Premier Inn Aberdare Hotel

£15 charge to check in before 3pm i had to atend a wedding at 3pm so I had no choice to pay £15 charge because my wife need to do her hair and so on and the room was ready at 1pm discussed never stay there again i rather slept in the car. But the wedding was fantastic.

Restaurant and reception staff were the nicest and most helpful I have ever met. All went beyond to assist my walking group with places to visit. Researching on our behalf, providing leaflets and directions. Arranged taxis and assisted with food recommendations. Thank you

Accessible room was set out well, the bathroom was fully accessible and easy to use. Staff were helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The only small downside is the limited number of disabled parking spaces adjacent to the hotel.

Just had 2 lovely nights at this hotel and felt welcomed from the moment we stepped into the hotel. Staff so friendly could not help us enough especially Debs she is an absolute star. Lovely greeting with the wine and chocolate in our room for Valentine’s Day what a wonderful touch. Room clean, showers hot, comfortable beds and a great breakfast next door. Will certainly visit again with out any hesitation.

We've always liked Premier Inn, but this was a massive disappointment. This hotel apparently has a few nicely decorated, up to date and well maintained, new rooms. We got an old room with not an iota of warmth and none of that inviting feeling. On arrival at 9pm, the window was open and the room was cold. Later found out why! No ventilation in bathroom, so after a bath, the walls in the room and carpet were damp with condensation. Several lights didn't work. Bedside lights didn't even have bulbs in them! Don't know if the heating worked, but the room wasn't warm. Drab throughout. Room was obviously suffering from neglect. Staff were helpful and polite, so no complaints there. Outside there were several health and safety concerns, with most of the lights not working, the perimeter fencing falling down. Brewers Fayre was neglected in a similar manner, with worn table tops, staining above food service areas, faulty equipment, bad signage, not great service and the new "limited breakfast array" which was honestly rubbish in comparison to the old ways. Outdoor children's play area fencing was missing many panels and on one side was collapsing. Safer to have no fence!! Cutting costs, poorly staffed and yet ever expanding! Apparently one can't complain unless you're named on the booking. Wife's getaway birthday present to me. She doesn't like to comment, so as I'm not the relevant guest, I'm not entitled to have an opinion. Pointed out that my wife does not like to say anything and they haven't responded to me further! Take note, reviews from over a year ago, reflect similar points of view, so chances of improvement are slim! Plenty more to say, but I hope that you've already got the picture. It's my understanding that due to policy changes, you can no longer expect that guaranteed level of comfort and standards in this place are well below par.

Stayed in premier inn several times before, this easiest has to the worst in terms of cleanliness. The carpet was filthy!! I think I could have used a knife to scrape off the grime of the carpet, it was that thick with dirt. Carpet desperately needs to be changed. There was a durex wrapper by the side of the bed! Disgusting! Clearly a more through sweep of the room needs to be done. The bedsheets looked clean, I so hope that they were clean sheets!!
