Boars Head Hotel  

Unpretention, nice old fashioned, comfortable hotel, ideally situation for viewing Carmarthen, its friendly staff and its history as the oldest hostelry in town

Front bedrooms can be noisy since overlooking a main street

the stay was very good and we had requested weekend parking as reason for booking.howerver the Boss was not happy but agreed to the situation reluctantly. as we had to leave before breakfast they provided sandwhiches. they do not check their dates on milk/cream in bedrooms as they were out of date and off. the shower bracket in room 10 was broken,but our second booking on 02/01/2012 on return was much better. would use them again and recommend

It is very homey and tradtional. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Like a bed and breakfast in the us. It is a place where families gather for darts, merry-making and singing. Very Welsh. Not upscale but clean and picturesque. On the main street in Carmarthen and central to everything.

The room had obviously been done up as it was much nicer than I was expecting from the pictures!! Staff were very nice and friendly

We stayed for 2 nights to visit family. The hotel is an old characterful building which has been well modernised. The decoration in our room was recent and the bed comfortable - beakfast was good. The staff were friendly. An excellent town-centre location. There is free parking at the rear of the hotel but it can be a bit of a squeeze - best to park-up early to ensure you get a space. We stayed during the week and had a room at the front of the hotel. There was a bit of noise during the evening but it was quiet during the night and we slept well. We were woken in the morning by the street-cleaning cart and a bus pulling up outside - but this is to be expected for a town centre.

Nothing to dislike really. It's not the Ritz but it doesn't pretend to be.

Very convenient, shopping, parking, Quality of the dining was excellent, Room was comfortable, Decor a little tired

Really noisy and not worthy of a 3 star status. Don't plan on sleeping at the boars head hotel.

Leaving

The food. The staff

Coach holiday companies use the large layby outside the hotel to pick up & drop off passengers. Therefore using the hotel the night before we were picked up was perfect.

Location

The staff were more concerned about getting you out of the restaurant than the quality of the food at both breakfast and evening.I Have never had an evening meal with only 2 minutes between starter & main and then had the staff setting up for breakfast when there were still 2 parties of people eating.No napkins or water at breakfast but the best of all is we were given re-warmed chips with our evening meal - we know this because we even got free 'crispy bits' with them!! When we queried car parking spaces we were told that there are 15 rooms but only 10 spaces but in all their literature they boast of 15 rooms and 16 car parking spaces.A Very nice looking hotel but with very shabby service.We will never stay here again.

Location, staff, and accomidation were not bad, just very dated and the food needs attention but you get what you pay for really.

No wifi upstairs, meals not great and heating was sometimes not working.

I stay at the Boars Head whenever I'm in Carmarthen it has memories going back a good few years and hasn't changed much since

Pleasant staff. Close to venue I was working at

Room was immediately above bar so was incredibly loud until late into the first night and even worse on the second night when at 00.30 I had to phone reception and ask what time the music would cease. At no point prior to that night was I warned that there was going to be a live band and a continuing party. The noise from the bar was then replaced by disturbances in the street, then by the street cleaning team.
