Top Cardiff Hotel Reviews

The Mount Rooms

6/10 Okay

"Totally disappointed with how dated the room was. Definitely charging more than they should. The top bunk bed in the family room isn’t safe as the mattress is too tall and there’s risk of kids falling out. There were slugs in the bathroom which my husband had to pick out and the walls and floor were so grubby. We found a toenail on the floor too. The pillows and the bed are very uncomfortable and we didn’t get a good nights sleep the entire three nights we were there. We wish we’d stayed in the premier inn. Paid almost £300 for 3 nights and I have no idea what we paid for as no one came to turn down our bedroom, and we had to seek out hand soap as none was left in the bathroom for us to use. The staff were very lovely and helpful. Won’t be back."

The Parkgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love our stay! Very helpful staff, exceptional room with plenty of room. Very comfortable bed and pillows. We exceptionally enjoyed the dinner at the Sorting Room. Excellent wait staff and delicious food. Our only complaint was the background music was not suitable for fine dining. Better for clubbing!!"

Novotel Cardiff Centre

4/10 Poor

"It was a good location to stay for the monster jam monster truck event with my young son, 20 mins walking distance into the town and a helpful surprise with the play area by reception. The sofa bed was made up on our arrival which was helpful and the room was clean with all the basics we required. However, it was difficult for my son to go to sleep as the corridors were incredibly noisy till gone 10pm the first night - not exactly the hotel’s fault but maybe would be better to have more sound proofing? Or maybe encourage guests to respect others? We were on the 4th floor for reference. It would have been helpful if the receptionist had explained about the requirement to tap your key card inside the elevator to be able to reach your floor - a good security feature but not ideal if you don’t get told upon arrival and other guests tell you they had the same problem. Main reason for the poor review is that I’d contacted the hotel prior to my stay to ask about parking - it sounded safe and secure, and they sent a very warm and friendly email saying they’d do what they can to make our stay a relaxing one. However, my car was broken into and ransacked during my stay of 2 nights. My car alarm had clearly gone off and no none had noticed. I was parked close to reception!! Absolutely ruined our weekend. And when I reported it to reception, clearly shaken up, they couldn’t have cared less. So I presume this is a frequent occurrence."

Village Hotel Cardiff

6/10 Okay

"Unfortunately we had some issues in the restaurant. There was an error and some items were missed from our order. It was eventually resolved but staff were unhelpful and didn’t even offer an apology. The lady on reception was exceptional though. She went out of her way helping us find our way to an event and arranging a late check out so my daughter could swim."
