Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Many guests praised cleanliness and tidy rooms, but there are notable negative reports (stains on the carpet, a foul bathroom odor, and occasional wet floors after shower) that lower this score.
Service
7.8
Service is mixed: several reviews mention friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, while multiple guests report a rude/grumpy receptionist and at least one refusal to change a room, producing variability in guest experience.
Location
9.2
Location is consistently praised for being close to the train station and good for transit; property is quiet and well-suited for a stopover, though a short walk to the city centre is required.
Room Quality
8.6
Rooms are modern, spacious and beds are frequently described as very comfortable; some issues noted include uncomfortable pillows, AC controls that are not intuitive or not controllable at night, and occasional bedding configuration mix-ups.
Amenities
8
Good amenities such as in-room coffee machines, reliable air conditioning (when operable) and useful breakfast; negatives include expensive parking, overpriced vending-machine drinks, and shower-in-bathtub setup causing wet floors for some.
Value for Money
8.9
Many guests comment positively on price-performance and that rooms are worth the money; however extra charges (parking, vending drinks) and intermittent service issues slightly temper the perception.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast is repeatedly highlighted as very good/complete and is a strong point; a few guests noted limited menu availability or missing items on the food menu.
Overall Experience
9
Overall stays are positive for most guests (quiet, comfortable beds, good breakfast, modern rooms) with isolated but impactful negatives (dirty room instance, rude reception) that affect only some stays.

Thank you Tanya
Pros:

Upon arrival at the hotel today, I was warmly welcomed by Tanya. Her exceptional service and positive demeanor made an immediate and favorable impression. Tanya's assistance with the iron and ironing board, while my hands were occupied, was greatly appreciated. She is a valuable asset to Premier Inn, and I commend her exemplary service.

Great Premier Inn
Pros:

Perfect overnight stay. We only needed a bed and shower in a convenient location as attending a wedding nearby. Lovely staff, large spotlessly clean room (it looked recently refurbished) and comfortable beds. Hotel quiet and we weren’t disturbed by road noise despite room being at the front of the hotel. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. It restored my faith in the brand after a disastrous stay at a Premier Inn near Gatwick airport at the beginning of the summer.

Great service
Pros:

Had a bit of a disaster and my booking didn’t go thru properly and I didn’t realise until we got to the hotel. Amy was so helpful, calm and a credit to premier inn. She sorted a room and made up the bed for our little one. Very helpful and welcoming

The best!
Pros:

Very clean and tidy. We visited for comic con and it was a lovely place to rest between travelling as we travelled all the way from Southampton. We especially loved the little gift from Emma P, we've never had anything like that in a premier inn before so that really made our visit! The staff on reception were also friendly! We will be back!

Lovely staff, smelly room and the worst wifi i have ever experienced.
Pros:

Wifi was utterly awful, I couldn't even watch a YouTube video without leaving the device to buffer for twenty minutes. Webpages would need to take minutes to load and my laptop barely even registered a signal. I get that Premier Inn are trying to push their "Ultimate Wifi" however it shouldn't come at the cost of a basic service that every hotel should offer within their room pricing. It was by far the worst wifi I have ever had at any hotel.

The room was comfy enough but smelled really bad of damp. The window had been open before I went in and even after leaving the room for six hours it was still there when I got back.

The staff though, we're lovely. Very personable and welcoming.

Great base for a concert in Cardiff!!
Pros:

What a great base for a weekend or few days away in Cardiff. I don't think we have ever known such friendly staff at a Premier Inn (and we have stayed at a few). Do not be put off by the exterior, possibly looking a little tired. Inside, it is just fine and everything you need it to be. We had Sunday lunch and breakfast at the adjoining Ashbridge Inn and they were good.
The train station is a 20 min walk from the hotel.
The Welsh Transport lay on extra trains for special events in Cardiff, so you can get back to Cwmbran late at night.

Quiet stay
Pros:

Quiet hotel slept well. Stayed here for the oasis gig to avoid silly prices. Train station less than a 5 minute drive away. Room was a little dated but we slept well with no noise which was most important to us.
