Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday

2/10 Terrible

"Mould in room"

The Coal Exchange Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were all very accommodating and welcoming. Inside of the hotel was very cool and something completely different from any normal hotels. Room was huge and bed was extremely comfortable. Air con wasn’t working at all and the window wouldn’t open properly which was not ideal given the heat but the electric fan meant that the room was a reasonable temperature in the night. There was a huge bath jacuzzi but when we tried to run it the water just ran cold and then so did the shower. Breakfast was good. We got our room through Tesco vouchers and would stay again but if we had paid full price I’d probably question the air con, water temp and the fact that the TV was very temperamental. There is no parking but 24hours in the q park multi story was only £15. Location of the hotel was ideal for enjoying Cardiff bay."

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"So wasn’t told until I checked in and paid in full that the air conditioning was broken, so I spent 2 nights trying to sleep in a furnace as the fan that was provided was useless, the fridge in the room was also broken so the water they put in there was also warm, an awful experience as I was told it had been down since Friday of last week and the hotel made ZERO effort to let guests know as there wouldn’t have been a hope in hell of me staying there if I had known. This hotel clearly only cares about their bottom line as oddly the AC was working fine in the gym and restaurant but not the rooms. Awful experience, one I won’t be repeating"
