About this property

Welcome to Travelodge Newport Central

Travelodge Newport Central offers modest, bright rooms in a straightforward hotel setting, providing guests with basic comfort and limited complimentary Wi-Fi. The property maintains a smoke-free environment and welcomes both families and pets, making it suitable for a range of travelers. Amenities such as paid Wi-Fi and tea-making facilities are available, though guests should note the absence of free parking, a fitness center, or an airport shuttle service.

Conveniently located at 66 Bridge St, Baneswell, the hotel sits just opposite Newport railway station and within easy reach of the town center, making it an accessible base for visitors. Guests frequently mention the location as a key advantage, particularly for rail travelers or those exploring nearby attractions. Check-in begins at 15:00, with check-out at noon, allowing a comfortable timeframe for arrivals and departures.

Nearby points of interest include Cardiff Castle, a Victorian Gothic landmark; the historic Tredegar House; and the imposing 13th-century Caerphilly Castle. These sites appeal to guests interested in sightseeing and cultural recreation, aligning well with the property’s ‘great for visitors’ rating in terms of location and local activities. Public transport connections and proximity to airports such as Cardiff and Bristol also support ease of travel.

Guest reviews reflect a generally positive stay, highlighting clean and quiet rooms along with helpful and friendly staff. While the hotel is recognized as economical and functional rather than luxurious, it meets the expectations of those seeking practical accommodation without extra frills. Some feedback notes the hotel’s refreshingly down-to-earth style but also underscores its role as a convenient place to rest rather than a destination for leisure facilities.

Excellent location just opposite from the train station and close to the town centre. Clean modern room and no noise. Couldn't fault it for the price paid.

Used this as overnight accommodation when visiting Cardiff. Staying here was a lot cheaper for about the same level of comfort, and only a short drive onwards to get where I needed to be. Room was basic, but perfectly well suited as somewhere to rest overnight. Sometimes it pays (literally) to think outside the box and stay a bit further out from where you are headed.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this is a 5 star hotel with my rating, I'm comparing apples to apples, it's a great place to stay if all you need is a place to crash after an event or night out in the fun and "interesting" town of Newport. It's a typical Travelodge, good staff, clean and good value. It's over the road from the railway station, so very convenient access by train. It even has an "interesting" Weatherspoons over the road, great for "stereotype people watching"

This is a budget hotel,but has a brilliant location,with rooms that are clean and tidy with a comfortable bed.Tea making facilities,with a great surplus of makings,all you have to do is ask.If you require a ironing board and iron just ask. The staff are so helpful it's unbelievable,the only member of staff with purple hair,the only one, was so helpful and cheerful in her job, a credit to Travelodge. This is also located in a central location for anything in Newport.
