Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Staff were brilliant and helpful, the free breakfast voucher we used the breakfast was very good.
Food finished a tad early at 6 which didn’t quite suit as we were working long hours,
Location
Would have been nice if they had breakfast on situ but it’s nice of them to offer a voucher that can be used in a nearby hotel
The room was comfortable and clean. The bar area was nice.
The shower wasnt great and took a while to get warm. You have to go to Blancos down thr road for breakfast.
Central nice big room
Only issue was travelling tomBlancos for breakfast
The Grand Hotel is at an excellent location opposite the railway station. The room was large and comfortable, the bar was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.
if breakfast had been at the hotel, rather a ten minute walk away.
Close to town. Architectural look. Staff friendly
Nothing, hotel in renovation but was still clean
Friendly , clean, comfortable
Room facilities a bit lacking
Staff pleasent and tried to be helpful but overall not great.
Car park full so unable to park. Second option difficult to find and then had a barrier to prevent access which wasnt near the hotel and looked like a scrapyard rather than a car park. I was not going to leave my car in there vene if I could get in. Had to pay for parking which only went up to midmight so had to get up in the morning to go and pay again. Breakfast supplied...by another hotel 20 mins away! Bathroom was dirty, door didnt fit properly, noisy aircon outside room which went off every 2 minutes. I would say avoid this location.
Nice and clean and tidy, thanks
Everything was good, nice hard mattress, aircon, decent sized tv
Shower was a bit pants

Ok / in die Jahre gekommenes altes Hotel, aber mit Charme und sympathisch geführt.
Fenster liessen sich praktisch nicht öffnen. Ganz schlecht war das Frühstück im „ Partner- Hotel“ Blanco‘s- hierfür erhielten wir Gutschein, da es im Grand Hotel kein Frühstück gab. Das Essen dort war wirklich schlecht- alles alle schon zum 9h, ausser weiterhin fettiger bacon und Würste. Kein jogurth/ nur Wassermelone/ auch auf Nachfrage nichts weiter.
amazing room, excelleny service, everything was perfect
Only thing was the bed was too hard
Great central location and very helpful and friendly staff
The room was a little tired but had everything I needed. Didn’t like having to go to another hotel for breakfast but it was an excellent breakfast when I got there. There was a loud party going on mid afternoon when I arrived but thankfully it had stopped at bedtime.
Good size room, comfy bed, clean, plenty of tea and coffee with kettle. Nice shower.
Window blind had fallen down and just left on the window sill. So no curtain or blind at window. No breakfast chef, so I was given a breakfast voucher for Blancos Hotel, but not informed of the distance I had to walk without being given directions how to get there, it took me nearly 30 minutes including going under two underpasses, I nearly gave up and asked 4 different people on the way for directions to get there. Port Talbot isn’t the most desirable place to walk about on your own.
Clean room, comfy bed, close to train station
Couldn’t get air con to work
Comfortable rooms and nice bars
We weren't told we had breakfast vouchers to use at another hotel ( as their restaurant was closed ) until we left !
Gegenüber vom Bahnhof und Busbahnhof! Großes Zimmer!
Central location.very nice room
Noisy guests in adjacent rooms
Location
Building works early in the morning outside Waiting outside to get an answer late at night to check in also waiting to check out
Nothing. I drove past it as it looked nothing like the pictures
Damp, mouldy, dirty, dusty, rundown. We left after 30 minutes
Only stayed in night, unfortunately food not available but it was clean , comfortable and air conditioning.
No food service for evening meal. There were some locals in bar who were a little bit boisterous in the afternoon.
Whilst the building internally and externally would not really be described as anything other than words like ' tired' or ' shabby ' what do you expect for less than £ 65 !!!! What you do get is fantastic , friendly, helpful service from every person I met . Better than the majority of places I have stayed at twice the money.
Nothing as it was all better than the price I paid.
Large and Very comfortable
The location
Access for disables very bad
Friendly staff
Clean lovely room
My room was at top loft so out of the way. Quiet.
Dated and bathroom was a bit rough. Carpark looks like a place you wouldn't want to leave you car in for 30mins let alone a whole night.
Good
Place it was
Absolutely shocking lol executives suite apparently TV didn't work no plug in sink floor dirty bed sheets grubby full of drug addicts from the council as a hostel
Clean room, comfy bed ,clean nice bathroom, All you want from a hotel, Thanks for the staff
The staff were very attentive, friendly and went over and beyond to make our stay special. We will definitely be booking again. I highly recommend this hotel.
Very convenient to the station and very clean
Nothing
Location
Unfortunately I was a allocated room (103) where the blind was tied up and could not be lowered. I was then offered another room where the binds were down and could not be raised. When I said it was not acceptable , the receptionist said the guests the night before had not complained. I had to accept the room. I asked a manager the next day to look and the rooms but she was too busy. I wrote afterwards and they apologized for no other room being available and confirmed that both rooms were immediately taken out of service, and the blinds have been repaired. However I have not been offered any compensation.
The room was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable. It had everything required for a single traveller who is coming into town for work.
The wifi wasn't strong in my room and I had meetings to run while I was travelling and I needed to use a nearby cafe.
Clean and staff were lovely
Wifi didnt work in our room unfortunately. Not a big issue but only thing i can think of.
The mattress
Not clean; the other room option was ludicrous noting the offered room was tiny and dirty.
wery clean and the staff so friendly and helpful
Cleaned and the room atendant staff where so lovely
I've stayed here many times and I must say the staff and management are incredibly professional,polite and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are allways clean and presentable .With the addition of the Legends bar next door this is my go to when ever I'm in the area..
This is the second time we stay there. The hotel is very comfortable, excellent location. But for us the best are the staff. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful.
Friendly staff made to feel welcome
Window blind broken
Very good location, food and facilities for celebrating any occasion
Parking was very poor with the car parks stored with cars and vans which were not belonging to any guests and were not even roadworthy. Therefore guests had to use a shopping car park or park in streets resulting in having to walk in the rain to the hotel.
We had everything nearer.
No breakfast available.
Nearness to station Lift and walk in shower
Only 2 hangers/ light shade missing/had to ask for hairdryer/ no rail in shower space/ dont provide breakfast/ telephone not working
Location to the train station was handy. Room was very clean and comfortable for the price. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The inside of the building has been beautifully refurbished. I was happy to stay here whilst they continue the outside work on the hotel.
No big deal but it would have been great if there was some kind of room service for a light meal like a bowl of soup or toasted sandwich. Hopefully this becomes an option once the refurbishment is completed.
Location
Very outdated, ordered a twin room was given a double, I left the hotel at 7am for a cigarette and was locked out till 8am when I called my sister to let me back in
The staff was amazing!
The room was a bit cool. I used the air conditioner, but it had some limits.
The room was lovely and clean with live entertainment at the hotel and very reasonable priced drink
Beautiful old hotel. Very convenient for train station and town centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Room was quite cold upon arrival and took hours to warm up after air conditioning was switched on.
The old features
Thin walls hearing the man next door snoring all night
Great place to stay
Not much
Reception gentlemen was really helpful person. I arrived to the hotel late night and realised booking date was mistakenly booked for for next day. Staff was really helpful and checked me in for available room. Thank you so much.
Booking in and parking was good
No breakfast facility Shower could have been cleaned of mould
Everything
Nothing
Location
Something rattling outside the window all night, room 203
Staff were helpful and polite. Room was clean and tidy. Only thing missing was. Hooks to hang towels on the wet room door
Breakfast coffee was delicious
Was meant to be staying at the Port Talbot Grand but was moved without any real explanation why. Lock didn't work on the door. Room wasn't ready for me when I arrived at 3.30 pm. Toaster wasn't working at breakfast. You're giving a hard-boiled egg!
Good location walking distance to main shopping area, train and bus
Nothing
Checking out
Dirty drab room, curtains hanging off the pole. Nails sticking out of the door frame and a manager that only cares about the venue side of the business
Proximity to the main train station
Outer facilities are a bit outdated. Lack of restaurant and meals. This should be highlighted in their adverts and promotions so guests are aware before booking. Check out time should be extended to 12pm
Location
Clean/ helpful staff
The lady on the front desk was beyond kind and helpful. The room was cleaned for us quickly (an oversight when booking). Hotel was close to the train station and cheap considering there's a festival happening nearby!
I messaged to enquire about early check in and received a reply that check in was from 11am. We arrived at 12 and they were not expecting us. (Check in is from 3pm) Despite the information recieved being wrong, the hotel prioritised us and had our room cleaned very quickly. I will also add, the walls are very thin so you can hear downstairs and your neighbours! Amd we weren't sure what was included with our stay- breakfast? Etc. Couldn't find hairdryer also.
Room was clean and comfortable, staff were excellent
Shower was poor and I thought a fridge/mini bar would have been a good addition
Very lovely place to stay
Like that we were close to town we did not have breakfast it was not in the price
How clean it was and the entertainment in the night
Good area, near to the train station & the bus station. Nicely kept hotel for the price with a comfortable bed. Would definitely visit again.
The location
Not clean at all. Holes in the walls.
Second stay at the Grand, first stay was during renovations so great to see it finish. Place is beautiful inside, so cosy and handy to my sons house. Booked again for May 26
No food service at all. Hotel would be ideal if they even offered breakfast
