The Visit Caerphilly Centre

It was a nice enough stay. After being there a few nights I found the bed and pillows to be not the most comfortable and struggled to sleep well, but that could just be me. The phone in the room didn’t work and the tv would lose connection intermittently. It meant ordering room service, etc had to be done by calling the hotel on your mobile and asking to be put through to the restaurant. The staff were always friendly and helpful and apologised for the inconvenience but nothing was able to get fixed during my 4 days there. Apart from that, the hotel is clean, conveniently located and has free parking. Them room service was good too.

Dette et svært spesielt hotell. Bygningen er et storslagen kulturminne fra Victoriatide etter kullbørsen i Cardiff. Rommene er overdådig store med en pussig blanding av nokså psykedeliske moderne tapeter og møbler og annet inventar i nyrokokko. Om man har i sans for historie, er det en opplevelse av gammel storhet i en by som ellers har blitt veldig sterkt forandret de siste tiårene.. For dem som ikke har sans for slikt, er det kanskje bare litt dystert og gammeldags. Men frokosten var utmerket - og for en historiker var det flott å bo her.
