Top Cardiff Bay Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Our room was very big with a huge bed. The bathroom was a good size with both bath and shower. Everything was very clean. Great central location, 5-10 minute walk to city centre shopping arcades, restaurants and bars. Conveniently there is a multi-storey car park opposite (formerly NCP), where you can get discounted parking with a code from hotel reception. Spa facilities available; pool, and spa treatments, showers and changing rooms. Huge dining room with a delicious evening menu, and breakfast. The bar is great if you don’t fancy a late night out in town, cocktail menu, good draught selection and friendly staff. Could possibly do with some snacks/nibbles, such as crisps, nuts etc. It was our second visit and we’ll definitely return. Highly recommend."

The Coal Exchange Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a good location that was not far from restaurants and public transportation. There was AC in the room which was needed for the extreme heat while I was there. The staff were helpful. There were events at the hotel and concerts at night nearby, so it did get noisy until around 10:30 and then it got quiet. I didn't try the breakfast but went to nearby coffee shops for breakfast."

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were really friendly. Air conditioned rooms on a stay where it was very hot was delightful! One staff member was helpful when unfortunately we had a incident with the hair dryer which must of blown up and caused the lights to go out, was understanding and got it fixed within a short amount of time. Was an easy enough walk to the high Street and the castle in which our event was and was the reason for our stay! Great hotel, would recommend 😊"

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great, lovely interior and very friendly and helpful staff. Only issue there was no car park although I saw there was meant to be. There was a sign to a car park for the hotel but it was closed off and we were informed to park across the road and pay £24 for overnight parking at the back of a stadium. Had a wonderful stay other wise."

The Parkgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel! The staff were super helpful and the facilities were perfect. The room was perfect and large. Very well maintained and clean. Personally I would have preferred a little amenities kit in the bathroom and I was slightly disappointed with the breakfast. With a buffet I expected more items on the menu and some of the pastry and hot food tasted quite stale which was disappointing considering the price. Overall, lovely hotel."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient hotel, right next to train station & opposite bus station. Near all amenities. Great staff, friendly & polite. Room good (small but ample for one night), comfy bed, great shower. Breakfast was excellent. Would recommend for stay over to watch a show, shopping etc."
