Top Cardiff Bay Hotel Reviews

The Angel Hotel

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, right across from Cardiff Castle and close to restaurants and shops. Train station is a few blocks away. An older, grand hotel but well maintained with comfy beds and clean rooms. Great breakfast options in the morning. Would stay here again."

The Parkgate Hotel

The Parkgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful property that we thoroughly enjoyed during our three-day stay. The location is ideal—right in the center of town and within easy walking distance of most major attractions and many excellent restaurants. The staff were exceptionally accommodating and made us feel very welcome. We had rented a car while visiting the UK to explore Wales, and because there was no convenient place directly in front of the hotel to unload our luggage, the staff graciously came across the street to help carry our bags to our room. Aside from this minor inconvenience, our stay was outstanding. This is a wonderful place to stay, and we would not hesitate to return."

Novotel Cardiff Centre

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."

Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel By Belvilla

Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel By Belvilla

6/10 Okay

"For the price we paid, this hotel was seriously lacking. The bathroom had a damaged door, no shower curtain and no mirror light even. Talking of light, there were no side lamps by the bed which we found very odd. The bathroom light didnt even work. The lift felt like you were risking an entrapment every time you ventured in. Would not recommend and would not book again."
