Punch House Monmouth

Located in a neat town center location, plenty of parking nearby and easy to locate. Check in is via a nicely furbished the bar, a rundown of fire-drills, and the area is provided. Interesting place with solid beams and a camber to the flooring, rooms are well decorated and furnished, en-suite with bath and shower, tea, coffee and bottled water supplied, full of character such as cast fireplace and sash windows which gave a view of the town square and high street. plenty to see locally, nice quiet area with restaurants, bars, shopping, the caste and museum on the doorstep. The bar is great in the evening with seating outside, locals are laid back and friendly, no agro. The important stuff.. The room has all you'll need particularly for a 3 star? Bed is comfy, rooms are warm and it's quiet enough at night if you're too warm to open the window. If i'm in the area I'll stay here again for sure

This is a pub trying to be a hotel but falling short. The dinner was disgusting utensils brought in a RUSTY bucket!!. Staff didn’t see anything wrong Ok as a pub but that’s it

Nice pub accommodation. There was a band on Saturday night so depending on preferences that might or might not work for others. It was all finished by 11pm and the pub was buzzing. Good atmosphere. Accommodation was good.

Tidy hotel in the middle of Monmouth, no parking on site but plenty of public car parking near by. Basic but good menu well priced, fantastic breakfast for £9.00 extra with coffee or tea included. Tidy comfortable en-suite rooms, brilliant staff, can recommend!

Staff were very friendly and welcomed our furry babies with open arms. Really good value will definitely be back. Food was amazing too so recommend spending the evening in the bar / restaurant. Thanks 👍

Nice front seating area in square, food was good

It was my first try at travelling with my little dog and this is definitely a dog friendly bar/restaurant/hotel. They had recently refurbished the kitchen and were due to refurbish more downstairs. Little signs of wear and tear in the bedroom but I thought it was excellent considering it dates back to the 17th century. I would definitely stay here again

Great value right in the town. Nice rooms. Restaurant food looks good, but they do not serve breakfast. Wetherspoons is opposite though for a great value breakfast. This is our hotel of choice if we need to stay over in Monmouth. Lower rooms can be very noisy on a Saturday with the live music and crowd it attracts, so get a room on the second floor if this would be an issue for you.

Frustrated with our stay here unfortunately. Rooms are newly refurbished and decent enough. Good location if a bit noisy when rooms face the street as with one of our party. No food on offer due to a kitchen revamp I believe. Main issue was returning after the bar had closed to find there was some kind of alarm buzzer sounding in the side hall. Staff all off site so nobody in attendance or any way to alert them. Not a big issue as it couldnt be heard in the rooms but unfortunately it must have triggered an emergency light in my room which was very bright and not far away from the head of the bed. This also couldnt be swtched off and extremely frustratingly there was nobody to contact, no phone number even, to have it turned off. I therefore had a bright light shining down on me all night which needless to say was sleepless. Staff still not returned by the time we left to poont it out either. Very poor indeed!

The check in was efficient and friendly. The building and the room was shabby. The room had not been cleaned properly and the bathroom poor. No breakfast on Sunday morning was a surprise! Reason given was that breakfast was not possible as they had to serve lunch at lunchtime!! We will not stay here again if we can avoid it.

thrid night I have stayed and in a different room, again well equiped, cleamn and comfortable with in keeping decor. Staff always friendly and I managed to have a great breakfast on this occassion

Good value for money, clean, comfortable and well presented room.

Great accomodation very clean room and bathroom . Friendly welcoming bar

Great Inn in the lovely town on Monmouth. My room was great with really comfortable bed. Great shower, fantastic breakfast, and all the staff were super friendly!

Room was clean and spacious. Good bed linen and towels. Would benefit from a couple of comfy chairs. Saturday night - the pub was noisy ( and also the street outside until the small hours) but we knew this from the reviews before we booked. Good location, very central. Weatherspoons a few metres away was fine for breakfast

For: Staff were very helpful at check-in and throughout our stay. The property is generally in good condition. Bathroom small but clean. Room well appointed on arrival. Good breakfast on Saturday. Location in Monmouth is excellent for town centre and close to car park. Against: Maintenance not good. Curtain rail not fixed securely, finials fell off when curtains drawn. Sash window not correctly balanced so difficult to operate. Lound noise from pub tables outside until well past midnight. Room got very hot with window closed because of noise, though oscillating fan provided in the room helped fix that. Toilet roll holder in bathroom loose and wonky. Cheap electric kettle lid faulty and very difficult to open. Room not adequately cleaned; litter and dust build up under and behind desk/ dressing table. Two night stay but room consumables (tea, sugar, biscuits) not replenished for second night. No breakfasts provided on Sundays but no mention of this when booking online. 2 staircases and 4 doors to negotiate to get to top floor - not easy with a suitcase. More door signage is needed to avoid trying cupboard doors instead of unsigned staircase doors, and escape in event of fire does not appear to be clearly indicated with fire regulation illuminated signage. In summary, there appears to be inadequate facilities management.

Nice room, clean, good coffee machine and comfy bed

Easy check in via the oldie wordie pub. Room clean & nice dark curtains so nice n dark. Comfy bed .shower could maybe use an update but clean. Door a little low so if you're over 5 7 tall watch out lols.

Whilst a small room it was well equipped and quiet despite being on the main thoroughfare. Limited choice for breakfast which may not always be the case as they were having some work done at the time of our stay but we were advised of good alternatives nearby.

Extremely large and comfortable room. Staff were lovely and the whole place is very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend the Punch House.

Room was very noisy

Great hotel for the price, right at the top end of the main street. Comfy bed with quality bedding. Lovely pub downstairs, with TV screens. Marked down slightly on comfort, as other guests leaving in the am, going past the door, wake you up, if you'd like a bit of a lie-in.

Warm welcome, cosy room with cool decor bed was comfy, coffee machine welcome in the morning… shower cubicle a tad small for a 6 footer but did the job! Slightly noise first thing with the road sweeper as at front of the property…. Would stay again!!

Generally good but I have to say the mattress was very cheap and old, and not very comfortable, leading to a not great night's sleep.

Good sized room, in good order, Better value that the Kings Head and lovely friendly staff. Will be booking again.

We spent our 1st night in room 7 which was not the room we'd booked. After speaking with Tash, she said that the listing is incorrect on Expedia. The room is due to be refurbished and has a badly cracked basin and an unusable shelf above it. A complimentary drink smoothed the disappointment and we slept well. After spending most of the following day mooching around Monmouth we returned and were offered a change of room to room 4. This is a recently refurbished room to the standard that we were expecting when we booked. We happily changed rooms. I wish we hadn't. At 3am we were woken by what we thought was a very loud extractor fan. This ran until 3.25am. It stopped for 5mins then ran for 15mins, stopped for 5min's and then ran for another 15mins. The more it ran the louder it got. I fell asleep around 4.30am but my wife was awake longer. The staff at the Punch House are great and were as helpful as they could be, but that couldn't make up for the disturbed night in room 4

Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, spacious and stylish room

The staff were extremely helpful. A member of our party became poorly and they dealt with it like true professionals.

Great location, absolutely amazing staff and food!

Lovely characterful place right in the centre of town. Staff were kind and helpful.

Excellent overnight stay. Very central. Lovely, friendly staff

Always great staying at the punch house. Breakfast is great, rooms are comfortable and the service is amazing. Vickie and Natasha can’t do enough for you. We’ll be back!

Can't fault our stay, staff are so welcoming and helpful. Loved the room with all it's old charm. Lively pub atmosphere and a perfect location right in town.

A great little pub stay in a lovely town. Convenient for visiting friends close by. Would stay again.

Perfect location

I am deeply cynical about reviews like this and normally don't respond to requests. But....they have done a fantastic job here. There is dog friendly and dog tolerant and they are in the former. A fantastic genuine welcome for the dogs and ourselves with a lovely room. The room was clean , well appointed and comfortable. The pub did lovely food and was obviously a key point for the locals . For the price , they outshone hotels we have stayed in at 4x the price for the attention to detail.

Always great staying at the punch house. Breakfast is great, rooms are comfortable and the service is amazing. Vickie and Natasha can’t do enough for you. We’ll be back!
