posizione comoda
Pros:

la posizione è estremamente centrale e comodissima per raggiungere la stazione, la camera è piccola ma carina, ha tutto il necessario!

Cons:

purtroppo la struttura non ha l’ascensore (come è evidenziato da loro stessi) ma il personale è stato molto gentile da portarmi la valigia grande!

Super lokalizacja.
Pros:

Przemiły pomocny personel.
Śniadania którego w ofercie nie widziałam i to było miłym zaskoczeniem, otrzymaliśmy w cenie, bez dodatkowych opłat. Lokalizacja (ścisła starówka) no po prostu ideał. Zestaw do parzenia kawy i herbaty, żelazko, deska do prasowania, suszarka do włosów, wiatrak który pomógł przetrwać piekielnie upały, a także taki drobiazg, jak stojak pod walizkę. To wszystko było bardzo na plus.

Cons:

Trochę wąskie łóżka i brak szafki po drugiej stronie łóżka (po jednej była). Przydałaby sie tez mini lodówka.

Great location but that is pretty much it.
Pros:

Access to the castle, stadium and main street for bars and restaurants was great. The NCP car park is very close which is good but it is extremely narrow on the up / down ramps.

Cons:

Room was baking hot, the fan provided was pathetic and pretty much pointless. The room was pretty much unchanged from the 1970's. The WIFI (free) did not work, being a bar-central location, it was very noisy into the early hours of the morning. The prices had been ramped up due to the event that we were attending, so £220 for the night, (being more than a night at Celtic Manor Resort the night before) was horrendous!
