Disappointing Stay – Misleading Listing and Poor F

I booked this property expecting a private bathroom, as there was no mention of shared shower rooms at the time of booking. Only now, after revisiting the website, do I see that it’s listed as shared—something I’m certain wasn’t disclosed earlier. What’s more frustrating is that the cost was the same as rooms with attached bathrooms, which makes this feel like a poor value. The setup resembles more of a hostel or guest house than a proper hotel. There’s no dedicated parking, and finding a spot on the street is a challenge—you may end up walking quite a distance just to park your car. The house rules are unusually restrictive. You’re not free to come and go as you please, and the owner keeps the keys, which means you have to leave your valuables and keys with them. It felt more like being in a controlled environment than a relaxing stay—almost prison-like in terms of freedom and privacy. For the price I paid (around £40), I expected basic hotel-level facilities and autonomy. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of that.

Previous reviewers said that the decor was tired and dated; this is true, but the welcome was excellent; the bed comfortable; a decent breakfast was provided and it was a fair price. All that is more important than the decor

Ok, the place is a bit tired but the rooms are clean and the breakfast is lovely. For the price, you have to say good value.

OK hotel

Small hotel/B+B close to the centre of Carmarthen. 15 mins walk from the railway station, little/no parking at the hotel but a cheap car park nearby. Good breakfast. I would describe it as nothing special but would use it again

Loved the consistent mid-century decor, very nostalgic. Get what you pay for, clean facilities, nice atmosphere, friendly hosts. Would've liked the twin beds next to eachother as I had no option for a double, but it's what we booked so no real complaint! Decent view out the back of the hills and churchyard. Pool table and communal area was lovely and well looked after. Short walk to highstreets and pubs, not too far walking from the train station.
