    Lovely place, and a great location for car-free hiking

    Not an issue for me personally but there is a lively bar downstairs and you will hear chatter until about midnight so very early/light sleepers might want to bear that in mind.

    I can't speak highly enough of the staff - doing this trip solo I felt really well looked after, respected, amd very safe. I loved the quirkiness and character of the hotel, it felt like a really unique place to stay, and the room and bathroom were exceptional. Great food too - after a day up in the mountains it was great to be able to come back to the hotel and have everything you needed right there.

    I stayed here with my bridal party the night before my wedding and I can’t say enough how generous and accommodating the staff were, which made the morning of the wedding so enjoyable - they opened the premises early to allow our hair and makeup team to arrive and allowed us to use one of their function rooms in the morning to get our hair and makeup done together and to eat breakfast! We also ate here the night before and the food was lovely! Would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone looking for accommodation in the heart of Abergavenny to stay here!

    N/A

    The staff are extremely welcoming and accommodating, very patient and available for anything you need. The breakfast in the morning was amazing, with lots of options and comes very quickly once sat down. Their system to take your order the night before and what time you want the breakfast works very well. I did not have dinner there but if the breakfast is anything to go by I'm sure it is amazing. The bar area is very nice, giving a very cosy and comfortable feel. Locals also like to go to the bar and they have some live music on certain nights. Overall we had a lovely time!

    Everything was ideal. Nothing needs attention.

    The warm welcome! The staff were very friendly, helpful and did everything to make the stay a pleasure. Their help with transport and other advice such as restaurants and shops was most welcome. A personal touch. The bar and evening live music set we sat in on had a lovely atmosphere. It is authentic. The hotel itself is a gem. The modernisation is sympathetic to the historic oak timber structure. Full of character. The food and dining facilities are of a high standard. We enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch. The fish course was delicious, outstanding. Table booking is recommended, it is very popular locally. Breakfast is not to be missed. One of the best I have had in recent times. The location is spot on. The hotel is dog friendly. Popular with locals as a place to meet. The Kings Arms offers extremely good value for money. Much recommended. Just to mention, if taxis is required, be sure to book in advance by phone, particularly on Sundays. The hotel staff were excellent in giving this top tip and supplying details in advance for us.

    It was unclear that there would be a charge of £25 for bringing our dog which in fairness they waived. That would make it £140 for one night at that rate which is very pricey.

    Quiet, spacious and clean room. Great location and lovely pub. The breakfast was really good.

    We changed our room from 2nd floor to 1st floor as the stairs going to the second floor were rather forbidding for two people of almost 80. However the staff were not to know our age when we were allocated the room.

    The food and the service were excellent. The staff were friendly and obliging

    My decision to check in on Boxing Day night meant it was noisy (pub on ground floor, then car alarm and morning street sweeper!) but it is a wonderful hotel with excellent staff in a great location.

    Quirky characterful property. Excellent staff. Sumptuous bed and bedding. Tv and Wi-Fi in room. Kettle and choice of tea and coffee, or hot choc. Staff upgraded me to quieter bedroom on Boxing Day.

    Nothing of note apart from maybe more seating areas within the bar area, which I know would probably prove difficult given the traditional architecture.

    The friendly and helpful staff and the hotel itself had a lot of character with its retained beams and obvious charm.
