Just read a recent review here about the Kings and couldnt agree more. How very sad that this iconic building with the fabulous staff and service should close its doors. We were there again the week before Christmas and attended the Hollywood Nights party. It was fantastic. The decor was glitzy, food fab and with about 200 people there the... More

I am really sad to hear about the closure of this hotel, of my favourite hotels in the UK. One of the few places still offering smoking rooms. Great rooms, staff and breakfast. I hope that it opens again soon and that the staff have their jobs back.

Well sorry everyone, but I came to book my favourite hotel as usual as I was in Newport for my usual working days to find that the website would not allow me to select the days that I required, so unfortunately for me I had to book another. I thought it was most unusual so I made a few enquiries... More

We very much enjoyed our Christmas party at this hotel. We could not fault the food or entertainment lovely atmosphere, staff were friendly and helpful at all times. We stayed the night in a warm comfortable room which was spotlessly clean and quiet! Excellent breakfast selection something for everyone, efficiently served with friendly staff and lovely hot coffee! We would... More

I stayed 1 night for business. The room rate of 39.00 was good and this included a buffet breakfast. Basic single room with shower and no bath. Staff were very efficient and breakfast was a selection of cooked full English, fruits, cereals and yoghurts. My room was at the rear and was very quiet. There is a small car park... More

Right, I will tell it as it was. We were working in Newport for three days and wanted three rooms. Looked at one of the well known chains and was quoted £420 without breakfast. (how many guys go to work without a breakfast?). So, it was left to me. I booked the kings and was quoted less than £240 for... More

Unfortunately there are not many choices for hotels in Newport, Wales so we were left with slim pickings when we finally got around to booking our hotel. We ended up at the Kings Hotel since it was in downtown and near the train station - both items we were looking for. The hotel is old and the rooms have been... More

We stayed at the Kings Hotel for one night, the hotel is dated but I liked the character, the hotel room was spacious, clean and airy. The disappointment was the buffet breakfast, the food would have been better if it was cooked to order. The fried eggs were curling under the lights and the bacon was tough, croissants were hard....
