Hotels near Risca & Pontymister Station

"What an absolute find, a true revelation. Okay, Newport itself may not be the most salubrious of towns, but the Mercure Hotel is in a league of its own. The hotel is situated right in the town centre, very close to the Friars Walk Shopping Centre and it’s undercover 24 hour car park. We parked there for 2 nights, a 5 minute walk to the hotel, and only cost just over £15. The hotel itself, looks a relatively new building from the exterior, it was in fact built in 1966. It has 135 rooms over something like 15 floors. Everything in the hotel is immaculate and spotlessly clean, from the foyer, to the very plush carpeted walk areas and the bedrooms. We stayed on the 5th floor overlooking the terraced bar area on the 3rd floor. The bedroom was very roomy, clean and well appointed. Included was a free safe, ironing board and iron, wall mounted TV, ample wall plugs. The bed was extremely comfortable. As mentioned, the terrace bar on the 3rd floor was a lovely touch, weather permitting, able to enjoy drinks outside. This room also doubled as a dining room and breakfast room. The breakfast choice was plentiful including a cooked breakfast option, which was very tasty. We did not eat in the restaurant, so unable to pass comment. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. We have stayed in many hotels in various parts of the UK and overseas. I have to say, hand on heart, that is one of the most pleasurable hotel stays we have experienced. Thank you Mercure. "

"Stayed in cottage, it was beautiful, clean comfortable, bonus when sun was out had own private garden area"

"Amazing and peaceful"

"We had an overnight stay here which was very convenient for seeing a concert at Utilita Arena in Cardiff. The check in was very fast. The manager was very friendly and helpful by carrying our luggage to our room. The room is clean and comfortable. The full English breakfast was very good and served piping hot. I highly recommend this hotel/pub. "

"nice room and nice shower"

"Last minute booking of accessible room due to having hose in shower (bit if flareup) but awesome and comfortable. No fuss, early check in, secure, private and simply really impressed (for the price i paid!) "

"I booked this place knowing little other than it was close enough to Cardiff for us to stay after the Bruce Springsteen concert. It was very well appointed, with a well equipped kitchen / dining room, spacious wet room, large bedroom and lounge with a sofa bed. And a hot tub in the communal garden area! One point that is not related to the accommodation that I wish I’d known - some of the roads are very narrow and as it’s a very hilly area there are a few hairpin bends which I found difficult to navigate, especially in the dark. Be aware, but don’t let it put you off!"

"The room, premises, staff, and facilities were amazing. Absolutely top notch! The restaurant food was really nice. The only slight negative was that the room was a little too warm with the temperature sensor set to the lowest setting. The spa was brilliant, we used the gym, sauna steamer and pool and all were clean and well looked after. It’s a hell yeah from us!!"

"Recently refurbished property and to a very high standard, great value and nice breakfast."
