Cardiff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent central location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Browns restaurant within. Parking excellent - able to pre book. Have option to upgrade room prior at a great price."

Novotel Cardiff Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my family loved staying at Novotel, it feels nicer than other hotels we’ve stayed in. The pool and spa facilities are wonderful but much better earlier in the morning and later in the evening as there is less people. The staff are supportive and attentive. Eilidh was absolutely fantastic. The customs shed staff were brilliant, we had a lovely tikka masala. The waiter Anthony was a delight and a credit to the hotel. So lovely and genuine! Overall, we had agreed that if we were to come to Cardiff, we would come back to this hotel only as it’s simple yet fantastically effective"
