If youâre journeying to Aberavon by vehicle, be it car, motorcycle, van, or articulated lorry, your best bet will be to use the M4 motorway, or the A48. Thatâs because there are no other roads leading to Port Talbot that donât involve going over a mountain.

The hotel is immediately on your left.
From Cardiff and East Wales: Get off the M4 at junction 38, onto the A48 towards Port Talbot. Then follow the signs for âAberavon Seafront – Glan Mor Aberafanâ along Harbour Way, the A4241. Then follow signs for âHollywood Park – Parc Hollywoodâ when you see them. Following the set of traffic lights on the A4241 / Afan Way, take the first exit from the roundabout onto Dalton Road. Then take the first exit at the roundabout on Princess Margaret Way. The hotel is immediately on your left.

Jetpack: If you travel to Aberacon by jetpack, we recommend not flying close to the steelworks. It can get very smelly. Also, weâre unsure if the hotel has roof access, so if you land on the hotel roof thereâs a chance youâll be stuck up there forever.
