Village Hotel Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot. Everything was spot on"

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good

"The car park was £18 per night which for a night I thought expensive The maid Helen was excellent at helping out with directions"

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay first time hear will defo come back."

Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor

8/10 Good

"Check-in was really good, polite and helpful staff. Room was clean, spacious and beds we comfortable. Spa facilities were really good, not too busy and nice changing rooms. Only issue was breakfast, arrived 10am and there was not much left, no bowls, butter, juices, mugs, fresh fruit or pastries. Due to this we tried the cooked breakfast, looked good but my daughters sausage was uncooked in the middle. This was disapointing as she ended up just having beans on toast, not the treat she expected! Hotel all in all is lovely, just need maybe more staff to re stock at breakfast"

Celtic Manor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Class hotel, parking is quite expensive at £25 per night. Staff were amazing, facilities top class including the gym and pool/spa area. Room was well appointed and comfortable. Bed was great. Bathroom was a little tired. Breakfast was ok."

The Coal Exchange Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to Quay and shops and restaurants"

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

8/10 Good

"Great location, quiet considering next to the train station, and a good facilities. Room was basic but clean and had USB chargers which is a must these days. Breakfast was surprisingly comprehensive, I was only a little disappointed to have filter coffee rather than the machine, which was out of order. Think better than a Travelodge and not quite Premier inn and that's where I'd place this hotel"

Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"the hotel is quiet old, but nice and clean... Peoples on reception are very kind and helpfull"
