Best Hotels near New Life Christian Church NLCC, Abercarn

Booked in 30th Aug - 2 Sept 22. (Room 226) On arrival was met by young man who was brilliant, explained everything and had a good laugh. The rest of the staff were of the same ilk, friendly and very helpful. Went into the room and first impressions were ok. The bed is a standard double. not good when you have a bed hogging wife. The sheets were clean and fresh and although small the bed was comfortable. They could do with putting plug sockets on both sides of the bed. Its a small bed so wouldn't need too much cabling. The bath is ok if you are a size 0, however, any larger, forget it. I couldn't get my lardy **** into it. But on the plus side, it was clean and tidy. Issues with the bathroom, Went I went for a tinkle in the middle of the night, I burnt my retinas out because the lights are super bright, not what you need at 0200hrs. maybe a night light or mirror light could be installed. A little more attention to the carpets would have been nice, found some shirt buttons that had been missed (previous occupant must have got lucky) because they were in different areas of the room. Breakfast, We went twice, first day at 0900hrs, it was ok, little on the cold side, went again on last day at 0800hrs and it was perfect. Tasty and hot. My biggest issue is the heat. the room was a sauna, I must have lost at least a stone. the fan given in the room is as much use as a chocolate fire guard. I hardly slept the three nights we were there as it was way too hot. even, the wife (who practically sits on a radiator) struggled. Wasn't the best hotel I've stayed in, but certainly not the worst . Over all 7.5/10

Stopped here a couple of weeks ago when road-tripping with a friend visiting from the US...oh...and my Husky/Malamute! I had been driving for over four hours and in was in agony due to various ailments with which I suffer so I had no choice but to stop in Newport on the way to Bath. We tried Travelodge who were fully booked so they suggested the Ibis! Boy...were we blessed. I walked into the hotel feeling almost crippled and asked for a room - they were full. When Kelly and Kiera could see how much pain i was in when asking for an alternative hotel recommendation they said...'We'll give you a room. We can see you're in pain.' The hotel has to reserve two rooms in case of emergency room changes; as it was midnight, they used their judgement to let the room go and allow us to stay. I have never been so grateful for the kindness shown by complete strangers. Kelly and Kiera are not just any old hotel staff; they're absolute angels sent for above. You saved my life!!! Seriously!!!

When first checking in, as much as the woman on reception was lovely, for some reason I was told because I was from around the area that I had to speak with the manager and potentially wouldn't of been able to stay because it. I was not informed this would be an issue on the booking.com site nor was I told about a £100 deposit? I had come down for the night due to work going on at my house and wanted a break. I understood but felt like it was a criminal matter to of booked? I also have not received my deposit back like promised? A shame as it was a lovely designed apartment, not enough towels and a shame you cant open the windows but it was a convenient location for myself, and still impressed with the bathroom and bed.

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.
