Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel By Belvilla

4/10 Poor

"We couldn’t find the hotel no signs, it looked like an empty building from outside, we had to park 20 minutes away. First room toilet didn’t work, we were given another room, not very clean, fixtures old rusty, windows awful, no ventilation or fans. We booked 2 twin rooms but they said we only booked one, was talking with Expedia for at least 45 minutes to try and sort everything out, then they could only give us a double and twin as they were full, but they gave us another twin when the first one couldn’t be used, the front desk kept lying. So! tried not to let it ruin the stay, but they made it stressful."

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Fantastic location in Cardiff. Room was a little tired looking. Was informed at check in that they were having problems with the air con and this did not work throughout are stay. There was a lot of noise from near by pubs and club but this did not effect our stay but could if you are a light sleeper or have young children. Overall staff are very friendly and we had an enjoyable stay. "

Cardiff Sandringham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It is an older property with its own charm. Location is close to shipping, restaurants, buys stops, train station, so very convenient. We asked for a quiet room and were given one on the top floor, end of the hall, so it was very quiet. Steps are narrow and steep, no elevator. Lots of exercise! Hotel staff was fabulous. St Fagans national museum of history and Caerphilly Castle are both worth visiting!"
