Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Kings Arms Hotel is frequently described as a 'quirky' and historic building with character, ideally located just metres from Abergavenny's high street, making it a fantastic base for exploring. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms, with some like room 8 featuring both a bath and shower, and the provided amenities such as tea, coffee, and even a cafetière. Breakfast is consistently praised, with options like a full English or granola with yogurt and red berries proving popular; some guests, however, have mentioned noise issues, particularly in rooms overlooking the courtyard. The nearby car park is convenient and often free.
