The Angel Hotel
Great location, clean and tidy. Hotel is a little dated but that made no difference to us. The room recycling rules are unfathomable. One point to note - we went on a walking tour which revealed the Angel is the most haunted building in Cardiff!

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bristol South - Cadbury House
Room was on the zero level which I have stayed in before on quite a few occasions - they are always cold, bathroom radiators don’t work and tv signal is awful and pixilated. Other than that the reception team, health club and restaurant were as good as usual

Future Inns Cardiff Bay
This was our second stay at this hotel. It's clean, comfortable and the staff are friendly. The free parking is a plus and it's not far from the bars and restaurants in Cardiff Bay.
