Future Inns Cardiff Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service, well maintained rooms"

Celtic Manor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and facilities, the staff are very welcoming and accommodating without a snobby mindset. However, the parking charges were a bit of a surprise on arrival, although this can be got around by parking at the golf academy carpark (free) with a courtesy minibus ride back to the hotel itself. The rooms are perfectly fine, but a bit tired for a 5* hotel. We would be very happy to make a return visit anytime!"

Ramada by Wyndham Bristol West

8/10 Good

"They were short staffed but the lady in reception was lovely, really helpful. She seemed to be doing about 4 people’s jobs. She remained calm and professional whilst moving between roles. She definitely earned her pay!!! The carpet was worn in places, but the staff did a sterling job."

The Coal Exchange Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely — here’s a polished hotel room review you can post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The bed was very comfortable, and everything I needed was provided. The room had a lovely atmosphere and was perfect for relaxing after a long day. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout my stay. The service was excellent, and the overall experience was even better than I expected. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and enjoyable stay. I’m very happy with my experience and would love to stay here again!"
