Great location

The location is really lovely and has a nice outside eating area. Our room, although nice, was very small and there was no lift, which was difficult with the number of bags we had. We had a small bar snack of olives, which were ok at £5…..and bread with Balsamico and olive oil which was disappointing, as it was two small pieces of bread with very little olive oil with the balsamico…..which for £6 for the bread was excessive. Despite that negative comment the hotel itself is very special, for its location and history.

Lovely hotel unfortunately we stayed on the hottest day of the year so the room was very hot. The hotel is lovely and air conditioned but the rooms outside aren't but they did provide a fan. All staff were really nice and friendly and the breakfast was lovely. We would definately return of in the area.

Awful service, freezing room, uncomfortable bed

When we arrived we were greeted by a man sitting on the sofa. He told us we could check in but didn't guide us and remained seated. I went to the terminal and because I had checked in online it told us to speak to someone on the front desk so we went back to the sofa. We were then taken to our room. On making a coffee we found two broken/ used coffee pods. We didn't see this as a problem until I used an out of date oat milk from 2024 and another from April 25. We took them down to the front desk in the envelope given to us on check in. The man on reception said he'd get it sorted. On our return to the room 40 minutes or so later this hadn't been done. My husband went back down again and he was given the coffee pods but not the milk. He rang the room an hour later saying he'd bring some up shortly but someone had to go out and get some oat milk (this was delivered in a grey milk jug). We went down for dinner. We had a lovely dinner. We decided we'd get a drink or two in the bar afterwards. So we asked the server if we could order small plated at the bag. He said he'd check and when he came back he said 'through gritted teeth they said you can order until 9pm'. Following this awful exchange we also heard an employee talking about us at the bar, complaining about us being there. We spoke to management after our stay and they offered 'to take care of us' if we returned but in my opinion this solution is not acceptable. We wont back.

Lovely property but very awkward check out

Lovely property with plenty on site parking. Great location in town. Customer service systems for pre-check in and check in are great, but the little bits of human interaction especially at check out felt impersonal (at best), incongruent with the rest of the experience.

Review of The Priory Hotel, Caerleon This was my third stay at The Priory Hotel, and it continues to be exceptional. The combination of historic charm and modern comfort makes it a standout choice in Caerleon. The rooms are simply amazing—beautifully designed, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The beds are plush, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect retreat. Every detail, from the furnishings to the thoughtful amenities, enhances the experience. The service is outstanding. The staff are welcoming, professional, and attentive, always making sure guests feel well taken care of. Whether checking in, dining, or asking for assistance, the hospitality is top-notch. The hotel’s ambience is both elegant and cozy, with a perfect balance of history and luxury. The recent refurbishment has made it even more inviting, enhancing the overall experience. For the quality offered, it provides great value. A few small extras, such as complimentary refreshments in the rooms, could enhance the stay even further. Having stayed three times, I can confidently say this is my go-to place in Caerleon. Whether for a relaxing getaway or a business trip, The Priory is a perfect choice. Looking forward to my next visit!

£300 pre-authorisation charge???

Travellers should be aware!!!!! This hotel pre-charges your card for £300.00 + room cost, this they claim is for if you cause damage to the room????? I have stayed in 100s of hotels and never had the hotel pre-charge for such a large amount, normally you get pre-charged around £50.00 for food charge if you want this added to your room. When questioned the manager about the large amount being pre-charged I was informed that this was because they had suffered room damage from clients, for example TV's being ripped off the wall and £300 was the normal pre-charge for hotels??? Not sure the type of clients they normally have staying, but clearly not the type of quest that I normally come across in my business trips around the country. So beware, if you stay here the pre-authorisation is extortionate, the hotel is ok, the food was good, the room is no more than fair.

The priory is a 12th century building, it has a beautiful architectural style with character and charm, set in a beautiful grounds within a short walk of the ancient Roman amphitheatre, and the Roman legion museum which are free to visit. As for the staff, they make it, friendly, helpful, a warm cheeky charm and a welcoming demeanour. We loved our 3 night stay.
