My partner and I went to the Bessemer for Sunday Lunch. It was a birthday lunch. When we arrived, the bar area was full, but our lunch was booked for 2.30pm, and we were sitting down at our table by 2.30. The meal we chose was a Carvery. We have many carvery meals at many different establishments, but I must... More

The very few staff need to been informed on Customer Service Training...The Receptionist seemed to be doing most of the work ie serving drinks, serving breakfasts and clearing... More

The Bessemer however, left a lot to be desired. We had a carvery and the food was perfectly fine, but the decor and... More

This was the most awful hotel I have ever stayed in. The walls are paper-thin allowing you to hear the next door room occupants - it is almost as if they are in the same room!. The rooms are cramped and not that clean, and the bed I slept in was damp. When I described my experience at the desk... More

A modern syled hotel with goog quality, clean comfortable rooms. Service is very good to excellent. The restaurant serves a fantastic carvery meal every day with other main course dishes available. The hotel location is not in the prettiest place in Wales, but its situation means that the rural areas of Breconshire etc, and also the urban areas of Cardiff,... More

There were 2 chairs and a little desk come dressing table. All the lights and the radiators worked (they don't in some places!)- and th shower... More
