Newport Vacation Packages

The place had a lot of potential, it just felt neglected and unloved. They had gone to a lot of effort to supply breakfast items in the shared kitchen and it was obviously visited each day by a host as it was tidied and rubbish cleared but some cupboards had random packets and crumbs,the salt and pepper pots were dirty and sticky. It just needs a bit deeper clean and there was piles of rubbish just outside the kitchen. The room was also a bit tired. Beds were comfy and there was tea, coffee, kettle and fridge but the wardrobe door was blocked from opening by a wonky cupboard door and the inside was really dusty. Good shower and plenty of hot water. The outside is awful -we felt intimidated turning up on the first evening. The front door and windows were filthy and had old faded paper signs with check-in instructions...this could so easily be cleaned up and made inviting. Overall it was ok but with a little attention to detail could be so much better.

Breakfast was lovely.

Our room was spotless, and I enjoyed the setting, but I was very disappointed when I wanted to use the pool and was asked to pay an extra £10 per person. How can a hotel guest be expected to pay to use the hotel's own pool? I have stayed in many hotels—in Scotland, Venice, Germany, Spain—and this is the first time I have ever experienced something like this. I found it to be in very poor taste and disrespectful to the guest!.On top of that, as a guest, you have to pay 24 pounds a day... I hope that in the future they don't start charging extra for taking a shower in your room.

Excellent hotel and great location. Quiet and comfortable rooms. Really enjoyed the breakfast and the staff service was excellent. This is a great hotel!

ideal for the Cardiff parkrun, Sophia Gardens and rugby - plus the railway station
