Belvilla Newport City Centre Hotel - Lifestyle
Very close to station & city centre but surprisingly quiet . Checked in in afternoon then not returning until after midnight was worried if key didn't open outside door wouldn't be able to get in but key was fine. The breakfast very basic but for overall price still cheap if you have to buy breakfast ...
