Metropole Hotel and Spa

Loved the location. Staff were really helpful and friendly. The spa was well maintained and everything worked properly. The bedroom was a great size really comfy bed and excellent shower. The food was excellent a choice of 2 restaurants we ate in Spencers as it gave more choice. It wasn't overpriced and we felt very relaxed and well looked after. We frequently travel from Cardiff to Aberystwyth so this is a great half way point. We will definitely be back.

Back in the 1990s, I holidayed in Llandod for the Victorian Festival, staying at a local b&b (owners now retired) but spent a lot more f time at the Metropole for drinks, meals and events, so it was my top choice for this holiday. It did not disappoint! I liked everything about staying here. Plenty of parking, help unloading our luggage on arrival, helpful and polite staff at all levels from cleaners to reception. The place simply works, and works smoothly - but then they have had over 100 years of running this hotel (there is an interesting display about its history along the corridor that stretches front to back). The standard double room was comfortable, spacious and a nice blend of tradition and modern. The en-suite was large, with a very good waterfall shower over the bath, automatic lighting and decent extractor fan. For a large hotel, the room was quiet, and there was less noise from other rooms than in many more modern buildings. The self service breakfast was excellent, with good vegetarian options too, in a very large dining room. We didn’t have a chance to dine there in the evening, as we were busy with festival event every night, but another time would try the restaurant. The staff were very helpful about packages I needed to be sent to the hotel - the first few were already in my room when I arrived. WiFi was absolutely fine. It worked so well for this trip, I would definitely stay there again.

Nice bathroom with a bath and a decent sized shower. Good breakfast with some decent healthy options as well as the usual stuff. Good location and a decent sized car park. After our poor dining experience on the first night (see what I didn't like), we tried the main restaurant for our final night there. 3 courses for £33. All food served together (table of 8) and all good. A complete turnaround from night 1.

Stayed in room 201, which was in the centre of the hotel, So unfortunately there were no views from the window 😧 (but it was the last room available on Booking .com, so could not really complain). That said, the room did have a Nice double bed. The bathroom was fitted with both a bath and separate shower cubicle. A must for those who find it hard to climb into the bath to use the shower. The Staff on reception were great. Very Helpful, Chatty and Generally Pleasant . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every one of the staff I interacted with were very helpful. No need to haul your bags up the stairs to the Reception! As there is a lift from the car park to the first floor, was very useful. Very large private car park, with segregated area for the large number of motorcycles which our group had. Food was excellent, both at breakfast and dinner. Sorry I did not make better use of the pool, which I promise to make better use of ion my next visit.

The location is great right in the middle of the town. The bed was warm and the mattress wasn't hard. The comfortable lounge area where residents and non residents can sit and have a drink. The staff were happy to help with any questions. They were flexible when I changed a dinner reservation.
