    exceptional dining
    freshly cooked breakfast
    isolated location
    limited view

    The room was clean and equipped with a comfortable double bed and flat-screen TV. The dining experience at the carvery was exceptional, offering a variety of meats and quick service. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order with a good selection, enhancing the overall experience.

    The location could be considered a bit isolated.

    powerful shower

    Enjoyed a clean, comfy room with a powerful shower. The location was perfect for exploring the area. It had ample parking and allowed us to safely keep our bikes inside! The carvery dinner was also a highlight. a proper, hearty meal that really hit the spot after a long day.

    warm room

    The room was very nice and comfortable. I loved the spacious layout and the decent bathroom. It felt homey. Having tea-making facilities was a nice touch. The bed was comfy, but the décor was a bit dated. it got a tad warm at night, and the window was hard to open.

    Request a power shower upon check-in for the best bathing experience. The extra water pressure is worth it.

    dated decor
    warm room

    the staff were super friendly and helpful, breakfast was good with a nice fry-up, and the carvery dinners are great value for money. rooms were cleaned daily and had a constant supply of hot water. the location is also a good base for exploring the brecon beacons which was really nice.

    the rooms seemed a bit dated and could use some updates. also, it got kinda warm at night and the window was hard to open.

    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    breathtaking mountains
    missing toiletries

    We had a blast on our group trip! The mountains were stunning, and we loved visiting Cyfarthfa Park & Castle and catching a show at Theatre Soar. The staff were super friendly, and the food was a highlight, particularly the delicious breakfast spread. Just a heads up, there's no breakfast included now, so plan ahead for that.

    One downside was that our room had some missing toiletries, which was a bit disappointing compared to our previous stay.

    My stay at The Bessemer Hotel was enjoyable overall. The cleanliness of the rooms and friendliness of the staff stood out. While the décor felt a bit dated, it didn't detract from the experience. The carvery dinner provided excellent value for money as well!

    friendly service
    spacious room
    great pool

    stayed for 2 nights in a large double room at Bessemer. plenty of car parking space made arrival easy. the quick check-in was a breeze with friendly staff welcoming us. the room had tons of space. A large bathroom with his & hers basins and a lovely warm shower. the competition-sized pool was a hit for relaxation.

    the bed was a bit soft, which interrupted our sleep.

    friendly staff but outdated facilities

    The staff provided excellent service during our stay, always attentive and welcoming. the location was perfect for visiting our family nearby, making it convenient for us.

    The facilities need significant upgrades.

    Location sits in a residential area, making it feel a bit isolated from hotspots. Rooms, notably the décor, show signs of wear and are somewhat outdated. The noise from creaking floorboards in adjacent rooms can disrupt your rest, especially if you're a light sleeper. If you're in the back, expect an intrusive fan noise from the kitchen starting early in the morning. Breakfast timing is limited and can be a scramble, especially with a finish at 8:30 AM that leaves little room for relaxed mornings. On a couple of occasions, issues with room facilities, such as light malfunctions and uncomfortable beds, made for less-than-ideal experiences.
