Falcon Hotel

Passable

Liked: Breakfast was very good value as part of the bill, served by very helpful and friendly staff. Bed was nice and soft.
Disliked: My room overlooked the recycling depot for Carmathen which started operating at 5am. If I closed the double glazing at the windows, the noise was reduced but with the windows open, sleep was impossible. It might be an idea to tell guests this rather than leave them to find it out themselves then they can choose whether to book or whether to ask for another room.

Overall the Falcon offers a...

Liked: The Falcon Hotel was my first choice for a 3-night stay in Carmarthen as it was convenient to the train and bus stations. I booked a large double room and I would not have wanted anything smaller. The bed was comfortable and the shower adequate. The room price included an enjoyable breakfast, which must be pre-ordered the evening before. Otherwise, I did not eat any meals at the hotel.
Disliked: My room (20) was located on the upper floor overlooking the adjoining muncipal parking lot. This lot also provides rear access to the nearby Merlin’s Walk shopping mall, which receives truck deliveries and dumpster servicing in the very early hours of the morning. The weather was warm and my room hot during my visit. With no air-conditioning, I needed to keep the window open at night for ventilation and the early morning truck noise from the parking lot was not exactly conducive to a good night’s sleep.

Nice character hotel, slightly over...

Liked: Being vegetarian, the breakfast was good. However, the bathroom's extractor fan was not working, they did not replenish the toiletries (we stayed 2 nights). The parking was an issue. The hotels car park was very small, the public car park had limited spaces, and could only park maximum of 4 hours. So, if you are planning to park your car for more than 4 hours, will have to move your car.We had the top floor room, rhe WiFi did not connect. The hotel was bit cramped and bit dated, but neat and clean and well presented.
Disliked: See above

Great place to stay

Liked: Amazing staff, very kind, friendly and accommodating
Disliked: WiFi connection is not the best, otherwise it would be a 10 out of 10 rating

Functional stay in the middle...

Liked: Good location in the middle of town, friendly staff on reception and downstairs is welcoming. Room was basic but clean and had the facilities you would expect, no frills but bed was comfortable and the shower worked well.
Disliked: Bedrooms are a bit dated and need a refresh. Room was far too hot with only a small fan. People hanging around in the car park on the Saturday night, not the hotels fault but noisy especially with a taxi rank right outside. Ordering breakfast the night before is a little strange as you can’t change your mind. Car parking is a bit awkward and we were blocked in, so check with reception if you need to leave early.
