Top Cardiff Hotel Reviews

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Not modern or posh. A great value hotel very near the centre of the city. It was clean and warm. Nice bar, great breakfast and friendly staff. Stayed there before and will definitely stay there again."

The Manor House At Celtic Manor

10/10 Excellent

"The Manor house was a lovely convenient hotel for an evening at The ICC came back and went to The Cellar bar which was lovely too. Biggest disappointment was getting ready in the evening and standing in a cold shower before getting ready for an evening out or shower in the morning before breakfast, then to be told in the morning when spoke with reception staff the boiler was not working in the evening or morning, some communication about this would have been nice."

Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the location was fantastic. The room was large with nice views if you're on a high floor. The shower is very large and the bedding and towels were all clean. The bed mattress was firm but comfortable, however there could be more pillows A few things that were odd was the way to get in. You have to call a number to enter the hotel, and to access/buy a drink at the reception desk. Thankfully, the call will be answered swiftly. There was a leak in the bathroom of which we were told by staff while in the shower. The double bed is just two single beds pushed together, making it so you could fall down the center easily. Overall, the hotel was very nice, with a good location, views, room size and cleanliness. I didn't like that I had to call someone to be seen at the reception desk. The leak in the bathroom isn't great, but was fixed in the morning, and it can happen to any room. This stay is great for short stays and for travellers running on a budget."

Celtic Manor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The signature rooms are very nice - spacious and with a balcony. Love the lounge and the good breakfast at Steak on Six. Sona was good for dinner, with superbly attentive staff, but it was a little overpriced. Our air con didn’t work and the pool changing rooms could do with a freshen up, but otherwise a very pleasant and relaxing stay."
