Step back in time to 1986, but add in decent highspeed, highly usable WiFi.
Pros:

Nice big rooom in the top of the hotel. Bath because the shower pressure isn't really there. Little things like decent towels and complimentary shampoo. Internet really good. Actually possible to VPN into work. 24hr receptionist with good security is a bonus. 10 - 15 mins walk from the bus station at Newport. Short walk from the college about 10 mins. Once I got used to it, and I am here for some weeks on assignment for work, I actually rather like it. So I keep coming back!

Cons:

A strong shower would have been nice, but the bath is OK. The natives can be a bit restless as it is not in an "up market" part of town. Warning: There is NO car parking, so you have to take your chances with the local car parks...

Horrible cold and rude reception staff
Cons:

The radiators did not work. The only thing colder than the room was the reception we got checking in. To say rude would be an understatement statement. I will never step foot in that place again

A big disappointment
Pros:

The hotel is in a perfect location in the centre of Newport. It is close to all the shops, the bus station and many pubs and restaurants.

Cons:

The hotel is very dated and the minute we got in the room we knew it would be a big disappointment. Even though it was May the weather was cold and we'd had heavy rain and hail on the journey over and yet the heating was not on in the room and was obviously not working. The bathroom was spacious but the bath looked grubby.
Then, around 9pm a man in the room above started talking loudly and that continued until 3am. Admittedly that's not the hotels fault but that was the final straw and we went back onto booking.com and booked another hotel for our second night.

Dire really.
Pros:

Not a lot unfortunately

Cons:

It was a trip back to the 70’s. No working shower, old and tiered rooms, poor fittings and furniture and not worth the money.

Somewhere to crash on assignment
Pros:

Cons:

Hot water sometimes didn't come out of the tap, and insufficient pressure for a shower.
