Gateway Hotel

Everything was good. Except for the fact that there were only blinds and no curtains on the windows. So when the sun can game up we were up also. Good breakfast and a nice pub right down the street. I would stay again but would ask for a room with curtains

Impressive hotel and didn't expect it Hey all What a suprise this booking turned out to be. I cancelled initially to see if I can get a cheaper hotel, but rebooked for same price(😌🙏thankfully) £80 but worth it. It's in an ideal location of Newport, motorway within a mile away. The two major Welsh cities aren't far off - even Bridgend that I visited prior to checking in, isn't far away. The best thing about the hotel is it is operated by a family of people who care and provide the best customer service - a Pakistani family, so Muslims who book with the breakfast only option, can be rest assured that it is 100% halal. The signing in is easy and Umar makes it very quick and hospitable. There's loads of parking. Rooms are clean and very elegantly designed. Breakfast is delicious the young woman and the the chef provide excellent food and theres great options for breakfast too - thank you so much to you both. I was really impressed with the pear tree at the back outdoors as your directed to your room and the our host allowed us to take some for ourselves - the pears taste really nice by the way 😋 Forgot to mention there's not much to see in the actual city of Newport but shouldn't put you off from booking the hotel as I mentioned the other cities nearby. I'll be back at the hotel when I visit the North of Wales when I'm back soon. Overall the Gateway hotel is a smooth one night or a weekend stay - Thanks so much to the host and his family. Will be coming again in the future.

Upgraded A lot of money has been spent on the hotel so you can safely ignore older reviews about the poor state of the property and furnishings.However the unfinished electrics are a bit concerning and the hotel signage needs improving - very easy to miss it.

A great trip, it was handy to Walk into Newport to catch the tea onto Cardiff for a concert. You can see a major reverb has been done on the property. Lovely and quiet.

My wife and I booked the Gateway just a few days before our stay, as we were attending an event in Cardiff. It turned out to be a very good choice. I'd rang in advance to see about early check-in, which was helpfully accommodated by the staff, and our room was just what we needed for one night. It was comfortable and clean, there was parking outside, and the breakfast the following morning hit the spot too. It was no more than quarter of an hour on foot to Newport train station, all main road and into the centre, and we had no problems walking back after midnight. Don't expect high-class luxury but if you just need a base for your stay before going off elsewhere, you won't go far wrong.
