Everything was good. Except for the fact that there were only blinds and no curtains on the windows. So when the sun can game up we were up also. Good breakfast and a nice pub right down the street. I would stay again but would ask for a room with curtains

My wife and I booked the Gateway just a few days before our stay, as we were attending an event in Cardiff. It turned out to be a very good choice. I'd rang in advance to see about early check-in, which was helpfully accommodated by the staff, and our room was just what we needed for one night. It was comfortable and clean, there was parking outside, and the breakfast the following morning hit the spot too. It was no more than quarter of an hour on foot to Newport train station, all main road and into the centre, and we had no problems walking back after midnight. Don't expect high-class luxury but if you just need a base for your stay before going off elsewhere, you won't go far wrong.

A bit dated but clean!

The main areas are a bit dated but the room was modern, clean and comfortable. It's on a main road so a bit noisy at night. Short walk to the centre where there are restaurants , etc.

Very pleasant ☺️

Lovely clean modern room. Lots of clean fresh towels. Nice thick carpets and so no disturbance from below room. Large shower area with good water pressure. Sadly it had no shelf to put shampoo and shower gel whilst in there. Lovely white cotton bedding. The only minus with the room was that it was very warm, i know its i Wales and not noted for warm weather. A fan in the room would be a good addition just in case any more warm days bless Newport. Breakfast was plentiful and the ladies very pleasant too. I had requested ground floor if possible due to my poor mobility, i was emailed a day after booking to say no family room available on ground floor for my date. I asked for a room as near as possible to the stairs as i would manage them albeit slowly. We stayed in room 14 which was at the top of stairs. A really nice place and would definitely stay again.

Newport Stay

Room was on 3 floor three flights of stairs bit much for a OAP. Cigarette burn in sheet and broken Shower heat attachment mean you need to hold head to wash. Wifi was good and worked well, Breakfast was in different building had to got outside (Could get wet if raining) to other building, Breakfast was OK English or cereal or apples, fruit juices tea or coffee. Reasonably priced with parking. walking distance to town and food.

Basic

Very small but a nicely presented room given the cheap price. The shower was surprisingly strong. There is off road parking but it is limited and someone had to move for me to fit in. We didn’t have breakfast and instead walked to the Wetherspoons as we were leaving Newport on the train anyway.

Hotel rooms have been re done but still I few little bits that just need finishing, no curtains only blinds that let light in from street lights n sun in morning. Could do with a fan just to keep it cooler instead of having to have windows wide open on a main road. We left at 7.30 and had to leave key n card on side of door frame as no key box and no staff around. We would come back, just a few little things to improve.

Ordered a twin room but was put in a double room. Quickly corrected but not an ideal start. The young lady who was serving breakfast was very polite & helpful but wasn't to offer a vegetarian option for the cooked breakfast. Breakfast is great, if you like meat. Stayed here a year ago and service has dropped which is a shame as the room & location was perfect.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
On first appearance the room looked nice, at bed time I discovered body fluid stains on the bottom sheet and holes in the duvet cover, we used the top sheet to lie on, the bottom sheet was too small for the mattress, the toilet roll was virtually empty and I had to use tissues out of my bag, breakfast time was a disaster, the continental breakfast was extremely minimal, on the full breakfast only turkey rashers were on the menu, not offering normal standard bacon, i have intolerances and allergies to certain foods, so opted not to have the turkey rashers, my food came nicely presented and the staff are lovely, I cut into my sausage, the texture and colour didn't appear normal to me so I queried what the meat was and discovered it to be chicken which I am allergic to, I asked if anything else on my plate was cooked in the same pan as the sausage and was told that the hash brown was cooked with the sausage. If I'd have eaten these products then I would have been extremely poorly, the menu never stipulated that the sausages were made from chicken and we were never asked if anyone had any allergies. My breakfast was totally ruined. My overall experience is 2 out of 10 and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, the dining area acts also as a storage space as there are kitchen items and a oil filled radiator stored underneath& around a table, also a large linen press. How this establishment got rated as a hotel beggers belief. A partial refund would be most welcome

Upgraded

A lot of money has been spent on the hotel so you can safely ignore older reviews about the poor state of the property and furnishings.However the unfinished electrics are a bit concerning and the hotel signage needs improving - very easy to miss it.

Nice property that appears to be in the middle of a refurbishment. Reception staff had gone out when I arrived so had to wait to gain access to the property. Room was comfortable with newly fitted carpets, however no air conditioning or fan available, this meant leaving the window open and noise pollution from outside resulted in a disturbed sleep. Large shower in the bathroom with plenty of hot water and good pressure. Breakfast was average and only served until 8:30am.
