Bill from Boston Spa, GB (Mature couple) 10 September 2008

Unfortunate - no it was a bit worse than that! (107276925)

positive comments Pleasant if limited bar area and breakfast area.
negative comments Room appearred damp on arrival but was not bad to sleep in. Shower looked damp and inhygenic (masic had mould growth on it). Shower was cold and stayed cold. On complaining to the desk was told that 'The hotel could not be held responsible for that.' No evening meals (chef ill) so it was a walk into town on a very wet night to eat.

Jill from Sheffield, GB (Solo leisure traveller) 16 April 2008

The proprietor has only just taken over and intends to make quite a lot of changes, but its a very pleasant hotel in an excellent location and has a lot of potential to be excellent. There is a shortage of really nice restaurants in Monmouth so there is some scope there, (97660227)

positive comments Very convenient for evrywhere in Monmouth, friendly and helpful staff. Landlady had only just taken over but she was very nice.

No overall comment. (99026504)

positive comments Friendly staff although a bit rushed off their feet. Relatively cheap accomodation and very well located.
negative comments The whole hotel was dirty and unkept, particularly the rooms which was a shame. Bedroom surfaces were sticky and some had dirt still on,and the bedroom floor did not look as if had been hoovered for a while! Choice of continental breakfast was poor.

For the price, the property was, at best, fair value - the tired, dirty condition however means that I could not recommend this to anyone else. (99678643)

positive comments Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Dbl glazing provided a quiet environment.
negative comments Appaling condition of the room - lumpy bed, mould on the walls, toilet base was cracked (room 12) etc.

The decor in our room was depressing and the bathroom decor also needed attention. I think they may be refurbishing the place? The other people in our group were okay with their room, although we all felt that for the standard of accommodation the cost of each room - without breakfact included - was slightly overpriced. The staff were friendly though. I understand that it's an older building, I just think that some of the rooms need a nice lick of paint and a bit more tlc. (99673433)

positive comments Close to the centre of town.
negative comments The room standard.

negative comments The hotel was smelly. There appeared to be drain problems, the room next to mine appeared to have a problem as the door was left open. The TV was antiquated, no remote, like a prtable with poor channels & then only 4. The tilet had a problem flushing & the coffee making facilities were limited with milk a little past its best.

Being non-smokers, we did not appreciate that the non-smoking part of the hotel was practically non-existent. The room was noicy and in need of repair. However, the staff was kind and the breakfast good. (3304504956)
