Great value for money close to all amenities could do with a bit of updating in rooms bed not very comfortable mattress was to soft. Shower curtain was broken didn’t go all the way round but didn’t affect having a shower other than water going everywhere other than that still a great stay for the money paid would definitely use again if I go that way again

Basic (as you would expect of student accommodation), but clean and comfortable and very friendly helpful reception staff. Very thin walls, so don’t do noisy things, or expect others not to. The only issue for me was car parking - the local car park is a building site and staff can’t guarantee it won’t get locked overnight. The alternative is Asda, who can’t guarantee you won’t get fined.. 5-10 minute walk to town, better if you walk up the walk walkway along the River Usk than the dual carriageway Usk Way. Would stay again.

Clean, amenities of kitchen, 24h reception

My stay here worked out really well. Got just what I expected. The accommodation was clean and easy to access. Had access to a kitchen so I could eat in rather than out and had a desk to work from. The only downside was the wifi speed was pretty poor.

Really good stay. Basic hotel but great value for money. It has everything you need for a quick stay over Staff were also very friendly

Due to hot weather it was essential to leave window open, unfortunately room faced onto dual carriageway so was continually noisy preventing a good nights sleep, I am sure a room at the other end facing the river would not have this problem - shame really as otherwise good value

No mini tour ,or explanations on how to use a shower( took a very cold shower ,couldn't wash hair ),or laundry machines ,til I complained ! I was ignored / left outside for about 10 minutes prior my check in !! Jon was a very nice guy & made all good afterwards ! ( 2 very friendly Jon / John ,one helped a lot was Jon w/ a carp tatoo ? ) Very nice kitchen w/ a wonderful view & tv !! Very high security ! Great price ! Very humid inside ! 10 -15 min.walk to the city centere !! Bed was o.k.! Desk & window were dusty !The room was very clean!Very nice kids staying there !! A black ? young man on the ground floor helped me to enter my bld.!A good accomodation to stay for a couple of days w/ a low budget !

Ideal for what we wanted, group of friends travelling from London for a local festival

Room was very clean and comfortable: Check super quick and friendly. Only slight negative was the walls were quite thin and loud snorer next door!

Accomodation was ideally located, perfect for visiting Cardiff. Good location within Newport, close to transport links & local eateries. Accomodation was basic but clean, secure & perfect for a short stay. Definitely value for money, I would use again & recommend to others.

Ideal for COVID world with everyone having separate rooms and bathrooms. Check-in was easy and the secure parking was appreciated.

For Budget accommodation Newport Student Village is the best. I had a relatively spacious single room - ample desk view of town and river Usk. Shower basin and toilet neat clean and spacious enough for any adult whatever size. Access to spacious shared kitchen / living room with fridges, microwave stove - table and chairs and lounge seating and a detailed book on Newport available. So you could bring in your own food and eat in comfort and not in your room. There was TV the in kitchen / living room. Suggest bring an extra blanket or rug. I had this - I do not know if extra blanket would be available if one requested this. Very prompt service when requested light over the desk area be fixed.

Very nice accommodation and very good service

Nice place

The room and facilities were clean and tidy. The one disappointing aspect was the parking. Had to find change to pay for parking and could only pay up till 1:30am . Received a £60 parking fine and when addressed at hotel reception they just shrugged and said there’s nothing they can do. If you provide accommodation surely negotiating adequate parking for your guests is part of the service? So the inexpensive accommodation was not to be. Will not be returning Ibis far better service and free parking!

Very central for shops Lidl 5 minutes walk and kingsway multi story car park 10 minutes and reasonble charge for over night secure parking. Only thing could have done with tv in room but that's me being picky otherwise excellent stay would use again.

Warm well equipped room & spacious well fitted communal kitchen/ lounge Shower lacked effective extraction

Pros: The large double room was clean, and good value. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen was clean and was equipped for basic cooking. Cons: The en-suite bathroom was a wet room which drained slowly leaving the bathroom floor wet for some time. The room faced a very busy dual carriageway and the traffic noise was intrusive. The private car park immediately next to the hall of residence is cheap at £4.50 per day but you need to get up for 06:30 each morning to buy a ticket for the day to avoid a £60.00 penalty.

Clean, modern, good conveniences (kitchenware). Good location for shops (Asda, Lidl). Shower space in the single room was to small for an adult. Soundproofing for windows wasn't very good. Great for the price (<£50)

I stay here a lot and it offers absolutely amazing value. The staff are extremely helpful, the rooms are clean and access to a decent kitchen is a real bonus if you’re working away for extended periods and would prefer to get away from eating out and takeaways. The WIFI is very good as well and if you need shopping there’s a LIDL and an ASDA very close by. A lot has been said about parking but prior to staying here I found it really difficult to get any definitive information about how and where to park for access to the accommodation. So, here’s what I’ve learned about parking at this place :- 1) Parking in Newport itself– This is a cheap option (around £1-£2 for overnight) but this is about a 10 minute walk from the rooms. Fine if you’re fit and don’t have too much luggage. A few of my colleagues use this option. 2) Parking in the car park next to the accommodation. Other reviewers are correct in that this isn’t owned by the campus and so they can’t issue parking permits. So, on the face of it, it’s a “pay and display” car park with no option to pay with a card which isn’t that convenient. HOWEVER, the landowners (whose details you can get from the campus) are very happy to sell you a weekly or monthly parking permit that again works out to be just a couple of pounds/day (and you don’t need to find change every day). I did this and, having emailed the landowner in the morning (and sent them the money electronically), they emailed me the permit the same day.

Great location, near to supermarkets and a £4 taxi ride to the station. Comfortable rooms and good facilities.

It was close to the mall and the bus station. Also close to restaurants with unlimited choices. The shower was too small.

I liked the ease of parking and the secure nature of the accommodation. Reception was 24hr and the room was big and the shower was excellent. A bit like a Premier Inn but less expensive. I will definitely use again.

Liked value for money and overall ambience. Didn’t like road noise which repeatedly woke me up.

Booked for rugby weekend, ideal base for travel into Cardiff

Parking not provided, closest and only option is lay and display next door where the parking metre resets at 0630 every day

This is not a standard hotel. It is safe clean and if you are prepared to share living TV kitchen to make own food or eat out it does the job. Parking a bit tricky but good value

The accommodation was convenient and close to the train station.

Very pleasant experience. Only bad thing which literally ruined my whole trip was I came in to check in at 12pm after a long journey. Was advised to come back at 2pm because they had a busy day and the check ins would be late.

I do not really like being high up and I was on floor 6. I did have a good view of river and surrounds. I was pleased that the technology for opening doors etc. worked. I have had trouble with such things elsewhere. Room was a good size. Clear labels to re-cycling bins in kitchen.

The only positive I can think of is how friendly the receptionist was, and how apologetic she was about the corrupt private parking adjasent to the accommodation. Your parking ticket expires at 1:30am (yes, that at night) and the staff told me that the land owner had been known to be out there at 2am in the morning ticketing cars. The room was poor, old springy mattress, noisy nearby busy roads and the smell of exhaust fumes. Just an awful place to stay, and if you are driving and don't want a £60 fine then choose somewhere else.

Room was surprisingly big for student accommodation. If you’re looking for a 5 star hotel go to a 5 star hotel, but if you’re looking for something that’s cheap and cheerful this is definitely the place for you!
