“The Grand Hotel strikes me as a place with genuine character, offering live music on weekends and a location practically next to the train station; the recent refurbishment seems to have been a smart move. While some may find the location less than ideal, I think the friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms make it a worthwhile consideration, especially given the price. It's a solid base for exploring South Wales, offering both comfort and convenience.”

the location suited me well for my travel plans. the shops and cafes nearby were convenient.
The room felt outdated. the carpet was stained, and the bathroom had carpet too, a bit off-putting. the bathroom window had mould. It really needs some attention.
