Ivy Bush Royal Hotel by Compass Hospitality

Always decent value. Good location in the town, & excellent staff. Public rooms very nice indeed - some bedrooms could do with a bit of a refurb - but that's true of most hotels 😀. Either way, nothing to worry about at price paid. Breakfast is very good - and they will knock out veggie sausages upon request! Bonus is large, gratis car park. Trust me - other hotels and pubs in the town have limited and rather awkward parking facilities. All good - our third visit, and we would certainly stay again. Top Tip - check out the Fortune House chinese restaurant a couple of minutes stroll away. Always excellent.

Room we were given was the furthest one in the hotel after a long walk found our key card wasn't working . Corridor carpets were stained needed replacing. I marched to reception then the lady saw I was cross and changed our room to near reception we were very happy with it room was lovely warm and comfortable. Breakfast was included and average we were disappointed with the fried eggs as they'd been standing until hardened scrambled eggs weren't the best either ,nice selection of cereals fruits and pastries though.staff were all nice hotel has large carpark and easy to enter unlike some Carmarthen hotels . Very convenient for wetherspoons, lyric theatre and a cosy pub called the stag and pheasant.

The central position is great. Although the decor is a little old-fashioned, our room was perfectly adequate with plenty of space, it was nice and warm, clean, comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Friendly and helpful staff, Bedroom was clean and very large. Single and huge double with large ensuite, nice hotel overall and easy to find. Nice bar, comfortable seating area choices, only us in the bar in the late evening so not crowded at all. Good choice of self service breakfasts available.

The accommodation was superb. Beautiful bathroom and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We dined at the hotel each night and found the menu varied and the food excellent. Also, the breakfast was fabulous with plenty of choice. An excellent location for exploring West Wales and Carmarthen is a lovely old town - and good for shopping. We have been before and will happily come again. Good lift access which was a blessing as my partner and I were both on sticks, following minor accidents.
