Hotels in Aberdare

Cynon-town hotels — Victoria Square base, not a Pontypridd Taff room.

Aberdare hotels sit toward the high street, station and park — useful if you are mixing the market with a valley day. Confirm parking; Saturday fills the square. Pontypridd rooms are a different product on the same taxi table.
