Comfortable bed and good room soundproofing from the road

No instructions provided ahead of time where to park, this would be useful for any first time visitors. We arrived shortly after 6pm to check in and the building was locked up with the lights off for the evening. Breakfast served only until 8.45am with check out by 10am at a weekend. We personally felt this was too early compared to most average check outs to be at least 11am nowadays. Whilst we would have liked to sample breakfast, the time was just too much of an early start for us on our holiday.

Very comfortable bed and great pillows! Helpful friendly owners. Fantastic sound proof windows - on the main street but no traffic noise! Personalised breakfast. Historic building with beautiful woodwork. Well loved premises with tasteful decoration and furnishings.

Builth wells is looking tired now, but is still a pleasant mid Wales stop. The Owls was a delightful find.

Location was perfect for accessing a restaurant on the evening for something to eat. Near to the job which was helpful too. Comfortable rooms.

It's not a case of didn't like, on the evening we were asked to request certain items for breakfasr the next morning, however, some items that were requested were missing from the breakfast. This was fine though, we didn't mind, it may bother others more.

It’s an old quirky property but well maintained and clean. My bed was on a bit of a slope so I did put the pillow the opposite end and slept well. Location is great, in middle of town with plenty of pubs and restaurants about but couldn’t hear any outside noise from our room which was on the front of property. Ample safe parking.

Hosts, Ian and Jo were welcoming, helpful and served an excellent breakfast. The room was clean, comfortable and had tea/coffee. I was travelling by bike and they offered secure bike storage in a locked shed. The hotel is directly on Nation Cycle Route #8 (goes past the front door) so a great option on a trip through Wales. The hotel is within a minutes walk of pub and restaurant options. Recommended.

Nice friendly welcome to a clean and very homely accommodation Assessable from the main door fronting the high street and also the convenient rear car park.

Nothing not to like! There are a few steps to accomplish which maybe a concern, however they are a shallow rise and fairly easy with plenty of handrails nearby.

The Owls is a classic guesthouse right in the centre of Builth Wells. The friendly hosts were very welcoming and locked our touring bicycles in their backyard shed. Our bed was comfy, the hot water good, the wifi OK, and the included full Welsh Breakfast was excellent. We'd stay here again.

It was all good.

Location is good, bedroom was clean and compact. Ideal for one, but a bit small for 2. Breakfast was good, and could have ordered extra if I wanted more. Hosts were very friendly.

Only a minor point is that with the small shower, a shelf for shampoo / soap would be a useful addition as bending down in the confined space was a bit difficult with a stiff back.

Characterful property, in the centre of town. Friendly, welcoming & hospitable hosts. Room size was quite reasonable. Plenty of safe, on-site parking at the rear. Lovely breakfast. Walking distance to riverside park and local eating options.

Slope of floor in room. Lots of levels and stairs to the room. Certainly not for people with mobility issues. Could do with a drawer beside the bed.

Amazing entry from the car park, lovely little walkway. Lovely greeting upon arrival from the owners who added lots of personal touches. Such a quirky place with lots of hidden gems throughout the building. Bedroom was spacious, beautifully designed and bathroom lovely and fresh. Lovely extras such as blankets to keep warm if it was cold, luckily the heating kept us snuggly. Powerful hot shower both lastnight and this morning. Breakfast was delicious and made exactly as we ordered 😋 Carpark easy to find just around the back of the building. Good sized spaces, as a new driver i needed this. Definitely will be returning
