Came in today and was offered half price cakes. We asked for one then he said buy one get one free. Cheeky way of up selling the cakes. I thought it humorous and quite clever so agreed to two cakes. When the order came, it was one full price cake and no free one. On top of that, he tried to short change me. I called him on it and he had to have the girl help him with the change. It still wasn't correct but I let it slide. Long story short, use a card to pay...

I can honestly say I went back to Costa today as I've had a few bad experiences in the shop over the past couple of months with their service but today I went in and a young girl by the name of Ellie served me and although she was rushed off her feet her service went above and beyond she was brilliant and I will definitely be back thanks to this young lady

Get my daily (or more) coffee from these guys and without fail are some of the friendliest baristas I've met. Always able to have a little laugh with you as you wait for your order, and extremely helpful about the options.

Lovely spot for a costa clean tidy with helpful friendly staff and manager, always a pleasure to pop in for a cuppa but it does get busy tho,when i visit Merthyr town i always pop in for a cuppa and a cake or sometimes a toasted sandwich they've now got extra seating outside which is brilliant i think they will be looking for a bigger place soon highly recommend you popping in for a cuppa

My step daughter visited with my daughter this morning. The server wished my daughter a happy birthday (My daughter was wearing a birthday Tiara) and gave her extra soya milk in her hot chocolate as she is only young. If that server does see this review then thank you. You made my daughters day.

Tables emptied by staff but nothing wiped down. No toilet roll, toilet a mess. Served a coffee as just a cup and a spoon, a saucer at least would have been nice and the flies on the cups on top of the coffee machine... 🤮.

Although Costa sent out an Email this morning stating that the shops were still opening for take away orders only and that toilets would still be open for customers this was not the case here, TOILETS ARE CLOSED as the staff would have to disinfect the whole area after each person had used them. Completely and utterly wrong.... customers should be allowed to use them especially to wash their hands to keep everyone safe.

1st visit to this Costa in Merthyr Tydfil and lovely experience. Very spacious and light. Really friendly staff and clean tables....always a bonus. Arrived as a party of 3 with a 6 month old and plenty of space to put an highchaur. We all decided to try one of the new xmas flavours and wasnt disappointed. Irish velvet cappuccino is a must if you ask me! Added a slice of Black forest and white chocolate cake which was a match made in heaven lol. Another bonus was clean toilets which is very unusual at any Costa I have frequented. Well impressed with Costa Merthyr Tydfil

In the forgotten corner of Merthyr on a Sunday, even with minimal staff, this branch seems to cope really well. Relatively clean and tidy. Staff are quick to serve. Poor wifi connection inside for those who cant live without it.

Coffee great, as always, but this place is clearly understaffed. Second time I've been here and on both occasions there's been 3 people serving and almost every table was left uncleared and/or unwiped and the sugar this time the sugar had run out too. Simply not up to the standards I expect from Costa.

Costa is a very good coffee and snack business, but, if I say it often enough, they might accept that their prices are LUDICROUSLY expensive, and they ought to be aware that they can grow the business by putting prices in a reality zone . How do Aldi and Lidl continue to prosper?

The other member of staff then went 2 repair 1 of the toilet,s and then went straight back 2 serveing customers, I'm not saying they did,nt wash there hands but those germs would b all over there clothes and could b eserly transferd 2 any food or drinks they seem. Think they should av just closed the toilet until after they stopped serving customers

Stopped in here for a pint just before closing, while travelling around Wales. Michelle welcomed us with open arms. She is truly a lovely person and made this our favourite pub by far. So much so that we came back the following day for lunch and we were welcomed back, by name on walking in. Everyone was lovely and friendly. We would highly recommend coming here, even if it is out of your way. Very special! Lovely atmosphere and we will definitely come back next time we are in these parts.

I checked in on 20/09 and checked out on the 22/09, stayed in the room 215. The first night, although we slept on a very uncomfortable mattress we managed to have a good night of sleep. However, on Saturday a guest was placed in the room 214 just next to ours. This guest (likely to be a local using the room to party with his mates) had people coming in and out his room throughout the night. They were extremely noisy until 7.30am, it was clear to me that whoever was there was using drugs and i even could see though my window someone who i believe was a dealer coming to deliver stuff to them. It made us feel very unsafe because the hotel do not ask for IDs having no control of who is in or out, and also not having anyone at the reception to tackle this type of behaviour. We had a sleepless night and had to drive 5 hours early next morning. I never heard any apology or offered any sort of compensation. I next day sent the management an email and never had a reply until this date. I'll never stay there ever again! - Creaking floor - Noise - Uncomfortable bed

Out of towners here, so we are unaware of what's really good/bad and chose this place as reviews were consistently high but I can't see why after eating here. We walked up a few mountains today so famished and really looking forward to a meal out . Place is very cold inside which personally works for me but most people will find it chilly. I was glad to have read this in reviews so left my jumper and fleece on in case and was glad I did. We were sat at a table with food on all the seats which I brushed off , wobbly table which I have fixed. Clearly understaffed as one waitress in uniform and one other lady in own clothes (really need uniform to promote professional standards) were working. No drinks menu offered and food menu seen better days . Grabbed a drinks menu from a nearby empty table , all moist and worn (see pictures). Wife ordered roast potatoes and chicken, someone needs to explain to the wait staff and the chef the difference between boiled and roast potatoes (see pics). My order penne with chicken and peppers was instantly forgettable - Salad not prepared correctly (ends left on ) and while meal would be impressive for a 8 year old to knock up it lacked any interest in design and taste (see pics). I left hungry but didn't want anything else from here. (McDonald's is about 0.5 miles away thank goodness) Teens ordered 2 x calzones which were deemed just about ok but lacking in filling. Cokes x 6 , sprite x 1 total £85 . I feel sad for the locals if this is the best they have (only The New Inn beat them on reviews but they were fully booked , this place had many tables empty.) none of the above issues are massively major but when put together presented a experience that disappointed us all and would mean we definitely won't return.
