Future Inns Cardiff Bay

10/10 Excellent
"From the welcome received to the final goodbye, all the staff were first rate, Friendly, helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble. The room was well fitted out, little surprised that in this day only an “in bath” shower was in the room but it didn’t cause us any issues, though we do, at 80 years, prefer walk in showers. Another comment, NOT a criticism as this a general observation for most hotels we’ve stayed in which is good number, why in a room for two people do hotels only offer one comfortable chair? We would definitely stay at this Futura hotel again and based on this experience use Futura in another city."

"The 2010 golf course is a great design, a real challenge and was in amazing condition following the long hot summer. The room was well appointed with a comfy bed. The staff were all fantastic and oh so friendly and helpful starting with the doorman on arrival. Dinner in The Grill was good although it was disappointing how many restaurants were closed in September. Overall a great experience."

"Nice hotel, very central, and great to have onsite parking which even though cost £18 was still cheaper than any other carpark around. It does need updating and some TLC but our room was clean and everything we needed for a good night's sleep, after all we were out all day and just needed a base. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was also good value for money"
