Had a two night stay here, all the staff were friendly and polite. We ate in the restaurant one night and had a lovely dinner, and breakfast both days was very nice too. Buffet style help yourself with plenty of options too. The rooms were comfy and clean and the shower was good too. Plenty of parking as well. If we come back to Port Talbot would definitely book again.

I visited Blancos for a friends 40th birthday party and we had a great time. The hotel is easy to find with plenty of free parking. The superior room we had (No 50) was lovely, very large comfy bed, tea an coffee facilities. …

This was our second time at Blanco’s . Location is good , plenty of parking and easy access to the beach and M4 . We were however disappointed with the cleanliness of the room - the bathroom was not cleaned from the previous guests and we were welcomed by a “brown sludge” in the toilet 🤮 , hair around the sink and bath. This was rectified once I reported it to one of the housekeeping staff . She was very apologetical and though she said she was going to report it to her manager , I haven’t heard anything afterwards . The bed was clean but the room had a “musty” smell and the curtains had mold on them . We also found a used towel in the wardrobe so it was obvious the room wasn’t properly cleaned . Thankfully I had sanitising wipes with me so I was able to give it a once over , for my peace of mind . The breakfast was included in the room price and the food was good so no complaints there . One other thing we found a little strange , the housekeeping team would knock and proceed to come straight in the room before you even had time to walk to the door apparently to check if you needed anything 🤷‍♀️, this happened everyday around 5/6 pm so maybe a “do not disturb sign “ would be useful .

My son had his wedding here & the every part of it from decor to food was delicious & plenty of it .Nothing was too much trouble for the staff & we were never made to feel anything was too much trouble.Room was spacious & spotless same with en suite tiny niggle couldn't get tv to work but in the great scheme of things it didn't really matter .Would of given a 5/5 but the cooked breakfast apart from the sausages wasn't the best .scrambled egg was spongy , hash browns were mush , bacon was just about cooked. That said plenty of choice with cereal , juices & Danish pastries on the whole great value for money

I can't comment on the accommodation, because I wasn't staying over.However the hotel is very central for motorway town centre and the local beach.The staff were welcoming, friendly, curteous and polite.The restaurant was well laid out.After ordering, the food was quickly delivered to our table.We were not made to feel hurried in any way (table booked for 12 abd left a 3)A thoroughly enjoyable few hours in lovely surroundings.I will definitely be making a visit again.

Sunday Dinner Review:Despite very busy and full of oldies, the atmosphere is really nice and the service provided by all the staff was top notch, with a shout-out to the manager Chris for making us feel so welcomed and keeping up high standards!Dinner itself was really nice, and even though the kitchen was so busy pumping out orders, it did not seem to falter with the quality.My only complaint is that I did expect a larger portion of pork and some crackling.Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice Sunday Roast at Great Value!
