Top Utilita Arena Cardiff Hotel Reviews

Future Inns Cardiff Bay

8/10 Good

"This was a last minute booking. I was expecting a budget experience but this hotel exceeded expectations. Staff were very helpful, room was spacious and very comfortable. Very good value for a one night stay in the bay. I will return and recommend"

Leonardo Hotel Cardiff

8/10 Good

"Staff. Ok, this isn’t isolated to Leonardo in Cardiff but seems to be an issue everywhere in the UK. Unless you ask the right questions, you will not receive the information you NEED. For example, I pulled into the hotel parking area that is controlled by an arm and monitored by check in staff at the front desk. I paid £25 for an outdoor parking space. On check out, not one staffer said, “oh, by the way, this is the code to leave the parking area”. So when I got in my car, I arrived at the exit, the control arm didn’t raise. There wasn’t a communication device to call the hotel. I had to leave my vehicle and walk the 200meters to the front desk only to be told that I would need a code to leave. I ask, “why didn’t I get a code on check in?” The clerk says, “it would have been written in your room key sleeve”. I say, “it wasn’t, but should have been. You have a CCTV monitor there, maybe it would be a good idea to find out why your guest is sitting there wanting to leave.” “Oh sorry about that.” It’s not a big deal but……. The small important details that make the experience decent or amazing. Today, the staff were decent but failed to provide a good experience. Breakfast: terrible! Just terrible. Others may not see it the same way but I think I’m being reasonable. The scrambled eggs had flour or other additives rather than simply eggs and cream or eggs and milk. Not egg like substance or powdered eggs. The sausage was tasteless and the bacon a bit harsh. It just wasn’t edib"

Cardiff Sandringham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely comfortable room we will definitely be going back"

easyHotel Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"It's a 1 star hotel. So keep your expectations appropriate. The rooms are tiny but the beds are comfortable, shower is fine, air conditioning does well in 30+ degree heat, staff are friendly and helpful. And it's half the price of most other hotels in the area."

Park Plaza Cardiff

10/10 Excellent

"They were great in everyway"

Royal Hotel Cardiff by Belvilla

8/10 Good

"This is a historic hotel with a location that is convenient and walkable to many main attractions in Cardiff. We appreciated our extra large room, comfortable bed, and windows that totally blocked any noise from the street. The lift was not working, but is being repaired. The room, however, had only one chair and did not provide bottles of water. Housekeeping in regard to floor cleanliness would benefit from being turned up a couple notches. The condition of the floor detracted from the otherwise pleasant room. On the plus side, the breakfast was generous, elegant, and excellent; it is served in a large grade 2 listed historic meeting room."

Novotel Cardiff Centre

8/10 Good

"We were put into an accessible room, which was not required. no sockets by the bed, only at the opposite end of the room. Other than that, it was lovely, with great facilities."

The Coal Exchange Hotel

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff, the room was large but very dark, it had dark wallpaper & curtains & there were only a couple of spot lights as you entered then a lit recess area above the bed & one bedside lamp which wasn’t ideal. The bed was comfortable & the bathroom had a huge jacuzzi bath, with nice towels provided. We did go for breakfast, it’s self service, plenty to choose from, tho scrambled is the only egg option, good for the price."

Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday

10/10 Excellent

"Bernadette at the reception was very helpful and professional. Even the staff in the carpark as well as the male staff doing the maintenance at the lift lobby were very friendly. The bathroom was sparkling clean, no complaints at all."
