We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at the Kings Arms Hotel in Abergavenny — what a fantastic base for exploring the area! It’s just a short drive to nearby towns and the Sugarloaf for some bracing countryside walks. The hotel staff were absolutely lovely — warm, welcoming, and couldn’t have been more accommodating. Our room was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, with an ample supply of tea, coffee, bottled water, and even a cafetière with fresh ground coffee — a lovely touch. Breakfast each morning was a real treat: fresh orange juice, granola with yogurt and red berries, followed by poached egg, avocado, and bacon. I opted for the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon — delicious! Toast with a wide selection of jams and a proper pot of tea rounded off the meal perfectly. Everything was cooked to perfection. Although the hotel is centrally located, it was peaceful and quiet, even on Friday and Saturday nights. The room was incredibly comfortable and ready for our arrival, complete with thoughtful touches. We had booked a dog-friendly room, and they had even provided a bed and bowls for Pickles — very much appreciated. The genuine friendliness of the staff made it feel more like staying with friends than being away. I’d highly recommend the Kings Arms Hotel for anyone visiting Abergavenny. We’ll definitely be back!

Nothing.

Breakfast was nice great quality but a bit small. I'm just greedy though.. I had a evening meal and it was spot on.. Service from the staff was the best I have ever had, really friendly and nothing was to much trouble.. Bed was super comfy.

I stayed in a small room which was clean with a comfy bed.. The only thing really was their was no wardrobe and the TV was a cheapo.. Just needed a fitted wardrobe and a decent TV then it would have been perfect.. Nice bathroom and loved the quirky nature of the old building with the wonky floors and ceilings.. I will go back at some point, nice town, nice hotel.

It was good value for money

I was asked at the property to pay a £25 fee for my dog. I refused. This as far as I was concerned was not advertised or at least visible prior to booking. I even contacted the hotel to enquire about my dog and no one mentioned the charge, they just said it was dog friendly. Either make it more visible or don’t charge it. £25 is an unfair charge in my eyes as it is in excess of 25% of the total cost of the hotel. Had it been advertised I would not have booked. I don’t like hidden costs. This is not the first time I have had this problem with booking.com

Absolutely loved this overnight stay. Exceeded my expectation! Staff were great, room was lovely and despite having a downside view you had no disturbances from the bar terrace below. Beds were really comfy and breakfast was amazing. Also love the idea of ordering your breakfast the night before so they can prepare accordingly and avoid food wastage. I also asked for something extra in the morning and this was no problem. We also asked around for restaurant recommendations and a few suggested the hotel restaurant. The food was fab and a mixed vibe of guests with tables nicely spread out for privacy.

Nothing.

Lovely big room, comfy bed, windows that opened, what a bonus! Shower a bit dated

The state of the carpet on the out stairs and landing is disgusting, and probably a trip hazard. It’s an extremely old and lovely building which also doesn’t help. I appreciate that it leads from the outdoors, but the sagging, very dirty and aging carpet lets down an otherwise very pleasant experience.I’m sure it could be smartened up with something cleaner, safer and more weatherproof at a relatively minimal price if costs are an issue.

Very good location and a spacious car park nearby which is free most days. This is a quirky hotel with lots of character. We stayed in room 8 which is spacious and has a bath aswell as a shower. Good value for money weekday rate including a nice breakfast, which you pre-order the day before. Staff were very friendly, and we ate in the restaurant behind reception, with nicely spaced tables.

Nothing we didn't like . We did mention to the staff that the full sized kettle is hard to fill using the bathroom sink . However , that is not a criticism, merely a thing that can easily be swapped and staff did offer a jug of water.

Very old pub hotel in which we had a wonderful quirky room up in the eaves. Location was perfect for our needs and was very quiet overnight. Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. Hot weather meant our attic room was very warm. However, the Kings Arms had provided a choice of 3 different coolers so our stay was very comfortable.

We were initially concerned about leaving our car in a public car park. However, this proved not to be an issue as we could see our vehicle from our room.

Wonderful pub with rooms. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Kieran who checked us in and was very helpful. We had a large room with a jacuzzi bath and it felt like real luxury. Large bed with soft cotton sheets. The room and pub is very old and it was fantastic to stay somewhere with such history. It has a lovely outside seating area which feels like part of the town. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful with delicious coffee. Thoroughly recommend

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!

This wonderful old coaching inn is beautifully preserved and maintained. The staff gave us a really friendly and welcoming greeting before showing us to our room on the top floor. It was very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for mooching about the pretty town of Abergavenny with its many cafes and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious. All the team members we met were friendly, helpful and full of hospitality. We didn’t want to leave - if only we’d booked another night!
