James' Place at Dowlais

Lovely and clean although noise from upstairs when staying on the ground floor was audible and seemingly unavoidable. That aside, it’s a cosy little spot that I would highly recommend as an affordable option to anyone looking to explore the Brecons. The information provided by the hosts on local amenities and things to do was thorough and very informative. All in all a solid stay.

Always enjoy staying at any James Place properties, never had a complaint to make. Clean, comfy, great decor, staff are always friendly and helpful. Just splendid!

Lovely place but the photos aren't too accurate. I was excited at first but underwhelmed when I saw it in real life. The room was too dark too. Location is okay and there's a nice Chinese restaurant Infront. Still worth the money though

The room smells clean as you come in, always a great start. Spotlessly clean. Rooms are ensuite with a little kitchen area, all decorated differently. We had a little table to eat at as well. Chocolates and home made Welsh cakes with milk in the fridge was a nice touch. Self check in with a pin code key box. Building felt secure. Great views of the hills from the top room. Street parking available just outside the front door. A couple of convenience stores very close. Great location for visiting Merthyr.

Great customer service. Great location. Affordable.

Pretty reasonable place with easy parking and decent amenities

My accommodation at James's Place was perfect for my needs. Modern and stylish design. Fresh and clean throughout. Nice touches such as Welsh cakes and milk on arrival. Great information shared about the local area. Would highly recommend 10/10

I really enjoy staying at a James Place property, always a go to wherever I am in the area... excellent

I planned my peaceful escape in Brecon here and could not have been more WRONG about this place. The room was shabby and pokey and the other guests argued constantly. The INTRUSIVE HOST forced his way into my small living space whilst throwing accusations around regarding a supposed altercation with a man. The CREEPY HOST set about searching my private area and was unsuccessful in his quest for other guests as I had spent the whole trip there alone. I did not receive any apology for the invasion of my privacy, personal space or being called a LIAR. Subsequently, I left the premises although I had paid for extra nights . I felt insulted , threatened and most importantly, unsafe. I would’ve been in better hands at FAULTY TOWERS !!!
