Hotel di Shaftesbury

Spotlessly clean is my first impression of these apartments, followed by well equipped, neat and concise. We had great views of the river. It was quiet. The windows don't open which I was relieved about because we have a child but there is cooling air con in rooms. We had a 2 bedroom which felt really spacious for the 3 of us. I woukd stay again. We didn't spend much time in Newport as used it as a base.

Stayed here to visit Comic Con Wales 2022. Check in went smoothly, keys picked up from reception. Vending machines at reception and told about nearby Lidl and Asda. On arrival to the room I found the room very hotel. Room was pleasant for the price with a large double bed, desk and wardrobe. En suite bathroom pod which contained toilet, shower, mirror, bathroom shelf and sink. Mentioned at reception I needed a fan that night. Receptionist seemed to be in the process of being trained up by other receptionist. He was quite distant. Had to email reception a few hours later as no fan had been provided and another receptionist brought the fan up. Shared kitchen/TV room very clean with lots of facilities. Building very safe as key fob used around 4 times in the building to get to room. The walls are paper thin and I could hear the room next door's conversation from 7am on the Saturday which was very irritating as I didn't have to be up for my event until later. The room next door were stomping around and slamming doors. Even for the price, I would expect a shower I could get washed properly in. It was difficult as the shower pressure was very low and only a small trickle of water came out. Toiletries provided. Sheets were not changed during my 3 night stay nor were the bins emptied. There was no toilet brush which is basic hygiene. Top shelf of desk had not been cleaned and was very dusty. Apart from that, room very clean. Location excellent for local supermarkets, bingo Hall across the road and only a 5-10 taxi ride from the city centre and train station. A hairdryer was provided. All in all, excellent value for money and low price but a shower that enables proper washing is a basic human right and the very low water pressure needs to be addressed. The rooms and building need air conditioning due to the extreme heat in the summer.

Always a clean hotel Great location Friendly staff and good facilities

Very nice hotel in that region. One of the best I've stayed. Facilities are complete. Only thing that shocked me was parking is not free.

It’s expensive for a room that looks tired. Bed was good. Stains on wall and in bathroom. Cold tap was warm. Watch out for the £20 carpark fee for an overnight stay. Should be free if you’re staying there. Bar food at the Merlin was below average. Spa trea**ents were lovely. Pool was ok. Nice short walks around the complex.

Great room, great staff and great location in the heart of Caerleon. Also has one of the best restaurants in the area. Highly recommend

Excellent location. Spotlessly clean rooms. Certainly a room with a view from floor 14. Fast elevators. All areas clean and tidy. Bed comfortable and big. Staff professional and friendly. Super large TV, plenty of sockets including USB ports. Fab shower/bathroom.

Situated in the countryside outside Newport, just off the bypass. Plenty of parking, I think free. Reasonable amenities for our weekend function, though the Wi-Fi was weak at times and crashed periodically. Respectable food and dining facilities, not top quality, but okay, bearing in mind the discounted price. Decent bar, though the wine wasn't cheap. The beer was. Rather disorganised staff on arrival, they unsure what rooms were ready. They were also reluctant to print airline boarding passes, though did so when emailed to the desk. There were quite a number of radiators on in the hotel, plus a bathroom heated towel rail in my room, making it uncomfortably warm at times - this was May. The bedroom was comfortable enough, if a bit battered in places, plus the toilet leaked water into the bowl continually. There was no soap, only liquid dispensers. Could best be described as cheap and functional (largely).
