Dated and basic

So the room was very basic, which is okay, I wasn't expecting alot for the price I paid. However, the issue was mostly in the bathroom. Bath with shower attached, no curtains and..... No holder for the shower head. It meant I had to shower with one hand holding the shower head. Absolutely ridiculous 🙄. Went to the restaurant for my evening meal, the food was nice but overpriced, especially considering the portion sizes. Also, my noodles were cold.

Mid

The room was well appointed, clean and attractive. The bathroom did not match the effort made in the bedroom. There was no standing shower, wear and tear, loose skirting, half a loo roll and just a generally underdeveloped appearance that felt low budget. The spa was underwhelming with a tepid and well damaged hot tub, missing about half the mosaicing tiles. Would not suggest as a spa hotel experience. That was the intention of our trip and we spent 25 mins in the spa area before leaving. Our experience of dining was similarly oxymoronic with some very well prepared, presented and tasty food but quite shocking service. In brief the room itself was quite nice, food was tasty but I would only stay again as a stop over but not as a get away type of experience.

Good value, a little old fashioned.

This is quite an old establishment, probably a former coaching inn. As such, it is a little old-fashioned, in need of some modernisation, but I feel that this is reflected in the price, which was very good value and included a very nice breakfast.

Stayed a couple of nights while visiting the area. Quite easy to find - though the road we were driving in on was closed due to an accident, so had to drive a 25 or so mile diversion to get to it, when we were less than 4 miles. Nice property, with a good restaurant. Room was ok - a bit of a maze. Only niggle was that the floor under the bath was rotting, owing to the bath not being sealed properly at the base - apparent in the breakfast room beneath, as the paper on the ceiling there was starting to peel (something that should be dealt with as a matter of urgency to prevent the bath ending up in the restaurant). There was an odour of chlorine from the swimming pool in the room too, though we did use the pool later on, so not such a nuisance. Staff friendly. Good parking. Bar fine, though surprising they stocked no Welsh beer, neither on pump or in bottles.

Great location, but sadly the room I was given badly needed some TLC. Damaged plaster work around the door, marks on the walls in the room, rusty shower curtain pole, dirty skirting boards and bath panel, bathroom door grubby, cracked plaster on the room walls. The whole room just needed a good re-decoration to bring it up to a suitable standard. On the plus side the food in the restaurant was enjoyable.

Excellent hotel based on 3 night stay

At first I was hesitant about booking to stay at Nant Ddu lodge hotel due to some of the reviews I have read. However upon arrival I was extremely impressed with this hotel, the staff on the reception were super helpful and friendly, the room and bathroom was beautiful, lovely and clean as well as the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was great, great selection of cold foods as well as hot. The hotel is in a fantastic location, only a 5 minute drive from Pen Y Fan and very local to the four waterfall walk which was awesome. The spa was lovely, pool, sauna, steam and jacuzzi was most enjoyable and very clean. Overall super impressed with our 3 night stay and will definitely be returning.
