Hotele z: Breakfast w Torfaen, United Kingdom

We usually stay at Prem Inn for our parkrun tourism but as this hotel was opposite a ‘Purple Palace’ we checked the price and found it was significantly cheaper. We were very pleased to find that our room was immaculately clean. Slightly smaller than a typical purple room but very similar in appearance and completely adequate for our 1 night stay. The man on reception was extremely welcoming, check in was quick and simple. There’s a breakfast service (we didn’t use it) and a small ‘bottle bar’ at reception for drinks (again we didn’t use). The Harvester restaurant / pub is just a short walk away and is what you’d expect of that chain and the petrol station next door has an Asda Express shop and a Greggs. All in all we were very pleased and will certainly check if there’s a Best Western next time we’re going away as a cheaper alternative to the purple lot. I would absolutely recommend this hotel.

I chose to stay at the Parkway Hotel as I was visiting a work site very near by. The hotel is a little ‘retro’ in its appearance but I really liked it! Every staff member I encountered from reception to leisure to the bar were super friendly and efficient. As a solo female traveller feeling safe and comfortable is a priority and I couldn’t fault the hotel for this.  The room was warm, clean, quiet and comfortable. Although perhaps a little dated, it was nice to have leisure facilities on site. Breakfast was perfectly satisfactory with a choice of hot and cold buffet or à la carte - perhaps basic for some but it did the job for me! The only down side for me was that the TV signal in the room was very poor and WiFi coverage throughout the hotel even worse so getting any work done was a bit tricky.  Otherwise I’d happily stay agin.

Quiet area. Parking is limited. Quite dated building. Great customer service at front desk. Helpful. Need some refurbishment. No lift.
