Top South Wales Hotel Reviews

Tŷ Newport

10/10 Excellent

"I found the hotel to be really great. Very clean from the moment you enter to getting to your room. The staff when I needed them were available and helpful. The gym while small, was perfect for a small workout in the evening. It was everything I needed on this trip!"

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean. Location is excellent. Feels like it needs a refresh. Issues with the lifts when we stayed"

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and very helpful staff. On our first one-night stay the property was disrupted by the filming of a movie and this created some hardships on everybody - unexpected and my review would be much worse if that would have been our only experience. On our second one night-stay a few days later the experience was completely different - movie people were gone - and we really liked the hotel."

Celtic Manor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff in restaurants could be rather impatient and unpleasant at times .we had a party of 16 for dinner, and waiters were eager to whisk away our plates before we had finished, which made us uncomfortable. Otherwise a brilliant hotel. Will stay again soon"

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, reception is so welcoming and immediately feels like you've stepped out of Cardiff. The room was incredible complete with double bed, bath, shower, sofas and everything needed for a wonderful stay. Unfortunately was a work trip so didn't get much time to try out the facilities or breakfast but I'm sure they would have been equally as amazing"
