5/5
A nice hotel for its price bracket. Spacious and bright room. Great views. Good shower. Nice toiletries. Some lovely staff. Superb WiFi, which in other places can be a real downer. Well cooked breakfast. Very similar breakfast offering to hotels like Premier Inn but definitely better done. A most slight, perhaps unconscious, inclination towards officiousness. Overall a very good hotel if staying in Newport.

Ah I’m so sorry to write this review! ||There were two main things that let this hotel down. Firstly, the bed! It was so so soft, my back was in bits. If you love a soft bed, then you will love this hotel. …

This hotel has got it all for a short city break. The location is excellent. Plenty to do. The hotel itself is modern and clean. Our room was lovely. However, the best part of our stay was the friendly, helpful staff. …

Stayed here for a couple of nights as Cardiff prices were sky high for the Billy Joel concert. It wasn't cheap here but it's really easy to find and Newport was nice.  …

Good hotel, right in the heart of the city. I arrived late but check in was very quick. Room was a bit small but well decorated. Good shower with good water pressure.Big negative was the restaurant. As it was late I decided to eat there but the food was neither tasty or fresh. The people waiting tables were really friendly but not the most attentive.

We stayed at the Mercure so that we could go to a gig at Le Pub (less than 10 mins walk away) and not have to drive 100+ miles home afterwards. The check-in was friendly and quick, and our room was clean and comfortable. …

The hotel is very conveniently located in the centre of Newport. There is a good and secure car park ( Friars Gate) a short walk away, most of it through the indoor shopping centre. …
