The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lovely. My room had a king size and a single bed. There was plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits and two armchairs and a coffee table. The modern bathroom had a massive walk in shower with a large shower head. The toilet was very clean. There was plenty of hot water and the heating was on all night, not like some places I've stayed in.

Unfortunately the hand towels were a bit thread bare but clean. There were some stains on the cushions on the beds but the bedding was clean. The sealer around the shower is going mouldy but the shower was clean.

The room was spotless, comfortable, warm and very nicely done out. Lovely touches and great decor. Everything you might need was thought of. So thank you! The evening meal in the restaurant bar was excellent. Breakfast was too, at such an early hour (of my chosing) whilst the weather was absolutely grim outside - storm Bert! So well done the kitchen staff for braving the vile weather in the dark to serve the guests. It was fantastic value all round. The staff are super cool, friendly, and helpful. I've stayed in a lot of places and I thought the Marquis was spot on.

To be picky, the Saturday night live music - though good - was about 20 decibels too loud for a hotel and the wet room shower could probably do with a small protruding floor seal around the edge, which I've seen in other places. It didn't affect me, but I gather the floor can get quite wet if a longer shower is taken, and I can see how that might happen.

In case it's helpful to note, the check-in is at bar/ restaurant counter. Very friendly staff. Room is spacious and comfortable. There was bottled water and biscuits which was a nice touch. The bathroom is spacious too with good shower power. The cooked breakfast sets you up for your walks for the day. Good location to the Brecon Beacons. Many restaurants and shops just walking distance away.

The entrance to the rooms is at the back, and it's behind the restaurant kitchen, so it's not the most welcoming one. But it wasn't really an issue for us as we were mostly out. Parking is tight but manageable.

The hotel was up to my expectations, the rooms are very nicely decorated, and the bathroom was very nice, but in need of some further TLC, silicon mould, which wouldn't take too much effort to return it to its nice modern style. The staff were very helpful and considerate.

Nothing really to dislike, this is a value for money hotel, just needs some time spending on it in the TLC department. Having to park on the street as the car park was disorganised was a bit inconvenient, as I was in my works van, with kit in, but it was fine in the morning.

Staff were lovely and accommodating. The kitchen closed at 8pm but they still made food for my friends and I who arrived after 8. Bless their kind souls for curing my h-anger! Rooms were nice warm and clean! Towels smelled so fresh. Bathroom was spotless! Food was nice!

I was in Room 1 and I felt like the bathroom was going to flood during my shower because the drain didn't drain fast enough 😅 I had to lower the shower pressure to a trickle.

I have stayed at the Marquis a few times in the past and I was impressed when I booked in. The manager warned me that there was live music in the venue that evening and asked me if I wished to move room. As this was very unlikely to affect me, I told no thank you. The staff are brilliant and the town location is just what I needed. Breakfast was excellent!

Nothing really, but parking could be a problem some days.

All the staff I met over the two days were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was quiet and warm and the shower was *excellent*. The hotel is also situated very near the centre of Aberdare and is easy to come and go from.

Two tiny issues: i. there was standing water on the metal walkway to the rooms that was quite deep ii. the green light from the fire exit in the room is quite distracting when you're trying to sleep (I understand why, legally, it has to be there).

Lovely warm welcome from team on arrival at approx 2.30 pm on Saturday 27th Jan shown to our room by young lady. fab sized room with good facilities. Saturday evening lovely friendly lady serving at bar Tracey. Equally friendly welcome at breakfast with the sisters Heidi and Kelly had a nice conversation with them they are a real credit to your business having worked as management in hospitality myself I understand the importance of guest satisfaction your team members really stood out as providing exceptional service. Nicely cooked breakfast fresh and piping hot served efficiently and with a smile and made such a difference to my morning as I was suffering with a self inflicted sore head after partying on sat evening !! Thank you for a wonderful stay we usually stay at Premier Inn however when we are next in Aberdare we will be making a return visit the Marquis. Kind regards Carol and Jason

Felt the bedding could've smelt fresher however the beds were really comfortable and had a great night's sleep.

The room looked like it had been recently refurbished with large clean and modern bathroom. Water, tea & coffee, biscuits and toiletries free in the room.

Access to the room is a the back of the pub from a set of metal external stairs. From the outside it looked a bit run down

The food was exceptional, really delicious and large portion sizes. The team were friendly as were the locals we saw. The room was clean and comfortable, wifi and TV worked well.

The parking was a little awkward but we were able to park. The approach may make you worry as it isn't the prettiest, but once inside, you will have a comfortable stay with nice people and good food. The main restaurant is accessed via a small path outside so if it is raining you maybe need a coat! But it's Wales, you should have a coat 🙂.
