Incredible decor, there isn’t one small detail which Howfield Hotel has missed! Amazed by the thought of the little touches to the decor. Very pretty rooms. Very clean and easy to get to from the public car park. Great restaurant choices around the hotel too. Highly recommended.

The bathroom was damp, the bedside lamp didn’t work and the room was so hot we had to have the windows open. However, the street was so noisy we’ve had the worst nights sleep in a long time. We put the fan on, but it’s broken meaning there was no way to cool our dog now. Would not recommend

Worth going back to Merthyr, just to stay here!

Probably the nicest, best decorated and beautiful room I have stayed in (and I travel for work a lot). Very comfortable, excellent price. Close to the railways station and local restaurants.

Modern and well furnished property at a great price. Check in instructions were precise and clear. I stayed on the top floor and both nights there was a loud hum (sounded like extract fan runs 24/7) though I didn’t take this up with management. I’d stay again. But would probably request a different room due to the noise mentioned.

good value

The room of the hotel was beautiful and decorated to a high standard and very resonanbly priced for the quality. My only criticism is that there was no towels supplied so was quite in shock when i took a shower to have nothing to dry myself with. i was not sure if this was an oversight as a bathroom mat was supplied and also shampoo, condition and shower gel. Worth the price paid as lots of add ons to use sky tv and tea and coffee!

Unattended, self check-in hotel. Recently refurbished. Spotlessly clean. Room was quite small, but well laid out and well decorated. The bed was so comfortable that we didn't want to get up into the morning. Overall, it was excellent value for money and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again
