Excellent service and memorable stay
We stayed for 2 nights and from the outset the welcome provided was excellent. The owner and staff were obliging and attentive especially Taylor who was a delight to meet and went out of her way to make sure our stay met with our requirements. Her rush to assist a lady who fell outside of the hotel was exemplary and demonstrated her kindness and thoughtfulness. Excellent tasty breakfast too.

Was charged £130 for room 4 which had a double and a single bed in it even though Hotels.com advertised it as £122. Manager said it was Hotels.com fault. Advertised as if it has parking - booked a parking spot for the night - only to arrive at the hotel to be told to park on the street outside the hotel. I wouldn’t have booked the hotel if I had known it had no car park. Very tired room with wallpaper coming away from the walls in part of the room. Breakfast was passable but nothing special. The staff were friendly enough.

Friendly staff. Quiet little town and the hotel is right in the centre. Room was good. Food in the restaurant is first class - lovely Full English breakfast and delicious Indian/Nepalese food in the evening. I'll definitely go again.

Property was well-located and suitable but for the price, you're better off at the higher-starred properties nearby. Does not seem like good value for the area - the check-in happens at a pub and the rooms are quite basic.

Lovely stay at the Kings Head, Abergavenny, lovely friendly staff, comfortable and clean rooms, very quiet only downside was the parking as they shut off the street between 8 am and 4pm, plenty of car parks close by though.

Great place and value for money.
Very enjoyable stay at an old building which has been carefully modernised apart from the bar's stone floor which is. probably, not allowed to be changed. Excellent staff and breakfast.

Ideal location
chosen as was within walking distance to the hospital. Nice stay, pleasant staff and good food. Could park outside at night and at hospital during the day. Abergavenny town is such a lovely area to visit.

WHY SO EXPENSIVE?!?!?
90 quid for a narrow single bed and a tiny shower room in a cupboard on a high street in South Wales is pushing it if you ask me. I booked it out of desperation but l have stayed in many way way nicer places on many occasions for a little over half that price. Why so expensive?!?!

Average Stay
This was an unexpected stop for us. The hotel was basic. Cleanliness and comfort were average. The room was small. We did not eat there. Parking was easy. If I were to return to Abergavenny, I would try a different hotel.
