Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Close to town centre . Staff great and breakfast was good. Can't beat it for the price
Couple of touch ups needed but over very clean and the bed was very comfortable.
Bed is comfy
Too near to the road. Too noisy
Quite, I was on the top floor,had a window that opened, breakfast included in price, it wasn't a pub
Nil, considered staying a second night,
Great location, spotlessly clean & lovely breakfast.
There's wasnt anything we didnt like but I think that maybe some may find the road a little loud.
Hotel was clean and tidy modern room and comfortable. Staff very nice
Clean Warm Comfortable Usb ports Large powerful hot shower Private bathroom. Very short walk to a brilliant pub which offers lovely food & drink at very affordable prices..
No bar & only breakfast ( which is included in the price)...
Posizione molto comoda per I miei spostamenti
Il bagno era pulito ma da ristrutturare
Clean rooms recently renovated
Breakfasts were cooked well and nice. Free parking. A fair price.
Building/decorating items in dining room. bedroom carpet needs cleaning, a towel rail would be nice, easier access to staff would be better. Public area outside dirty and does not give a good impression.
Room was well presented and modern looking, clean, quiet, breakfast was great, freshly cooked
Nothing bad, the facilities were clean, everything worked and our experience of the place was good
Great and proactive customer service.
Nothing really. Would recommend.
Great staff, clean and nice room, good location, very good breakfast
The room was small and not at all like their photograph which shows a much larger room with a sofa, the curtains were rather small and did not cover the window properly, but I did not touch them, there were also blinds and they were clean and did cover the window. The room was clean as was the bathroom, the veneer on the bathroom door was flaking off, and the shower floor was badly marked with black stains. The towels were clean and white. There was toiletries provided so that was good. We were asked if we wanted a ground floor room when we arrived so maybe that is why the room was not as the photograph. The hotel seemed to be in the process of repainting and maybe redecorating. The breakfast was excellent with a choice of cereals, and a lovely 3 egg omelette and plenty of toast. There were breakfast drinks to choose from and you could take as much or as little as you wanted. The dining facilities were good but rather spoilt by the clutter of paints there as you walked in.
Better curtains to cover the window properly, the bathroom door should be re-veneered and the shower floor should be removed and another floor put in altogether. The clutter of pants should be removed from the dining room which rather spoilt the pleasant aspect of the room.
Within walking distance of the town, they is an ASDA express very close which is handy. You are not rushed to vacate your room on your departure day.no don't leave until 11 am which worked for me.
Design for the hotel is not visual from one direction of travel and the hotel location is easily missed. Fronts at the front of the hotel are subjecting traffic noise that May be an issue to done
Free parking, free breakfast, good room with fridge and microwave
Road noise was my only complaint (room at the front)
Easy to check in. Good breakfast selection. Clean. Free parking. Accessible room. Pleasant staff.
Room very small. Rough area. Quite noisy. Didn't know how to poach an egg! Mainly a contractors' hotel.
The photos need updating as they have had a complete renovation. It looks absolutely amazing. Still a few things to do as i was told at check-in but it was clean and tidy. There is a petrol station 5 minutes away to get snacks. The staff were realky friendly.
The toilet seat didnt fit. Felt a bit dirty using it with the base touching my legs. The shaving point cover was rusty. Breakfast finished early (7-8.30am). That should be extended. The blinds need replacing and the windows need cleaning.
Room was comfortable & is currently under renovations so will be better in a few weeks, nice breakfast.
Area is a little run down, the property is undergoing renovations, building equipment & boxes left in the restaurant area which doesn't look well, however im sure it will look great in a couple of weeks.
Comfortable and easy to get in
Slightly tired
All good.
Very clean room, great choice of breakfast options, close to Newport Town centre and only 5 minutes from the M4 junction. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great value for money.
This hotel is lovely and pictures on here don't do it justice as the rooms are lovely and recently decorated we also had a fan in our room which was a nice touch as it was very very warm weather. We also had a little fridge in the room which was also a nice addition excellent stay and breakfast was lovely
Bit of noise from the road but not the properties fault as had windows open because it was so warm outside
Gateway has been recently renovated and beautiful inside, not the same as pictures on website, they are are going to upgrade pictures once complete. The breakfast was lovely, the dinning area is so relaxing and comfortable to sit and enjoy breakfast. The bedroom had the essentials, and more had mini fridge and microwave. With still plenty of space in bedroom.
Where it is situation, near rail line and busy road. Very noisy however did leave window open as weather was very warm during our stay. Good point was fan in bedroom.
It was ok and clean as a stop off
Needs finishing as electric cabling is hanging in both units
Good breakfast, room clean good shower.
Doors shut early, had to ring to get in.
Refurbished to good standard, v v close to work & city centre. Nice little room with decent ensuite. I knew the location so wasnt expecting a view. Plenty of parking on site.
Entry was a little long winded, code to call thru to reception to open front door, they then answered or had note on door (back in 10 mins), there was no ley to gain access to building regardless of how many nights you stay but its summer so just sat on wall & waited. In winter it won't be so much fun waiting outside.
It’s neat
No fridge
Nous avons bien dormi avant de reprendre notre chemin vers Londres.
I liked that it was a quiet, clean and easy to locate
There was no air conditioner for hot summer days
Quiet and peaceful Enjoyed the breakfast too
The room was a bit hot, didn’t have a fan.
Shower head kept falling down
Room was nice but wasnt serviced.
Mouldy bread served at breakfast. No lactose free/oat milk.
Room was clean, reception clean
We were not aware that part of the hotel was being used to accommodate people on bail. We were woken up in the early hours by the sound of banging and shouting then a car smashing into another car in the car park the narrowly missing our car. The police were called which was when we discovered the hotel was used for people on bail. Not what we expected at all
Lovely clean room was perfect for our one night stay! We arrived an hour early for check in but they let us in straight to our room which was great after a long journey. Thanks very much!!
Nice clean room and comfy bed!
Every thing
Clean and tidy
No way to cool room down on a very hot night
Great breakfast. Clean tidy rooms. Well equipped. Very pleasant staff.
Location. Noisy, all night (outside).
Nothing
Parking was a issue. The key code was difficult to operate. The room was extremely small and very very hot. The Tv didn’t work until i fiddled with the electrics and the screen was misty.
It had everything i needed plus breakfast was included
The room was compact but was more than sufficient for just me.
Easy check in, parking, breakfast staff, value for money
Small repairs i.e. loose door handle, hanging cables,
Clean and well made room. Breakfast was OK.
I waited 45 minutes to get in to the building. There was a note on the front door saying back in 10 minutes. I was there with another couple who were also waiting.
Had everything we needed and great to have a room on the ground floor, thanks for being so accommodating of us . Fabulous breakfast!!
Location wasn't great very dirty neighbourhood lot's of single males running in and out of buildings ,
Stained bedding , pillow was like a builders block , bathroom dirty , arrived mid day and had to stand around in the rain until someone arrived to open the building , we asked for rooms close to each other as disabled daughter but on different floors even though they said they could accommodate ,
Fresh and clean
Nothing
It's a convenient location. I drove so the availability of parking was a big plus, especially as they were happy for me to leave the car there during the day I checked out We had a pleasant spacious room which was very clean.
Checking in was difficult. I arrived at about 1620 to find the front door locked and a notice saying check in was closed and giving the phone number so I rang and someone came after a few minutes to check me in. They then replaced the notice on the door with one that just said "Back in 10 minutes" and I came back later to find a party waiting outside. I gave them the phone number so they could check in. So I suggest you have a mobile phone with you, with their number in case you have this problem.
Newly decorated and very clean.
Customer service. Mohammed was very professional, welcoming and helpful with booking a taxi for me in the morning
N/A
Location was not good lots of people hanging around the car park smoking. Children running around in grounds during the evening not staying at the hotel. Lady making breakfast was polite but breakfast was very dissapointing.
Tea and coffee facilities in room was not adequate and nobody around to ask to replemish
Good location to walk into Newport plus great base to visit the surrounding area. Plenty of places to eat and drink in Newport.
Frühstückszeitende bereits um 08.30 Uhr
Det var sentralt, god seng. Det var en enkel frokost, men helt grei
Jeg fikk lukket vinduet og det bråkte fra veien siden det lå så sentralt
Room was modern and clean. Ample space . Excellent breakfast
The room didn't have heating, intercom or a comfortable table.
The service and breakfast delivery was a Disaster. The management didn't know the difference between service delivery in South East Asia and modern day Wales. Staff was an old woman who clearly didn't understand what customers want. Breakfast took over 30 minutes to be ready and the menu was miserable.
Clean comfortable room. Great shower. Quiet even though on main road. Good breakfast. Helpful staff.
Very clean property, lovely bathroom
The light outside the bedroom was on all night which made the room very bright. The blinds didn’t keep the light out
Nice breakfast in the morning and parking 👌
Clean, comfortable room. Excellent shower. Good breakfast for the money. Friendly helpful staff.
Can be difficult to park later in the evening.
Room not bad biscuits were a nice touch with the tea & coffee. We sat for breakfast and had to wait over half an hour to be told 5 mins. 3/4 of an hr later took our order. Then received tea & coffee & toast barely done. Felt embarrassed sat waiting without an offer of a drink.
The room is ok and good selections of little refreshment of teas and coffees including selections of biscuits! The staff here is kinda helpful!
The shower is ok but only issue is that the door wouldn't shut properly resulting some floods coming out!
Very friendly staff i would highly recommend
Clean and up to date . Friendly staff.
English breakfast had processed vegan bacon and sausage. I do understand the non pork issue. .but I prefer the real thing.
Very comfortable and clean. Owners pleasant.
Room is nicely decorated and modern, great value
Shower is pretty poor bathroom definitely need some TLC
Breakfast was very good
Had to change room at 10pm due to leak from room above
The place is good value for money. It is easy to find. The place was clean. The breakfast was good.
The property is next to the railway tracks and you can feel the vibrations at night when trains are moving. The toilet seat need to be changed at top floor family room we occupied.
Good location and very close to the city centre
Very clean room
Rooms were clean and tidy. And breakfast was also hot and had enough variety.
I think the pics on booking.com are old, actually the property has been renovated completely and has a very modern look to it, quite opposite to the pictures here.
Nice staff polite , clean , good room space
Good size room. Clean. Powerfully heaters. Very nice staff.
Damaged blinders. Very noisy area. Poor noise insulation. Bed shaking when trucks or buses driving by.
The breakfast arrived quickly, hot and ready to eat. Delicious as always.
The noise at night was a bit much. The hotel has little control over that though.
the room was clean , very well equipped,
still like to have reception staff on site , The lady did come to open up quite quickly , was very nice and polite
Everything was perfect
Helpful at check-in, comfortable room. Good shower
We left something in the room. Phoned the day after check out to see if it had been picked up. Not very helpful, I don't know if the item was found but we never recieved any notification they had. Very unfortunate as it was a decent room for the price at we would otherwise happily of used it when we visit newport
Room had a microwave and fridge
The venition blinds need to be replaced as they were knackered. The room to be unfinished with wires cut and left tied up. Had to wait 15 mins to check in even though I had advised them I would be there at specific time.
Well presented room. Clean and comfortable.
Couldn't find a hairdryer
Clean and comfortable and lovely staff
Very close to a loud road and street light
Very good value for money
Nothing in particular
Breakfast was great staff great location great
Small single room had everthing I needed for a one night stay, close to town center and the Corn Exchange venue.
The room was lovely and clean.
The lady on reception who checked me in and the lady who served my breakfast were Extremely nice and polite. The breakfast was beautiful and my room (number 2) was quiet and comfortable. It also had a mini fridge and a microwave which was an added bonus. I was very happy with my stay.
