Lovely, recently refurbished room with plenty of space, plus two comfortable chairs [you often only get one in a double room!]. Never judge a book by its cover! Our hearts sank as we approached the Marquis along Dumfries Street but once inside it was warm and very welcoming. The staff were helpful and the bar meals good. Easy walking distance from the station.

The location was ideal (we were visiting family in the area), and the hosts were fabulous. Breakfast was delicious—you most certainly won’t leave hungry! We would have loved to stay another night, but we had a full itinerary and had to move on to our next destination.

Simple, clean and comfortable room. The host, Claire, was wonderful - great communication and she went out of her way to help me out during my stay (providing advice on local activities, storing bags, drying some wet clothes). Breakfast was excellent.

The location was convenient and the price was reasonable, which is the reason I had booked. There are places to eat nearby, according to google maps.
Perfectly situated within the Valley and on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the hotel’s location allows easy access to many of the sites of interest in the area.

Aberdare seems a pleasant enough Welsh town with a good number of pubs and eateries and good access to surrounding towns, countryside and Cardiff. Our stay was largely about visiting family and so we did not make intensive use of the available entertainment.

National Trust Big Pit and getting to go down disused coal mine - staff were fabulous, really interesting for all ages and worth a visit. Free
Tower Zip World - hubby and son had a fab 1-1.5 hours on zip line - Approx £50 each. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Bike Park Wales - £47.00 each without equipment hire they do full hire package too - well worth the visit, staff were friendly. Exhausting but fulfilling day spent going down mountain - you learn how unfit you are though as it is physically challenging.
Barry Island - Home of Gavin and Stacey - paid parking but sea front is clean and well served - we went in April so rides etc only open at weekends but beach is clean and sandy. G/F fish and chips from Boofy’s on the sea front - fab ouuu lusss.
Dunraven Pub - Treherbert - fab food and fab service. Catered for my Coeliac hubby which was a true bonus.
Four Waterfalls Walk - amazing views and worth a visit but requires a decent amount of fitness, walk is 7.8 Kms and is tough going at times on uneven surfaces, gravel rocks, tree roots and slippy surfaces - dogs allowed but our Scottish terrier was k******ed by the time we got back, her legs were stumpier than usual. Parking around £5.00

I was born in Aberdare and it was good to visit after many years. As with many valleys towns it looks sad compared to what it used to but still has many things to attract visitors including an excellent market.
It is an ideal position for the Dare Valley Country Park as well as the Brecon Beacons. The town park - just north of the town centre - is a brilliant place where motorcycle racing occurs annually.
If you stay there, try to do the Waterfalls Walk around Ystradfellte and Penderyn.

Very easy walk into town, which is well serviced by a broad range of local shops along with a nearby Tesco superstore with petrol station. Needed an optician (forgot to pack spare contact lenses( and a choice of three within 5 mins walk.

Abedare is ideally suited for exploring.
Abedare is ideally suited for exploring. The local walks are wonderful but also close to everywhere else you might like to explore. Town has everything you might need whilst you are away. Supermarkets, pubs, shops etc.

Dare Park nearby has good walks and Lakes , also nice cafe and food, drive up into the hills for great views and also more walks, try Welsh Rarebit on Lava bread, Abedare has lots of take away food shops, however a lot dont take card, there are cash machines nearby, watch out for speed cameras and also 20MPH restricted zones, Asda food store nearby, before you book hotel , call the reception and make sure it has good wifi signal in the room,
I would 100% recommend The Marquis Inn to everyone, they cater for single people, family, friends and couples. All staff were exceptional and came across friendly, approachable and attentive to all our needs. We stayed in room 4 which was a giant room with all the amenities we wanted. The hotel was super clean and accessible to the National park which was fabulous! Food in the pub was great too !
Had a wonderful time. Breakfast was incredible. The hosts were lovely, helpful and very accommodating. We went to do the penderyn distillery tour which is a short taxi ride away. B and B itself in the centre of Aberdare where we spent two enjoyable evenings, wonderful Italian amd Indian meals and nice selection of pubs with friendly locals. Will be back again.
The cottage is located a few minutes drive from the very center of Aberdare, and close to Tesco for shopping. The fireplace is easy to pop on, and heats up the living room nicely. Street parking was always convenient with space just in front of the door. We were very content staying there, and if ever in Aberdare again, wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
We stayed in Arian cottage, was nice and cosy, underfloor heating upstairs and down, nice log fire, perfect for two people and situated back off the main roads. Easy access to everything around including Aberdare, Cardiff, Penarth. Hosts were very welcoming.
Check in was excellent, really helpful, room was amazing and the bed was comfy and shower was powerful. Breakfast was really good and good choices. The staff were all excellent and friendly. Really recommend the Marquis Hotel. Keep up the great work!!
The hotel is in a beautiful location with fantastic views if you book a front facing room with a balcony. The breakfast is lovely and well worth the money. The lady who runs the hotel will do anything for guests.
This was our second time staying at The Marquis. Super cozy, great food and bar, nice staff! Walking distance from the train station, into the lovely town of Aberdare and of course to Jacs!
In an ideal situation and the lady was lovely! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area. The Italian restaurant close by in Aberdare was great too
The best hotel I've been in, really lovely staff, kind and caring would definitely recommend to anyone. Has a nice view and a little river next to it for a relaxing time
Staying at Dare Valley Hotel was an unexpected pleasure, accommodation was more than adequate and the location and cafe was splendid. We intend to stay there again
Everything needed for a quiet short break, aberdare on your doorstep with an really good market not far to beacons and other places of interest highly recommend
