Top Cardiff Bay Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

voco St David's Cardiff by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself is excellent - great location and architecture. The cool atmosphere and aircon were welcoming on the hottest June day ever recorded in Cardiff! The facilities were great - including bedroom, bar and pool / spa. A couple of disappointments though. Guaranteed check-in from 3p.m. We arrived at 2.15 so went to the bar to wait. By 3.30 still no room, so after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing they eventually found us an upgrade. The breakfast - distinctly average for the price and luke-warm."

Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this hotel in order to visit the National Museum which is nearby. It is also close to Queen Street station. We enjoyed the overall ambience of the hotel and particularly liked the restaurant and the roof top bar. The staff of the restaurant/bar provided excellent service at dinner and breakfast. The range of choices available for breakfast was excellent. Our stay coincided with the heatwave but the room was air conditioned and cool."

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were lovely, the hotel you could tell was once beautiful in its hay day but although it's had a clean paint job it was in need of some tlc. Our room was big and clean but bizarrely the plugs in the main room didn't work if you turned the light off?? We did not mension this to the staff as it was late when we found out and other than not being able to charge our phone it wasn't really a problem. The main disappointment was for the price, the rooms did not offer air con and were very hot with just one fan provided for the three of us. The beds were comfortable and the room was quiet. We were going to a festival at the castle so it was fantastic in location. The overall experience was good, but expected more for what we paid. But again the reception staff, waiting staff and the cleaning crew where all really great !!!!"
