Castle View Hotel

Stayed here to greet my friends returning from their epic walk along Offa’s Dyke. It was a last minute booking, and they were helpful and booked me in easily, with just a name and phone number required «as it was a late booking».
The room had everything it needed, we actually had a family room, so it had a couple of beds surplus to our requirements. The room was slightly quirky… the whole floor on a slant, so I felt like I was tipped up when lying in bed. The mattress was well worn, you could feel the springs, and it had definite dents where previous occupants had sat on the side of the bed — I felt like I was going to roll out in the night!!!
The bathroom had an equally uneven floor, and the shower was under the eaves, meaning anyone over 5’7″ would struggle to get their head under the water! The shower pressure and temperature were great though.
Breakfast is included in the price. But is disappointingly only served between 8am and 9am — even on a Sunday! Service was hit and miss, we had to ask for bowls for our cereal, and sauces for our cooked breakfast. Tea for hangover-​sufferers should have been a bit more forthcoming too — but I guess that they didn’t appreciate us coming to breakfast at 8.55am!
Overall — did the job for somewhere to stay in Chepstow, great view of the castle, but breakfast hours and old mattress let it down.
Parking is available in the public carpark for the castle opposite. and is free after 5pm Mon-​Sat and all day Sunday.
