Hotele niedaleko Newport Magistrates＇ Court, Pillgwenlly

Stayed here to visit Comic Con Wales 2022. Check in went smoothly, keys picked up from reception. Vending machines at reception and told about nearby Lidl and Asda. On arrival to the room I found the room very hotel. Room was pleasant for the price with a large double bed, desk and wardrobe. En suite bathroom pod which contained toilet, shower, mirror, bathroom shelf and sink. Mentioned at reception I needed a fan that night. Receptionist seemed to be in the process of being trained up by other receptionist. He was quite distant. Had to email reception a few hours later as no fan had been provided and another receptionist brought the fan up. Shared kitchen/TV room very clean with lots of facilities. Building very safe as key fob used around 4 times in the building to get to room. The walls are paper thin and I could hear the room next door's conversation from 7am on the Saturday which was very irritating as I didn't have to be up for my event until later. The room next door were stomping around and slamming doors. Even for the price, I would expect a shower I could get washed properly in. It was difficult as the shower pressure was very low and only a small trickle of water came out. Toiletries provided. Sheets were not changed during my 3 night stay nor were the bins emptied. There was no toilet brush which is basic hygiene. Top shelf of desk had not been cleaned and was very dusty. Apart from that, room very clean. Location excellent for local supermarkets, bingo Hall across the road and only a 5-10 taxi ride from the city centre and train station. A hairdryer was provided. All in all, excellent value for money and low price but a shower that enables proper washing is a basic human right and the very low water pressure needs to be addressed. The rooms and building need air conditioning due to the extreme heat in the summer.

Booked in 30th Aug - 2 Sept 22. (Room 226) On arrival was met by young man who was brilliant, explained everything and had a good laugh. The rest of the staff were of the same ilk, friendly and very helpful. Went into the room and first impressions were ok. The bed is a standard double. not good when you have a bed hogging wife. The sheets were clean and fresh and although small the bed was comfortable. They could do with putting plug sockets on both sides of the bed. Its a small bed so wouldn't need too much cabling. The bath is ok if you are a size 0, however, any larger, forget it. I couldn't get my lardy **** into it. But on the plus side, it was clean and tidy. Issues with the bathroom, Went I went for a tinkle in the middle of the night, I burnt my retinas out because the lights are super bright, not what you need at 0200hrs. maybe a night light or mirror light could be installed. A little more attention to the carpets would have been nice, found some shirt buttons that had been missed (previous occupant must have got lucky) because they were in different areas of the room. Breakfast, We went twice, first day at 0900hrs, it was ok, little on the cold side, went again on last day at 0800hrs and it was perfect. Tasty and hot. My biggest issue is the heat. the room was a sauna, I must have lost at least a stone. the fan given in the room is as much use as a chocolate fire guard. I hardly slept the three nights we were there as it was way too hot. even, the wife (who practically sits on a radiator) struggled. Wasn't the best hotel I've stayed in, but certainly not the worst . Over all 7.5/10

Family funeral meant a short notice trip to the Cardiff area, my usual list of hotels was thrown out due to two Coldplay concerts which wiped out accomodation for a significant distance on those dates. Luckily booked a room here - and though aware of the site had not used this as a stopping off point before - indeed had not tried Days Inn sites before. Pleasantly surprised by the facilites which, akin to Travelodge or similar I would say, were very good and perfectly adequate for the one night stop over. Reception staff very welcoming and efficient. Room (Twin) was very clean and well set out, pat on the back to housekeeping staff who had obviously paid attention to detail. Basic refreshments in the room were fine and slightly better than the norm with bottled water available. Temperature over night was comfortable and noise (despite being just off the M4) was fine. Costa and McDonalds plus a couple of other caterers are next door so fine for grabbing light meals. Wifi was fine, but TV signal very poor and most channels not really watchable - so a move to cable or an aerial upgrade needed I would suggest. Would certainly have no worries about booking here again and felt it was good value for money (though the late booking and concert pressure on accomodation in the area had moved the cost up somewhat.....dynamic pricing as with other chains such as Premier Inn etc.)

Trip was booked as I was meeting someone at the mooring of my boat nearby. excellent location, and had opportunity to play tennis an swim, I also took advantage of the beautician having a manicure ready for an interview... im extremely pleased with the stay, room 51 was perfect for my requirements room 47 was lovely for my daughter. I will stay there again.

After a few visits to Cardiff staying in various iffy hotels in the city centre we returned to The Future Inn last night - and have vowed to stay nowhere else from now on!! Firstly it's so easy from J33 M4 and the parking is spacious and FREE - Yes FREE!! Easy check in from an on-line flexible booking, reasonable rate. Friendly staff, large rooms, right temperature, very clean and good facilities (Welsh bottled water, kettle/hot drinks, nice bickies). Very good breakfast - using Welsh Ingredients. Also another plus point - Very easy to get to the city centre (Queen Street), using the shuttle train 4mins, from Cardiff Bay - Queen Street. The station is literally ＜5mins from The Future Inn & runs until midnight - about every 10mins or so. Cheap tickets (book ahead/use railcard) = £4 return for 2 people. Really enjoyed our stay & will be booking another stay later tonight. Well done The Future Inn!!

What a wonderful place! We weren't meant to go here but the restaurant we had booked for our Girls Christmas lunch had closed down. Littlest Foodie found this place and as soon as I checked out the website and saw the Alpine Specials menu and the photos we had to give it a go. We weren't disappointed. As soon as we stepped inside we could have been in a Swiss Chalet. LF & I arrived first so had a hot chocolate & Baileys by the fire whilst we waited for Eldest Foodie. The Fräulein's looking after us were so lovely and the experience was made even better with them being in traditional style Swiss dress. We were able to mix and match between the menus and the food was great. Being a large establishment made up of different smaller rooms on split levels makes it feel so intimate and cosy. So we will be visiting again very soon. Hubby & I will stay over then in one of the cosy looking rooms which are very reasonably priced. Thank you everyone & we all wish you a very Merry Christmas

When first checking in, as much as the woman on reception was lovely, for some reason I was told because I was from around the area that I had to speak with the manager and potentially wouldn't of been able to stay because it. I was not informed this would be an issue on the booking.com site nor was I told about a £100 deposit? I had come down for the night due to work going on at my house and wanted a break. I understood but felt like it was a criminal matter to of booked? I also have not received my deposit back like promised? A shame as it was a lovely designed apartment, not enough towels and a shame you cant open the windows but it was a convenient location for myself, and still impressed with the bathroom and bed.
