Park Plaza Cardiff

6/10 Okay

"Very clean hotel but looking a bit tired now, really thinking it needs a bit of a spruce up, upgrade in the rooms. Chipped cabinets, old worn furniture. Quite dated rooms for the park plaza brand. Comfy bed and excellent location so would stay again for this alone, Lovely welcome at check in, asked our plans we said we were dining out and were going to a local food feastival and the guy there gave us two vouchers for complimentary drinks he said “have a drink on us either on the way out or on your way home” which we thought was a lovely touch. Until trying to redeem them at the bar. It does state on the vouchers that the drinks are if you’re dining in the hotel but thought maybe that was an oversight as we’d clearly told the guy at reception our plans. We were planning on having a drink before heading out anyway but it was quite an awkward exchange with the gentleman at the bar who was quite rude and dismissive We were made to feel like we were trying it on/making up what the guy in reception had said. Perhaps reception need some training in this or re wording as there was another couple at the bar under the same impression,"

Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel By Belvilla

2/10 Terrible

"Staff excellent. But room like a greenhouse. Extremely warm. No windows that open and no Aircon. The blackout curtains leaked light around the edges. Sleeping was very difficult due to heat, lack of air, hard pillows and sunlight. Looks like the hotel is in process of being knocked down. The hotel had supplied fan but can not recommend this place."

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely welcome from friendly and helpful staff who were also able to recommend places of interest and best parking options. Room was lovely and spacious, with nice shower gel and lovely bedtime pack which included eye creams and chamomile tea, face cream and pillow spray. Breakfast was lovely with a lot of options."

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Unfortunately we arrived on an extremely hot today to be told the air conditioning was not working and there was a fan in our room. The a/c was expected to be fixed the following day but this did not happen and it was out for the 3 nights we were there. The room was really warm and it made for very uncomfortable sleeping. The hotel offered free parking to compensate but this did not feel proportionate given the impact on the experience. The location was great for the variety of restaurants and shops."

voco St David's Cardiff by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff were helpful, the environment was clean, and the stay was generally peaceful with no disturbances. However, we were disappointed with the swimming pool facilities for families with children. There was no separate pool for kids, and the main pool was 1.3 metres deep. Surprisingly, the hotel had designated this pool for family and children's swimming sessions between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., which did not seem practical or safe. There were also no safety aids available, and no lifeguard Apart from this concern, the amenities were good and met standard expectations."
