and resolution within 10 mins. Nice room, clean, well equipped. The only downfall was creaky floorboards so take ear plugs.

Generally it was fine, but a few small niggles. On arrival we (myself and my wife) found only one towel, a bath towel. I contacted management who responded quite quickly and delivered more towels. The list of amenities included 'free bottled water' (there wasn't any) and 'Netflix available' (it isn't, unless you sign in with your own account) Apart from those issues it was OK. Just a bit surprised that there is actually no one there apart from guests, no reception or staff in the building. More like an Airbnb or hostel than a hotel really.

Serviced rooms with no reception on site. The room itself was fine, comfy bed, very clean. Access by code at the front door, then a lock box with your room key by the door. Everything about the room was just fine. The problem was the cackling drunk next door neighbours. Not in the hotel, but in the room in the building next to mine. I went to bed at 9 as had to be up early next morning for a big bike ride. I was woken up at 12 by raucous drunk laughter, two women clearly hammered and who clearly didn’t care a) who knew it or b) whether people nearby were trying to sleep. This went on, no lie, until 5 am. Just as I had given up and starting loading the car for my ride, I noticed it had gone quiet next door. Thought about making a racket, but unlike certain others, I wasn’t selfish enough to affect the other people around me.

This hotel is very well placed to be within easy walking distance of the sea front and all the night life. The car park is right behind the hotel and even though it is a pay and dispay car park, the convenience of its location is well worth the six pounds for a full day charge. Overnight parking is free after 6.00p.m.

Pretty disappointed for the price we paid. These pics are obviously old because it was very run-down. The toilet seat was broken, the pillows on the rock-hard bed were so flat, even stacking the 2 didn't help. The floor felt like it was broken under the rug. Every review I see just focused on how lovely the place smelled, which it did, but maybe because they didn't want to mention the state of disrepair? In all my years of travelling, I don't think I ever had to ask for a hair dryer, it is almost always standard. I am not trying to seem mean, I am just being honest. This place was not worth the money. The only good thing, is where it is located in Porthcawl. Don't count on getting any parking on the street, just go to the John St parking lot and pay. It is less stressful.

No welcome desk all self check in which didn’t know we caught the owner in the car as we arrived as main door was locked needed a code to access. Luckily brought my own hairdryer as wasn’t one a available or fan
