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

Avoid at all cost
Pros:

Avoid at all cost!
I was first given a room that had not been cleaned. The second room looked like it hadn't been refurbished since the hotel was built. The bathroom had a corner sink that wouldn't be out of place in a Trusthouse Forty hotel and an avocado-coloured bathroom suite. The furniture was falling apart and held together large wood screws.

Wonderful staff thank you! 🤩
Pros:

I have stayed in this hotel many times. I stay with my client who needs an accessible room. The hotel itself is a little tired in places but all just cosmetic.
It is the staff in this hotel who make it so special. Nothing is too much trouble and they all remain consistently cheerful and helpful. Sue, Lyn, Sue and Alison were present during my latest visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I would like to give a special mention to Sue Williams. On our last morning, she was managing the tables at breakfast. The cafe area was full and clients demanding. She was amazing. She had the tables running like clockwork and anticipated all needs and requirements while continuing to smile😊. Thank you Sue and the team. You are wonderful!

We only stayed one night and couldn't fault it. Sue the receptionist was amazing. I've got a broken ankle and without asking she moved me to the ground floor. As there was no lift
All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Rhiannon and the staff are amazing
Pros:

Premier Inn you have some wonderful, warm and friendly super staff willing to go the extra mile Above and beyond. Our visit was for one night prior to a wedding. We arrived at 10-30 in the evening and welcomed so politely. We even had help with a dress that needed to be steamed to get the creases out. The following morning the breakfast was cooked to order and so fresh. I even had a problem with my dicky bow. The lovely Rhiannon was amazing and came to the rescue and my aid to help me look the part. We have stayed at many Premier Inns and have never felt this welcome before. We are already planning on another visit

Pit stop during travel.
Pros:

We have stayed at this Premier Inn before on a trip, so thought we'd stay again. The first time the room was nice and clean, but very hot, so had to have the windows open all night, and being at a busy junction, the road noise was constant.
This time we stayed they had but a fan in the rooms, which was a nice touch This room appeared clean on arrival, but on using the bathroom we noticed several disgusting things that had been missed or skipped (see pictures). One looks like toothpaste on the back of the bathroom door, atleast, I hope it's toothpaste, and the second looks like a poo smear on the doorframe with added pubic hair for effect. Maybe give your cleaning staff a little longer, or have a more thorough check sheet.
Over all, it was a good stay, helpful staff and a pleasant enough breakfast.

Fine for one night.
Pros:

Stayed here for one night on our journey to Devon. Having spent the day with friends in Abergavenny we were very tired so slept well, despite traffic noise from the busy road. We had looked at the premier inn in Abergavenny and it was twice the price of this. The room was fine for what we wanted, the bed comfortable although I do find the beds to be very high, I'm 5ft 3in and can just manage to clamber onto the bed. We didn't have breakfast as wanted to get away early and eat further into our journey. Would definitely stay again. The lady on reception was lovely didn't get her name though.

Great hotel, fantastic breakfast
Pros:

Enjoyed my stay at Premier Inn Pontypool. Such an easy check in experience with knowledge and friendly team. The room although dated was very clean couldn’t have faulted it. Topped with a lush breakfast the following morning, that started my day off right.
