Howfield Hotel

This was our first time staying at a hotel that wasn't staffed. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The accommodations were very modern. Plenty of hot water. Easy access to both train and bus stations. Walking distance to a variety of restaurants and grocery stores. Quiet. We didn't hear street noise. Stairs are steep, as others have noted. Google Maps doesn't pin the location precisely, so look for the sign. We also recommend Köz Turkish Restaurant for a fabulous evening meal, Cafe N Joy for a simple breakfast or lunch, and hiking the Motorway up Pen Y Fan.

Great hotel right on the high street

Only negative was the stairs, which I knew about after I had booked. Very steep and lack of hand rails on some parts

Wow what a gem on the high street of Merthyr Tydfil Lovely accommodation and great attention to detail
