“Room just OK, but food excellent”

Bistro Prego

May 16, 2008

This is a restaurant with rooms, and the restaurant is the reason to stay there. The rooms are OK, but no more, but perhaps unreasonable to expect much more for the price. There were minor irritations - the hair dryer did not work, but a replacement was found, and one mirror rattled whenever you walked across the floor.

We had a room at the front and were woken before 6 by a machine cleaning the pedestrianised street outside, and irritated by the noise of people using the ATM opposite at odd times. If I stayed here again I would ask for a room at the back.

The restaurant is excellent, both for dinner and breakfast. Dinner is not cheap but well worth it. The menu was long enough to offer choice but short enough to be able to provide quality ingredients well prepared for everything the two of us had over 3 courses. Breakfast was to the same quality, I do not think I have ever had better scrambled eggs, and only had better porridge in Scotland. The sausages were from the butcher next door and good enough to make us shop there before going home.

The restaurant is closed from 3 to 6 pm so you can not arrive between these hours which could be a problem for some.

Giving an overall rating is difficult, as the accomodation would only rate "OK but some problems" whereas the food is "excellent". But this is the accomodation (not the restaurant) section of the site, so only a "Neutral / average" overall.

I stay in Monmouth most weeks on business, and have recently made the change from staying in the Wetherspoons to this hotel, Cafe Prego. The staff are friendly and professional, and always try to accommodate your requirements. The rooms are clean, with new bathrooms - and they are excellent value. But the star is the food - fabulous, but far too tempting for my waistline! All in all it makes staying away for work a pleasure rather than a chore.

“Wonderful Bistro and Hotel”

Bistro Prego

3/3 found this review helpful

Recently myself, husband and mother attended a wedding in Monmouth town so we had to book accommodation for an overnight stay. I came accross the website [--] and we booked two rooms.
The hotel (well maybe more an inn) has eight rooms which most have been refurbished. The rooms had everything you required. They were very clean with new bathrooms and very comfortable beds. A nice touch was a room for residents where you could have a quiet coffee and relax.
We decide to have lunch in the Bistro and we were so glad we did. The Bistro is light and airy with top quality furniture and lovely tableware. Part owner Steven is also Head Chef and he leads a very efficient and friendly team. The menu had a good selection of dishes (also a lunch time specials menu). The food was of the highest quality and cooked to perfection. The wine was so good that we almost forgot we had a wedding to go to!
If you are in Monmouth (a lovely market town) and need a good meal or just an overnight stop give the Prego a go, you will not be disappointed. By the way the breakfast was excellent with the best scrambled eggs I have ever tasted.
