Booked 2 nights here. I booked a double room to find out it’s two single beds pushed together, when asking I got told they are all like that. After the first night we did not get any sleep the metal springs digging in all night no matter where you laid! Made a complaint to house keeper dawn she was lovely and very friendly. We got moved rooms to a double bed that I got told in the first place did not have double beds in the whole hotel. Another down fall when stripping bed in the morning a number of brown stains on pillows and duvet! Owner needs to upgrade the mattresses and bedding!

This is the second time I've stayed here first was in Room 13 which was lovely bar the mattress not comfy. Last night I stayed in room 8 shower head not working properly the mattress was awful I have a chronic pain condition which was worsened because of this. No staff on site at night. Too much noise from drunk guests having a party. I want to say a special thank you to Stephanie, Fay and Dawn lovely staff members so helpful. The owners need to buy new mattresses and bedding and actually put some money in to maintenence urgently. I wasn't offered a refund but got a free dinner.

We stayed here Valentine’s evening, meant to be the weekend. The hotel is unmanned and you have a phone number to text. I did try calling the number but there was no answer. We were meant to stay for 2 nights, the room was very modern, but very cold, after a text this was resolved. But under the bed was very dusty I left my name in the dust. And the bed slates were not all on. This was only a miner issue as the real horror was the noise coming from the bistro until gone 12.30 then came the customers leaving it was really bad all kicking off in the corridors I feel if this was manned then it would limit this. We sent a text but not ideal as it didn’t really do anything. We didn’t stay another night and sadly didn’t receive our money back either. I feel it should be in the Description that it can be very noisy late in the evening. Some people don’t mind this, but i definitely would have avoided staying here and won’t be returning.

My son and I went for lunch, it was absolutely stunning, so tasty and gr eat value. Friendly staff, couldnt do enough for us, so impressed would definitely recommend. We usually go to Hot Gossip but stumbled across Cardiff Arms, so glad we did, would go back every time, thoroughly enjoyed and would totally recommend.

Stayed here for one night. Rooms was massive and really clean. We went down into the bar for a few drinks and the staff were brilliant. All happy and welcoming. The bar had good range of drinks ans cocktails. We didn't eat here but the food looked great. They don't offer breakfast but gave a greggs voucher to get breakfast when we left which I thought was a nice touch. All in all would stay here again.

Went for a meal last weekend. Lovely place and the decor is great. Atmosphere is great and the food was very nice. Service was quite slow at the bar, but I think new people were being trained.

Quite a wait when you ordered cocktails and it wasn't particularly busy. I thought £14 for two cocktails was expensive and even more so if you ordered two individually. The food we ordered 1. Scampi bites The breadcrumb coating was massively overcooked, the scampi tasted stale and tartare sauce tasted like it had come straightfrom a jar. 2. Meatballs Again, overcooked to the point where you could practically bounce them and the tomato sauce taste and texture was similar to basic tomato puree. 3. Calamari rings. Chewy and again, overdone. 4 Chicken strips with bbq sauce, passable. 5, Garlic mushrooms. Again passable but nothing to write home about and I do them better at home. Placed at a little tound table barely big enough to accommodate our meal and faced by drinkers leaving us feeling like we sat in a goldfish bowl. Overall, not an enjoyable experience which is a shame because it has potential as a menu. Won't be going back though.

Went here for a change to celebrate our anniversary. We booked in advance. Our table was tiny and overlooked by people all drinking on a middle island which felt uncomfortable when we were eating it was like being in a goldfish bowl. We asked if we could sit on a table with a comfortable seat and were told people were due to it in 20 minutes and then a reserved was placed on it. We were there for two hours nobody occupied the table in fact the dining area was quiet. The drinks are very expensive. It took a long time to be served at the bar. The food was very disappointing we chose 5 dishes to share and nachos which were soggy and just warm. The meatballs were cremated and in a cheap tomato sauce. The chicken stripes and barbecue sauce were nice. The calamari was slightly chewy. The scampi was very over done and didn't taste fresh and out of a jar tartar sauce. Garlic mushrooms were acceptable but anybody can cook garlic mushrooms. Everything was just warm. It's meant to be a notch up from pub food it's a poor second. We took photos to put on our Facebook to be honest they looked embarrassing. We would not go there again. Poor quality. Poor food. Poor table and expensive drinks.

Come here a lot for food or drinks and I have to say this is the third time I’ve been here where they haven’t had any alternative milks at all, they usually have a very limited supply but I’ve always made do but now they don’t have any and it’s been weeks! Really disappointing!

Even though it was just a sleepover, we got three late, but we're welcome by reception, given our keys and shown to our room. The room was sorority big. We booked a double, but the bed seemed to be king-size. The pub, underneath the bedrooms seemed to be in full swing when we arrived, but you couldn't hear a thing in the bedroom. A very natural feel to the shower and toilet with an interesting sink. Slept very well and the fresh Welsh atmosphere did its job, or was it the bed? Awoke fresh and invigorated, ready for a hectic day. Would I stay here again? Yes.

The room was freshly renovated and spacious with almost everything needed. The mountain view was amazing. I enjoyed sitting on a window sill in the morning drinking coffee, relaxing and watching the surroundings. The hotel is located in the same building as the pub (pretty obvious), and this is the best and most popular pub within 5 km. We normally tend to explore the location and dine in different places, but it really was the best dining spot and we visited it 3 times during a 2-night stay. If you wanna stay in the room, watch telly and go to bed at 10 PM, it is not the right place (pub closes at around midnight and it tends to be noisy especially when there is live music). But it you enjoy the atmosphere it is perfect. There was a cozy yard to enjoy the drinks. Bed was comfy. The hills nearby are perfect for a hike. Overall really good value for money.

Ordered a special chow main had pork in a red sauce on top which looked like sweet and sour but what apparently BBQ - in special Chow main - really - it’s the worse special chow menu I have ever had no fresh ingredients no king prawns no spring onions or mushrooms just lots of noodles

Food and drinks are good here, friendly atmosphere for a coffee date with baby alongside. Service is sometimes short and impersonal but sometimes great. It can get quite loud and overstimulating at busy times.

First visit today, will definitely go again. Amazing Sunday roast served very quickly and by really friendly staff. Well worth a visit.
