Modern place on a main street, but not real near the ocean. Nice place to spend a night, We were there Sunday night and the restaurant was closed, but there was reasonable food about a third of a mile away (also an ALDIs). Bakery for breakfast located across the street. The hotel’s parking lot was convenient, but if the hotel was closed probably somewhat limited.

When I arrived, there was no heating on in the room and it was quite chilly. I had a word with reception and it was soon resolved. Someone came to the rescue! Comfortable, quiet and pleasant all night. Very friendly and helpful at the Thomas Arms. I will be returning when on my regular visits to Llanelli. Thanks.

Staff are very friendly, helpful and pleasant. This hotel is convenient for my work as I live 50 miles away from my studios and travelling can be difficult in bad weather. I will be using every time I stay in Llanelli. Cannot fault.

I booked during a stressful moment and when we arrived was told the booking was for the following week but the manager so kindly changed it to there and then. We stayed here twice within a few weeks and the first booking we had a charming original room. The second booking we had a smaller room, adequate, but not as charming. Still, a good sleep was had. Great staff, a busy venue for events and the restaurant and pub. Very walkable to shops at town centre.

Overall the room was clean and tidy, although very warm. Friendly staff but limited, the evening was adequate, but no one on hand for breakfast 😕. We were told 8am, waited until 8.25 and no one opened up. We left as we had a funeral in the morning so picked up a sauage roll. The outside area for a cigerette was very untidy, no ashtrays, cigerette buts everywhere 😒

My stay at the Thomas Arms was far from satisfactory given the unclean state of the entire hotel including stains to most of the hotel’s carpets together with road noise from the main thoroughfare right outside the room window. Thought that the team at the hotel were very disinterested in the job and certainly not going the extra mile towards their guests. The hotel is tired and worn out. Located on the edge of the town centre with easy access to restaurants bars and shopping together with public transport this would be a convenient place to stay. Could be so much better with very little effort.

Average at best - sadly in Llanelli!
The Thomas Arms is worn and in time for a good freshening up. The restaurant was fine, but the area around the hotel, and all of downtown Llanelli is not pretty, full of vagrants. We decided not to go out at night, walking around, we didn't feel safe. That's not the hotels fault, but unless you are happy locked into a mediocre pub/hotel, go some where else.
