The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience. Staff were really helpful and accommodating. Good option to store luggage and lounge. Good breakfast options."

Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club

8/10 Good

"Check in was terribly slow, with a queue forming, as a single receptionist was attempting to locate a guest booking as part of a larger party. Despite the queue and reception needing assistance, somebody appeared from a back office, then returned, without acknowledging waiting guests. Service in the restaurant along with the quality meal was excellent...on world cup semi final time too. The rooms are oddly not really a part of the main building and are accessed only from the outside, that said the view over the well maintained golf course was lovely. Parking seemed to be something of a challenge, with limited spaces. I may be tempted to stay again, although it is a bit of distance away from bristol, especially if there is an incident on the bridge."

The Coal Exchange Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I booked 2 nights through a third party. There were communications issues, with payment and breakfast. We arrived late to open assigned room with people in it twice. Someone opened our room with their assigned keys our 2nd day. Staff was apologetic, but these issues should never happen. Thats said, we liked this hotel for its history, character and charm. Its like a maze in there! Breakfast was good. I hope they solve these issues. I would booke here again."

The Parkgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location for Train station and shopping . Loved our stay at The Park Gate staff were very welcoming at reception especially Richard . Huge comfortable bed and complimentary Prosecco brought to the room to celebrate our Ruby anniversary. Room was lovely apart from the carpet which needed cleaning . Looks like children may have stayed in the room recently. Great thermal suite experience had the whole room to myself . Would definitely stay here the next time I visit Cardiff. Thank you"
