Excellent value for money, room was spacious, well stocked tea tray and free water. Breakfast was lovely and included in the cost of the room. Big parking area behind the hotel, plenty of room. We visited so my husband could go to bike park wales and as others have said he was able to store his bike inside the breakfast area which is more secure than being left in the car. Overall a great stay, we wanted to check in later than 9pm and the owners made sure they were still there to welcome us. Would stay again if I was in the area.

Nothing really - if anything the bed was a little soft and springy, which doesn’t bother me but isn’t my husbands favourite.

Easy to find good car parking, easy access, welcoming helpful and friendly. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast freshly cooked, good menu choice and ample.

Although spotlessly clean and in good repair and decor carpet in breakfast room was stained and looked unsightly especially as it was in a room specifically used for eating food. The shower was slippery and needs very pleasant stayed non slip mat in shower tray The shower cubicle lacked shelving to hold shower gel shampoo and conditioner bottle or flannel and a handrail both of which made showering difficult

I stayed at the Antelope Hotel over two nights and really enjoyed my stay. The proprietors, Neil & Claire were excellent and couldn't do enough for you. I was on a short motorcycling tour of the Brecon Beacons so the hotel was in an excellent location as a base. For security, Neil allowed the bike to be parked within the hotel garden, so all good. The room was very clean, warm and comfortable and had been recently refurbished. Everything you required was available in the room, tea, coffee, kettle, soap, shampoo etc. The large bar area was great and the food Claire prepared was fresh and plenty of it (at good prices). The choice at breakfast (which was included in the room price) was great. What a find!! I will certainly be booking to stay again. Thank you.

Couldn't fault it.

The hosts were so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent. We spent a lovely evening in the bar with the hosts and some of the regulars who seemed more like family than customers. We weren't quite sure what to expect when checking in (at the bar!) but honestly, we loved the atmosphere; the room was clean and spacious and there was nothing to fault during our stay.

I don't think there's anything negative to say. We didn't spend any time in Merthyr as we were planning a hike in the Brecon Beacons the next day so I'm not sure what the town is like - but the hotel itself was warm, comfortable and friendly which, after all, is all that matters.

The Hotel has 6 rooms and is part of a public house which also serves meals, so ideal for me. Although it is a pub, there was no noise at all as it closes at a reasonable hour each evening. The breakfast choice was good and when mine arrived, the plate was full. Good quality bacon, sausage and eggs, none of this wishy washy supermarket rubbish but proper butchers meat. The food and tea were both piping hot and to be honest, lasted me until my evening meal. That to was wonderful. A great choice, freshly cooked with good quality ingredients. Again, like the breakfast it was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The bar had a great selection of beers and lagers and it was great to chat to the locals to hear of their town and area. The hosts were excellent, nothing to fault there. Hard working and passionate about their business, nothing was too much trouble. I took their advice and booked a trip on the Brecon Mountain Railway which was a great trip. I had travelled to Dowlais from Durham on my motorcycle to spectate at the nearby Aberdare circuit. A great weekend. The hotel had secure parking at the rear of the property which was a big plus. I would recommend this hotel to everyone, you will not be disappointed with your stay.

There was nothing to "not like"

What a lovely little hotel. Clare and Neil were so lovely. They couldn't do enough for you! Everyone was friendly and welcoming 😊 The hotel room was exactly what I needed. Clean, had the amenities I needed, and was central to everything I wanted to do while away. And the breakfast was so good - 'banging!!' 😋 Set me up for my days of hiking well! I would highly recommend staying here and looking forward to a return visit in the future. 😊

Lovely welcome from Neil and Claire the owners. Showed to our room and all facilities. We enjoyed our stay so much we extended it for another day. Made to feel part of the family. The bar food was amazing. Great value for money and so much!!!! Great nase for expliring the area too. Easy access to all areas. Even the locals in the bar are so helpful. Will definitely be back when in this neck of the woods again. Thank you both for making us feel so welcome.

Clean and friendly, very good value for money. Slightly remote location suited me very well - very close to the Heads of the Valleys road, itself an excellent driving experience. Also not far from attractions like the Bannau Brycheiniog, Ystradfellte etc, and of course industrial South Wales.

A more personal check-in, although the text exchanges were very friendly.

The location. It was a little further out of Merthyr but I chose it because of the parking. Breakfast was included and was really lovely. Food in the bar area was really good. The hosts were lovely friendly people and we were able to check in a bit earlier than originally thought which was good. All in all a really great stay.

Everything was fine for us. Access to rooms is up external stairway which wasn’t a problem for us.

The service I received from my arrival to when I left was excellent. The owners, Neil and Claire, were brilliant hosts and went out their way to make my stay enjoyable. The food was reasonable priced, and they had a well stocked bar with Beers. My room was very clean and tidy, and I liked the easy check-in Overall, this is a brilliant hotel to stay in and when I am down this way again, I will be booking to stay here again.
