Horrible racist staff
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Horrible racist staff. I requested to get my room cleaned after booking and extra night . She said I need to request by 8 am which doesn’t make any sense. Because if I checked out from my old room I would have gotten a clean took for the new booking

I won’t be staying there again. We should have looked into the accommodation a little better before booking.
Pros:

Nothing particular

Cons:

It was like staying at a small service station which we didn’t expect.
Lack of proper bar and food facilities.
Pillows really uncomfortable.

Definitely recommend.
Pros:

Easy to find off the roundabout. Nice big cosy rooms with a comfortable bed. The reception staff were lovely and welcoming. Free games and books to use during our stay. A lovely breakfast which was available early at 7am for our early departure. There's no air con in our room, but a big fan was provided and work brilliantly. The TV had lots of british cannel and Youtube/Netflix which we could log into.

Cons:

The chair bed for my daughter wasnt comfortable. The shower over the bath was slippery. This didnt both us, but we did have to be careful whilst standing in the bath.

Decent room for an overnight stay
Pros:

The hotel was in a very convenient location, with fast food chains a walk away and a fuel station nearby. We booked a family room and a twin bedroom, and requested for these to be near each other. They couldn't fulfill this, as all twin bedrooms are only accessible rooms and have to be on the ground floor. This was fine with us, but we would've preferred if this was outlined clearly. The family room which we booked for 3 people didn't have the duvet/linen and didn't have extra set of towels, so we did have to ask for these downstairs. The receptionist was very lovely and helpful. Also free parking.

Cons:

The room not having an extra duvet and linen, and extra set of towels for the third person in the family room. We were able to ask for these in reception, but would've been nice if these were already in the room.

Pros:

Personnel aimable. Très bon Accueil .
Parking juste à l'entrée de l'hôtel.
La literie est parfaite mais le ménage n'est pas parfait.
Améliorer un peu le petit déjeuner, croissants et pains au chocolat sous plastique.
Pontypool reste vraiment une ville de passage, très triste petite ville qui est très sale, avec les trois quarts des commerçants fermés, vitrines dans un état de délabrement. Pas envie de s'y attarder.
