Llechwen Hall Hotel
Great location, but the budget room (no 3) was small and stuffy, the floor was not stable, I didn't sleep a wink, had to have the window open for fresh air and then the kitchen fans started up and are very noisy. My business partner paid an extra £20 and his room was lovely.

Future Inns Cardiff Bay
First time I’ve never really been impressed with the staff. On arrival they didn’t even acknowledge our presence - both tapping away on their computers - until one finally acknowledged us and said the other one would check us in. After another while, she finally just said “surname”!! No smile, no ...
