1. Glendale hotel

Penarth

"I loved the location and staff. The rooms were small but well stocked and comfortable. The second room we rented only had a sink -the toilet and shower facilities were in the hallway but it didn’t seem to be much of an issue unless you awake several times a night. A hidden surprise that we found out about by mistake…there is a walking path just outside the hotel entrance “behind the restaurant” (take a left) that leads to a beautiful trail and meanders to the road near the bay."

Top Penarth Hotel Reviews

Celtic Manor Resort

8/10 Good

"Very easy stay with lots of options for food, and great gym/ pool amentities."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

8/10 Good

"Great location, quiet considering next to the train station, and a good facilities. Room was basic but clean and had USB chargers which is a must these days. Breakfast was surprisingly comprehensive, I was only a little disappointed to have filter coffee rather than the machine, which was out of order. Think better than a Travelodge and not quite Premier inn and that's where I'd place this hotel"

Novotel Cardiff Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic weekend away! The management gave us an upgrade for our special weekend. The hotel has a nice atmosphere."
