This is a shabby, residential hotel in need of a major overhaul (this may be happening in  the front part of the building). My room had many broken and nonworking items which I asked the maintenance man to come look at. He chose not to come. The hotel carries the name Old Victoria as well as Box Hotel (confusing). Do not go to this hotel despite the price! Not recommended! (Does not match the Booking.com description).

A Down and Out Hotel

Loads of Romanian girls offering their services to men.
Men coming and going all the time to see prostitutes
Should be shut down.
Even the staff seem to ignore what is going on.
I've seen girls go outside to meet punters and take them to their room with cleaning staff in the same corridor

Nothing more than a brothel

Don't go there. I cannot understand why there is one great review and all others are terrible.
Name changed to Box hotel but every bedroom door still has Victoria hotel on it along with the door number. I have never stayed in such a dump and for almost £100 it was daylight robbery. I have reviewed the Box hotel separately.

Same hotel different name Not any better

To anyone thinking of booking this hotel,last week the Gwent police took the Victoria hotel to court regarding prostitution and anti social behaviour on the premises.The hotel has now been secured by the authorities and closed down for 3 months.
Anyone entering faces prosecution.

Police closure order

Worse hotel ever.  They allow druggies in.  Loud music, swearing and 4 men in next door room trying to force our door open 5 times at 4.20am in morning meant no sleep.  Avoid might cost bit more stay weatherspoons instead.

Worse hotel ever

I came hear nearly a year ago. I wish I had remembered the name of the lady I dealt with. I am from Newport but live in Bristol for studies. They accommodated my electric wheelchair (I can use crutches short distance) They could not have been better considering my disability. For the money, the rooms are amazing. I was staying due to a test early the next day.  When I have to return to Newport I will be booking here. The staff made the experience 5* for me. I still feel bad that I forget the name of the lovely lady who looked after me. Wonderful place to stay.  The staff were wonderfull.

Lovely staff and lovely for the price

What can I say. Stay away it was a non starter from the get go.Room was damp smelling,smoke alarm hanging from ceiling,night light hanging out of socket. Asked for air freshener,sprayed room and went out. Returned 2hours later smell had returned. My husband spoke with OWNER. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. Told is to take back his £40 and go see if he could find anywhere to check in at this time of night. Manager found us another room. Got to sleep around 4AM. Other guests? Shouting,swearing,fighting. Showered and out the door by 8AM. Booking.com you should remove this dated flea pit from your site. I would advise anyone thinking of staying here. Run.

Dont stay here. Terrible. Photos are misleading. Dirty. Unclean. Dusty. Heating is broke. Smells. Toilets are stained. Walls are all marked. The tray were my cup was in my room was stained underneath. The teabag was old and damp.

Terrible

I slept in a cupboard.

The cupboard had holes in the wall; a square missing from the carpet; a broken bed side table; a shelf made out of plywood with random objects on top; a shared bathroom so disgusting I'm not showering until I get home (see hairy soap photo).

If there was room on the floor for me to sleep I would have done, it had more padding than the bed. 

I put all my belongings in my car because they were more secure in there than in the cupboard.

The communal area is probably one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in a hotel.

The staff were as unprofessional as I've ever experienced.

The exterior looks very nice, alongside the photos posted online. The cowboys that run the hotel have clearly put a lot of thought into how to con people into staying. Bravo. 



You're better than this. Don't stay here. 

Room was very basic, shared bathroom, but then it was cheap so you have to be realistic!!  I needed a room in newport for a month and to show willing I paid upfront so the staff weren't worried about me "doing a runner" in the night, as it turned out, I only needed to sleep at the property for approx 14 nights out of the entire 4 weeks....  so the week before i was due to leave I contacted the manager 'Mahmood' to let him know what date I was leaving and would like my deposit, he told me I hadn't given him enough notice?? I didnt ask or expect a refund for the nights I hadnt used the hotel,  but I did expect my £90 deposit back.

Looking at the reviews I'm not the first to have this sort of issue with them, I think the fact that they are the type of people to be underhand for the sake of £90 says it all.

Read other reviews, look at the real photos others have put on TripAdvisor, avoid this place if at all possible!!
