"Great location near the station & perfect for a quick stay for events."

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. We had a bit of a disaster previously and this was a real treat! All the staff went above and beyond to make our stay, the memorable one, that it was! We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family!"

Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very convenient to the town and the room was very spacious. The bed and the pillows were very firm ,not so suitable for a side sleeper. Cleaners don't automatically come every day, you need to scan a QR code to book the cleaners. There was a small fridge in the room which was very convenient. The TV only had terrestrial channels. Staff in the restaurant at breakfast were not friendly at all sadly. Overall, the hotel had a lot of benefits and i would stay again"

voco St David's Cardiff by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall good experience. Air conditioning could have been more powerful but it got the job done. Good food. Very helpful staff. Easy paid parking and good location."

The Coal Exchange Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were a bit sad that Aura wasn't open, we had hoped to have dinner there. Otherwise everything was excellent"

Holiday Inn Express Cardiff Bay by IHG

8/10 Good

"I found the bed linen always felt damp. Dropped a wet towel on bathroom tiles and after picking up there was dirty marks yuk. Not moped properly. The mattress was terrible, soft in most places and dipped in the middle. But..overall, the room was pretty decent. The disabled access was excellent. The staff were very friendly and so very helpful. The breakfast was quite decent. The outside dock view was so relaxing. More tables and chairs outside would be a bonus for bigger parties or families to enjoy the view. Paying £10 per day for parking with limited spaces was disappointing considering the holiday inn is a big hotel and creaming of clients is a low blow. I would highly recommend the hotel though. But be very aware...we booked months in advance, had a potential health crisis looming and tried to cancel via xcover and kept getting diverted to Expedia who gave up contacting the hotel to cancel. Luckily, health issue averted and the booking still active. Luckily for health sake we still went otherwise moneys would be lost. Thanks to the very helpful staff, potentially book again in the future but wary of the issues 🙄"

Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel By Belvilla

10/10 Excellent

"Our place was very quiet and only a 10 minute walk to the town center. Nicely maintained property. We would stay there again!!"
