Went for first time weekend before last.
We stayed at the Prem Inn which is a 2 min drive away.
You know what you get – basic but comfy…bikes in rooms no probs if not too dirty though we left ours in car/van. The local oiks must know it’s a biker hot-spot though.
Ok pub next door where you can get an eat-all-you-can breakfast for £9.
Merthyr town centre is a short taxi ride away…I wouldn’t bother though.
I’m originally from S Wales and had an idea what the place would be like and it was worse.
Loads of shouty pissed-up nobbers, shopping trolleys with people in, piles of puke and cops stood opposite one pub so clearly expecting something to kick off. Had a nice curry at Red Spice but the service was shockingly bad and it wasn’t busy.
I won’t stay in Merthyr again when I go to BPW next.
If there’s a good B&B option with a decent local pub out of MT I’d prefer that, or Cardiff would be a good shout.
