The Coach & Horses Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super relaxing place to spend time chilling."

Celtic Manor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed for one night as a birthday treat, and we had a lovely stay! The staff were really helpful and always in hand, the food was lovely (great evening meal and breakfast). The spa was great too. There were a couple of niggles; paying for parking, the 6th floor signature lounge was disappointing and could be so much better with better access to the balcony, comfortable seating etc, the shower soaked the bathroom floor, but was easy to clean up with the towels, Rafters restaurant was hot and stuffy. Overall though, it was a relaxing break with everything you would need and so much more. Rooms large and comfortable. I would definitely go back."

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location to the Castle and the city is excellent. We managed to park across the road at the public car park. The hotel is a beautiful building but in need of a bit of updating - however it did not have any impact on our stay. The room was spacious and had all the facilities we needed including an iron and ironing board. The staff were very friendly and attentive."

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"We booked an Executive room and a Standard room for a combined 10 room nights and were very pleased overall. A big positive was being given rooms next to each other, allowing our three children to share the Executive room while we were next door. We had requested this but received no confirmation beforehand, so it was reassuring to see the hotel had taken care of it. Both rooms were spacious, very clean and comfortable. Beds and pillows were excellent, Wi-Fi reliable and air-conditioning effective. Traffic noise was hardly noticeable, although some sound carried from adjoining rooms. Housekeeping was consistently excellent; the cleaning staff were particularly polite and considerate. Surprisingly, there was no shaver socket, so we could not charge our electric toothbrush. The location is superb. We skipped hotel breakfast and enjoyed the excellent choice of nearby cafés and restaurants. Paid parking is directly opposite, with a convenient unloading bay outside. The pool was the highlight: never crowded, ideal for children, with excellent water temperature and quality. The changing rooms could use modernisation, with some missing dispensers and a few showers not getting warm enough. Staff were excellent overall. Our only disappointment was the manager refusing a one-hour late checkout despite the room appearing available. Not an entitlement, but after a substantial stay, some flexibility would have been appreciated. We would definitely return."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful in answering questions and arranged our taxi from the hotel to the airport. Location is very close to train station and walking distance to Cardiff Castle, restaurants, and many other amenities. The room was comfortable and very clean. Bed was good and the air conditioning appreciated."
