A great location and the normal Premier inn standard.
Pros:

Another good stay at this hotel. An ideal location and a very comfy bed. Just starting to show signs that's it need a refresh. The standard of cleaning could be a little better. All of this did not affect our great stay.

Dissapointing
Pros:

Worst premier inn i have ever stayed at.
I stay in premier inns 4 nights a week for about 48 weeks a year and this place is something else.
Checked in at 4.45 pm to find room wasn't ready..once in room found it tired and dated and the batteries for the heating controls were missing..
Booked for evening meal and arrived 10 mins early to be told I would have to wait, pub/restaurant is not open to public or walk ins...never seen this before.. room price was nearly double for 2nd night stay even though room wasn't serviced..food was easier if they said what they had rather than what they didn't have....
Room wasn't overly clean..massive nail in the coffin for premier inn...hello Holiday inns .

Rooms not clean!
Pros:

I booked 4 rooms for a special family get together! Three of the rooms were appalling! Full of mould dust and grime! Lights out, heaters not working and curtains on the floor! This is not acceptable! The Lady on reception was not interested! The smell of damp and dirt was not acceptable! The picture advertised certainly did not represent the rooms!
The location and parking however were very good!

Premier inn was standard but staff were beyond brilliant
Pros:

Ended up in premier in pontypool as I was travelling to abergavenny but the roads were closed because of the storm. I arrived stressed and unhappy but Pippa on the front desk was brilliant. She helped me get everything sorted and completely bolstered my spirits even making me laugh. In the morning I had a nice breakfast and Lynne on the front desk was checking roads for people as they checked out. The premier inn was very standard in terms of comfort. I’ve not had a bad one yet but the staff who I spoke to definitely made the stay exceptional.

Premier inn pontypool Nov 2025
Pros:

I had a great time staying at premier inn pontypool. Beds were extremely comfortable as always with premier inn, I swapped rooms due to TV not working in my first room but Emma on the dask got everything sorted promptly without fuss. Harvester next door isn't included with meal deals for the premier inn. The breakfast at the premier inn was great, I often stay at different ones and breakfast can be hit or miss but the chef Steven at premier inn pontypool serves fantastic breakfasts along with being extremely friendly engaging with guests and even helping other staff members. Great stay overall

Very poor premier inn at Lockyer's quay
Pros:

Very poor experience, mattress was very uncomfortable, stains on the chairs, expensive for the quality of the room. The heater was very loud. We won't be going to this premier Inn ever again.

Disappointing
Pros:

Although the room was up to the normal standard expected from Premier Inn, it was very odorous which is probably why the window was fully open on arrival. Some air freshener may have helped.

The bathroom main light also didn't work, again I'd have expected that to have been reported and repaired from the last clean of the room and before its re-opened to the next guest.
