Lovely property but very awkward check out

Lovely property with plenty on site parking. Great location in town. Customer service systems for pre-check in and check in are great, but the little bits of human interaction especially at check out felt impersonal (at best), incongruent with the rest of the experience.

Review of The Priory Hotel, Caerleon This was my third stay at The Priory Hotel, and it continues to be exceptional. The combination of historic charm and modern comfort makes it a standout choice in Caerleon. The rooms are simply amazing—beautifully designed, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The beds are plush, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect retreat. Every detail, from the furnishings to the thoughtful amenities, enhances the experience. The service is outstanding. The staff are welcoming, professional, and attentive, always making sure guests feel well taken care of. Whether checking in, dining, or asking for assistance, the hospitality is top-notch. The hotel’s ambience is both elegant and cozy, with a perfect balance of history and luxury. The recent refurbishment has made it even more inviting, enhancing the overall experience. For the quality offered, it provides great value. A few small extras, such as complimentary refreshments in the rooms, could enhance the stay even further. Having stayed three times, I can confidently say this is my go-to place in Caerleon. Whether for a relaxing getaway or a business trip, The Priory is a perfect choice. Looking forward to my next visit!

£300 pre-authorisation charge???

Travellers should be aware!!!!! This hotel pre-charges your card for £300.00 + room cost, this they claim is for if you cause damage to the room????? I have stayed in 100s of hotels and never had the hotel pre-charge for such a large amount, normally you get pre-charged around £50.00 for food charge if you want this added to your room. When questioned the manager about the large amount being pre-charged I was informed that this was because they had suffered room damage from clients, for example TV's being ripped off the wall and £300 was the normal pre-charge for hotels??? Not sure the type of clients they normally have staying, but clearly not the type of quest that I normally come across in my business trips around the country. So beware, if you stay here the pre-authorisation is extortionate, the hotel is ok, the food was good, the room is no more than fair.

The priory is a 12th century building, it has a beautiful architectural style with character and charm, set in a beautiful grounds within a short walk of the ancient Roman amphitheatre, and the Roman legion museum which are free to visit. As for the staff, they make it, friendly, helpful, a warm cheeky charm and a welcoming demeanour. We loved our 3 night stay.

Lovely Place Let Down by Poorly Managed Staff

Room and grounds are excellent; staff are sparse on the ground, but friendly enough when engaged. The bar is a complete let down with poorly trained staff and at times it's too busy to for them to effectively handle. The real disappointment though was the restaurant where, despite excellent food (per reputaution) the staff once again spoiled it. Poor training and a lack of adequate siupervision/direction on a very busy saturday night service was a recipe for disaster..... Shame it could/should have been so much better!
