On first appearance the room looked nice, at bed time I discovered body fluid stains on the bottom sheet and holes in the duvet cover, we used the top sheet to lie on, the bottom sheet was too small for the mattress, the toilet roll was virtually empty and I had to use tissues out of my bag, breakfast time was a disaster, the continental breakfast was extremely minimal, on the full breakfast only turkey rashers were on the menu, not offering normal standard bacon, i have intolerances and allergies to certain foods, so opted not to have the turkey rashers, my food came nicely presented and the staff are lovely, I cut into my sausage, the texture and colour didn't appear normal to me so I queried what the meat was and discovered it to be chicken which I am allergic to, I asked if anything else on my plate was cooked in the same pan as the sausage and was told that the hash brown was cooked with the sausage. If I'd have eaten these products then I would have been extremely poorly, the menu never stipulated that the sausages were made from chicken and we were never asked if anyone had any allergies. My breakfast was totally ruined. My overall experience is 2 out of 10 and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, the dining area acts also as a storage space as there are kitchen items and a oil filled radiator stored underneath& around a table, also a large linen press. How this establishment got rated as a hotel beggers belief. A partial refund would be most welcome

Very pleasant ☺️

Lovely clean modern room. Lots of clean fresh towels. Nice thick carpets and so no disturbance from below room. Large shower area with good water pressure. Sadly it had no shelf to put shampoo and shower gel whilst in there. Lovely white cotton bedding. The only minus with the room was that it was very warm, i know its i Wales and not noted for warm weather. A fan in the room would be a good addition just in case any more warm days bless Newport. Breakfast was plentiful and the ladies very pleasant too. I had requested ground floor if possible due to my poor mobility, i was emailed a day after booking to say no family room available on ground floor for my date. I asked for a room as near as possible to the stairs as i would manage them albeit slowly. We stayed in room 14 which was at the top of stairs. A really nice place and would definitely stay again.

The brief stay

When we arrived at the Gateway Hotel at 3.30pm the front door was locked, so had to phone the hotel to let us in. The reception was closed, when they said it would be manned from 3pm to 10.30pm. The double room was clean, but no information folder found in room. No fire escape information given. Breakfast was ok, but we did miss the proper pork bacon. On the postive side, we requested a ground floor room, which was given.

Appalling, do not recommend

Paid for a double room and was given a single room, this was no bother as the lady at reception apologised and put me into a double room. Got into my double room and it was filthy, it was late, I had a long day and wanted to crash. Instead I went out for the whole evening until 10pm so I would not have to sit in a filthy room, and on my return I could go to sleep and leave first thing in the morning. I pulled my bed covers back to get in bed and it was covered in blood stains, big patches of blood all over the sheets and duvet. I threw the bedding on the floor and slept in my coat for the night. Absolutely disgusting, never again.

Nobody at the desk when we arrived and hotel locked. Lady serving breakfast cried the entire service. Also breakfast is only 7.00-08.30 which should have been stated on booking because I ended up paying for breakfast I couldn’t have as I was unable to get up on time- 4 breakfasts paid but only 2 taken. Also cleaning lady thought it was appropriate to knock on the door and ask when I was leaving before check out time and demanded my room key. Could do with some lessons on manners and etiquette.
