"Room was large, comfortable and had everything you need for an extended stay. Contactless checkin instructions were a bit confusing but in the end I got to my room. The room was modern but could have used a deep clean. Hallways were very noisy due to a family in the neighbouring room (otherwise would probably not have been a problem). Onsite laundry room was not as described in the listing - only one washer/drier and no air dryers on loan and the room was not secured (lock broken). The building...

Top Sophia Gardens Hotel Reviews

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The lobby area is convenient for hanging out and getting work done also"

Hilton Cardiff

4/10 Poor

"We arrived early from overseas flight. Manager front desk told us we were too early, no rooms available. I asked did she want to check, she said no need, she knew. Said she would store our bags. That’s it. I asked for a map, she gave a booklet, said turn left, turn left, turn right. Much better reception at The Parkgate. Warm welcome, invited us to rest our feet, directions of things to do, 100% stay at The Parkgate. Avoid Hilton Cardiff."

The Parkgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous one night stay at the Parkgate. The hotel is immaculate and our room which was upgraded was equally as fabulous. Location is amazing, close to everything Cardiff has to offer and whilst we were visiting from Cardiff, I’d recommend this to anyone travelling to the city! Spa facilities were incredible, small but well appointed and very relaxing with wonderful views out over the city and beyond. Best thing though were the staff. From the front desk, to restaurant staff, to the cleaners who quickly came when I accidentally smashed a glass in the room. Everyone went above and beyond to make your stay special and welcoming."

Novotel Cardiff Centre

6/10 Okay

"Check-in was quick and efficient, and the staff were very friendly throughout our stay. Although the restaurant was not particularly busy, our food arrived only lukewarm and our drinks were initially forgotten. The meals tasted more like pre-prepared frozen food than freshly cooked dishes. As a result, we chose not to dine in the restaurant again during the evenings. I did not have breakfast myself, but my partner said it was good value for the price. Our room was spacious, very clean, and well maintained. Towels were changed daily when left on the floor. However, the shower gel appeared quite watered down. One drawback was the lack of a quiet area to work or take private phone calls. I was directed to a space behind the lifts, but it was still too noisy for a confidential conversation. The hotel advertises limited parking, but there were always plenty of spaces available whenever I returned. Overall, this hotel is a good choice for a short leisure stay in the area, but it is less suited to business travelers who need quiet spaces for meetings or calls."

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasure turning up here, staff always recognise me & greet me well. one of the best nights sleep for a while, mattress was divine & didn't actually want to wake up. Bathroom & room were spacious with good WIFI for working on my Laptop. Shower was strong & perfect temperature & finally in morning had a great breakfast. Sausage, Bacon & Hashbrowns were fantastic. only small criticism is eggs at breakfast. i do like poached or light scrambled. choice could have been there but I didn't ask. overall great stay & in a brilliant position for the City centre bars, restaurant's etc."
