Celtic Manor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel, would definitely go again. The property is very well maintained, great customer service. Getting the signature room was a good decision as that comes with lounge access, with complimentary tea/coffee and the views."

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"We booked an Executive room and a Standard room for a combined 10 room nights and were very pleased overall. A big positive was being given rooms next to each other, allowing our three children to share the Executive room while we were next door. We had requested this but received no confirmation beforehand, so it was reassuring to see the hotel had taken care of it. Both rooms were spacious, very clean and comfortable. Beds and pillows were excellent, Wi-Fi reliable and air-conditioning effective. Traffic noise was hardly noticeable, although some sound carried from adjoining rooms. Housekeeping was consistently excellent; the cleaning staff were particularly polite and considerate. Surprisingly, there was no shaver socket, so we could not charge our electric toothbrush. The location is superb. We skipped hotel breakfast and enjoyed the excellent choice of nearby cafés and restaurants. Paid parking is directly opposite, with a convenient unloading bay outside. The pool was the highlight: never crowded, ideal for children, with excellent water temperature and quality. The changing rooms could use modernisation, with some missing dispensers and a few showers not getting warm enough. Staff were excellent overall. Our only disappointment was the manager refusing a one-hour late checkout despite the room appearing available. Not an entitlement, but after a substantial stay, some flexibility would have been appreciated. We would definitely return."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful in answering questions and arranged our taxi from the hotel to the airport. Location is very close to train station and walking distance to Cardiff Castle, restaurants, and many other amenities. The room was comfortable and very clean. Bed was good and the air conditioning appreciated."
