The Coal Exchange Hotel

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed here and I booked the Presidental Suite for one night The suite was very spacious and clean. The Decor was amazing. The staff were friendly and very approachable and always happy to help. We went down to breakfast between 8-8.30 and the restaurant was practically empty which is great. The breakfast was nice with not a vast selection but more than enough. We did miss fried eggs, though. The only downfall was the parking as this hotel doesn't have any. But it does offer a discounted stay at Q-Park which is situated behind the Premier Inn and around a 5-10 minute work. (Depending on the person) Overall - it is an amazing place to stay with lots of history and character. I would definitely return."

Ramada by Wyndham Bristol West

6/10 Okay

"Fairly typical mid range travel hotel. Surprisingly quiet considering the location on a motorway services. Pros: Quiet. Given choice of rooms. Second lock on inside of bedroom door. Comfortable bad. Cons: Some items were run out at breakfast. Not the best quality of breakfast. Cost quite high. Some black mould in the bathroom. Overall ok but would probably find somewhere else in the future."

The Parkgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful old-world experience of exceptional service and luxury, The hotel is conveniently located to be able to explore Cardiff on foot from that park and castle to shops and restaurants. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and quiet looking out onto an inner courtyard. The spa is also highly recommended as well as their 5* breakfast."
