Top Pierhead Hotel Reviews

Royal Hotel Cardiff by Belvilla

8/10 Good

"good"

Park Plaza Cardiff

8/10 Good

"Hotel seemed nice enough. Clean, fine location for where I needed to be. Room was very spacious although in-room amenities a bit disappointing - TV small and oddly located for size of room (would have been difficult to watch from either the bed or the sofa), no conditioner provided just shampoo (my hallmark for the quality of a hotel!) and instant coffee is bad enough, but Nescafe? Who even drinks this?! But minor gripes really, hotel was fine, staff very friendly and helpful."

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were lovely. Very convenient location. Option to purchase breakfast buffet. Would definitely stay here again."

Hilton Cardiff

8/10 Good

"The lift was broken so it was a nightmare waiting or using the stairs! Clean, tidy and everything needed - the gym was also great. Would prefer a bottle of water in the room rather than water in the lobby but small feedback"
