Cardiff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a standard double room, comfy bed, good shower, clean room and staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. Had a roast dinner in the browns restaurant, could be better considering how nice the dining area actually was to sit in. Nice pint of estrella though"

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing from the moment of booking! Bieby was very helpful and communicative leading up to our stay. Our room was beautiful and had the most amazing views. The spa facilities were wonderful and I would definitely recommend the inner calm massage! The relaxation room had a range of refreshments and also had lovely views of nature to enjoy while we used the loungers. Staff were always very helpful. Breakfast was great and had plenty of options for me as a vegan. We’ll definitely look to stay here again!"

Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"As this hotel is part of a country club with two golf courses, you would need to be a golfer to get the maximum experience out of a stay here. The food is excellent, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and our room was by a lake, with an amazing view, quiet and peaceful, enjoyed our stay "

Novotel Cardiff Centre

6/10 Okay

"Check in was great. Allowed to the room early. Check out day was not so good. Check out is 12. We were showering and the cleaner knocked and walked in at 10.30 then a maintenance man knocked at 11 wanting to come in. The bar staff were not helpful and no room tab was allowed. Not a smile in sight. Lovely spa area and maintained well. Plenty of towels provided. But only 4 very old saggy loungers. People had to sit on the floor. Room for more or at least some chairs."
