Novotel Cardiff Centre

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is well located and easy to reach by car and an easy walk into city centre. The car park is a bonus, but very expensive! Our room was fairly sizeable for a group of 3. But the amount of tea and coffee provided needs to be improved. The bathroom, although fairly clean, was dated and in poor repair in some areas. The power of the shower was very poor, but the bath was excellent. Pool was lovely as was the steam room, sauna and jaquzzi, but was crowded at times due to half term holidays. No staff monitoring! In general a good stay, but the parking charges might put me off staying again"

Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG

"Rooms were lovely, staff friendly but restaurant a bit off. The fact you have an entrance and dedicated lift for it but no menu on the ground floor was a bit off. Once you’re up there it’s kind of oh well I guess I’ll eat up here. Back to the rooms very quiet and extremely comfortable"

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely welcome and welshcakes at check in. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Very comfy beds! Balcony overlooking the bay at night was beautiful. Spa was nice. However, we didn’t stay in long as my 13 year wasn’t allowed to use the hydro pools and it got busy very early with little kids leaving no room to swim. I can imagine it’s relaxing if you can use all the facilities within the spa. Breakfast was delicious, lots of choice, fresh food! I do think it’s a little pricey and not sure if I’d pay that much again when there are similar hotels significantly cheaper but it was a birthday treat for my son and we had a nice time!"

The Angel Hotel

"We have stayed 3 nights at the Family Room. The cleaning lady is just very friendly but also keeping the room clean. The hotel is at great location, close to the Cardiff Castle and high street. The choice of breakfast buffet is decent except the coffee. However, it really needs some serious upkeep. The room has dampings, the radiator is not operational in one of the rooms, only one lift is operational during our visit."

The Coal Exchange Hotel

"I had booked two rooms for two nights in this beautiful historic building which is less than a 10 minute walk to the bay. The reception staff and the two ladies overseeing in the dining room when we had breakfast were all lovely and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble with queries and requests. Unfortunately mine and my partner's room could have been cleaner in places i.e. in the bathroom for example the base of the sink tap was filthy which I cleaned along with some other areas. Unfortunately the wet room is stained in places. There was also a patch of stained carpet by the window. One of the cups and one of the glasses had not been washed or not checked thoroughly and also the kettle was dusty. I did not raise this at the hotel as we were overall pleased with our stay but my sister did raise the issue with the window in her bathroom which was resolved very quickly. Hopefully this is not reflective of the hotel as I would not hesitate booking there again but just a thorough check and proper deep clean of our room prior to our arrival would have enabled me to give top marks."
