2/10 Poor

Tried to cancel. Manager wouldn’t respond. Still got charged even though I didnt stay there. Manager refused to refund. Absolutely diabolical. DO NOT STAY HERE.
Amanda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nothing like the photos. Very out dated and not clean. From entering the hotel, the entrance not clean or welcoming. All key were on a table by the door. Dirty carpets. Leading up to our room dirty carpets and hadn’t been decorated for along time. All doors to the rooms were open. All scruffy rooms. Quit covers massive for the quilts and hanging to the floor. We walked into our , very scruffy and floor to the bathroom very stained and not clean. At this point we decided that we would not be staying at this hotel. Not worth £89.00 per night. We have asked for a refund with hotels.com

Steven Cook: 5 stars

Castle Lodge, I was in room 1. it was a nice hotel. I recommend it to stay there. The people the owners was very nice and made me feel welcome. I would stay there again. The breakfast was okay and offered me a pack lunch to take with me because I had a long way to go. I would recommend four stars.⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

2/10 Poor

The property fell far short of what could reasonably be described as a hotel, more like rooms situated above an empty pub. On arrival, I was shown a basic breakfast room and told to operate the tea urn myself if i was to come down before 8am; only cereals were available. Access to the rooms was via a staircase with filthy, heavily stained carpet, and it appeared that only myself & my colleague were residents. My room had a damp smell, a double bed, and minimal furnishings. The en-suite area was horrendous: although the toilet was clean, there was no soap provided, just a couple of tubes of combined hair/body wash. The shower was lined with black mould, and the sink contained multiple hairs. Back in the bedroom, the carpet had clearly not been vacuumed and was littered with crumbs and various stains. A shelf was marked with numerous cup rings, and the single mug provided was stained. Nothing felt clean enough to use. The bar was completely empty, so we chose to dine at a nearby Nepalese restaurant instead. Later, I attempted to watch TV in the room, only to find that no channels were available. Unable to relax and concerned about possible bites, I remained fully clothed on the bed until morning—waking physically fine but mentally exhausted. We left the property at 07:45 without encountering any staff and went elsewhere for breakfast. My firm recommendation is to avoid this establishment entirely, and not to confuse it with the similary named Castle of Brecon Hotel!

Very comfortable

Spacious room which was very clean, very nice surroundings and the host was very friendly at check-in and breakfast. Will definitely stay here again when I'm in the area!

Lovely, super-helpful staff Quirky place; beside lovely village of Talgarth. Comfy beds; clean and well-equipped rooms. We’ll be back!

2/10 Poor

Shocking

I cannot believe this hotel is rated as good. Filthy carpets on way to rooms, halway covered in dirt, cobwebs in the room, dust on all the furniture, bed was as soft as marshmallow, no soap in toilet, just terrible. In fact it was that bad we didn't even stay, we just handed back the keys and walked out despite losing our payment.

6/10 Good

Not the best stay I have had

Very dated hotel , in some places very dirty on the way up to your room the wall were dirty and carpet The breakfast was a Continental which was not advertised when booking
Gareth, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room seemed to be mid-renovation, with some things looking new and others in need of replacing or upgrading. We booked and arrived very late so were grateful they could accommodate that. Maybe the room had only been partially cleaned from the previous stay due to the late notice? The bed was clean and well-made, but there was rubbish in the drawers and it hadn't been hoovered. Toilet didn't look clean either. The next day I asked if someone could hoover and they did, but not very well and with either an old hoover or one that needed emptying (it left behind that musky smell that old hoovers have). There was plenty of space to hang and store clothes and a small tea & coffee station, but only one mug and one spoon for a double room. Very limited supply of toiletries, though we take our own everywhere so not a massive issue for us. It was day 3 before we got a top-up of toilet roll so we'd been replenishing it ourselves. The (cream) carpet was heavily stained and really needs replacing. We could see other rooms had new-looking grey carpet, which added to the feeling of it being mid-renovation. There was a squashed spider on the bathroom ceiling and lots of cobwebs. It was okay as a low-budget option. Could be a lovely place to stay with more attention to detail.

4/10 Fair

Very poor value.

Room given not as picture on-line. Non atmospheric, soulless venue. Poor menu selection for an alleged hotel. More a pub with bedrooms. Paid £125, very disappointed.
Christopher, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff were nice enough on arrival, showed us to our room and we left for wedding. We didn't come back until midnight and the smell of musty damp was present. The kitchenette units were full of crumbs, there were cobwebs and spiders above the one single bed which we had to get rid of before sleeping. The sink in the one bathroom fills water and takes a while to go down. We returned the keys this morning and no mention of breakfast (which i later seen was meant to be included) Was ok, in need of a good revamp.

Great little place.

Parking was easy, staff were absolutely wonderful, nothing too much trouble, room was clean, everything we needed, great water pressure in the showers, great chippy next door which we enjoyed relaxing in the room, plus a free continental breakfast. Can not fault anything

The room shown when booking and the room given to us was very different. It was right in the basement. Lots of mosquitoes and bugs. This was despite them having other rooms empty when we checked in, but they didnt give us one. Not recommended.

Proprieter stunk of smoke. Advert did not show the chip shop attached to the hotel. Choice of smells , fish and chips or cigarette smoke. Carpets stained. Different smell of wee inside hotel. Dirty cups in room, mouldy shower mats, booken windows in room with dead flies on window sills. Broken glass outside in car park. Left after 10 minutes.
