Top Cardiff Bay Waterfront Hotel Reviews

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean and tidy room in a good location but very tired and dated needs upgrading"

Clayton Hotel Cardiff

2/10 Terrible

"As a seasoned traveller who stays in 20 to 30 hotels a year, I know the Clayton brand well from stays in Manchester, Bristol and London. My requirements are simple: a comfortable bed, a decent shower and a good breakfast. The “Deluxe Double” bed felt small, measuring 4ft 4in on a 4ft 6in base. The bathroom has a fixed shower head over a bath with a shower curtain rather than a modern walk-in shower. The Executive rooms appear to offer the same setup. Breakfast was acceptable, but poor by modern hotel standards. The bread beside the toaster was partially frozen, the fruit selection was limited, and the continental offering consisted of a few slices of salami and cubes of cheese. There was no fresh loaf to slice yourself and no proper cheese or cold meat selection. The location is excellent, and the hotel serves its purpose if you simply need somewhere to sleep. However, compared with other Clayton hotels I’ve stayed in across the UK, it falls short of the standard I’ve come to expect from the brand."

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."
