Top Nelson Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful reception on arrival. The room was clean and tidy and the location was perfect. Didn’t have time to use the spa facilities but they were complimentary so worth packing your swimming trunks and gym kit. Will certainly visit again."

Celtic Manor Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but the grouting around tiles were yellow. The mirror over the table was too high to sit and make myself up. Wardrobe and furniture were a bit dated. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Always seemed to do more and above of what was expected. The breakfast was amazing! Lots of variety for everyone. Although I would like to see the addition of strawberries blueberries and raspberries to the breakfast menu. Parking was a bit of a surprise cost. I didn’t read anything on line about the cost of £25 for parking overnight. That was definitely an unwelcome hidden cost! The spa didn’t seem to cater for disabled people?"

Hilton Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Edward stood out as an exceptionally helpful member of staff. So informative, friendly and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. He went above and beyond and we were very grateful as it was our first visit to Cardiff. We had a deluxe room which was very comfortable, executive lounge was an added bonus. Breakfast was amazing, plenty of of choice."
