Best Western Pontypool Metro Hotel

Stopped here on my way back from Hay on Wye. Clean and comfortable. Polite and easy check in. McDonald’s etc just nearby. Good value for money.

We usually stay at Prem Inn for our parkrun tourism but as this hotel was opposite a ‘Purple Palace’ we checked the price and found it was significantly cheaper. We were very pleased to find that our room was immaculately clean. Slightly smaller than a typical purple room but very similar in appearance and completely adequate for our 1 night stay. The man on reception was extremely welcoming, check in was quick and simple. There’s a breakfast service (we didn’t use it) and a small ‘bottle bar’ at reception for drinks (again we didn’t use). The Harvester restaurant / pub is just a short walk away and is what you’d expect of that chain and the petrol station next door has an Asda Express shop and a Greggs. All in all we were very pleased and will certainly check if there’s a Best Western next time we’re going away as a cheaper alternative to the purple lot. I would absolutely recommend this hotel.

Clean rooms and easily accessible Great value for money and perfect location
