Premier Inn Cardiff Bay
3.8/542 Reviews

Premier Inn Cardiff Bay

Butetown|0.49km from Techniquest
The main problem with this hotel is the staff their attitude if you have a complaint or problem is oh they're just out for a freebie. Everything was too much trouble, the rooms were not up to the usual Premier Inn standards, the pillows we poor quality and filthy, which they begrudgingly changed, in our friends room the bedsheets had about 5 or six thick repair seams in it. the breakfast was its usual good quality, although the floors were filthy, and hadn't been cleaned since the evening service as there were slices of pepperoni pizza etc on the floor. We ordered food on our first evening, as we arrived late in the day, and having eaten in the Thyme restaurants many times we know the food is good, one of the party ordered a plain burger, as they dont like sauces etc, the food came with everything, when we asked that they replace, all we got was oh you csn just take it off, and walked away, we had to get the manager to sort it.Our room tv was well playing up, very slow to start and change channel, but the funniest bit was as we left on Sunday we couldn't turn it off. We were in Cardiff for the rugby 🏉 and have a long weekend break to recharge batteries. And celebrate 30th anniversary and birthdays. Although the service was bad n cleanliness left a lot to be desired it hasn't put us off Premier Inns, and the location of this one is ideal with large carpark facilities next door. Would probably use the new one in the centre in future though.
Staybridge Suites Cardiff

Staybridge Suites Cardiff

Butetown|1.09km from Techniquest
Disastrous first booking with trip.com! Travelled with my Daughter and her friend, arrived only to be told there was only a king size bed, room too small for the 3 of us. On booking, the search engine was defaulted to 2 adults, so this was amended accordingly. Thankfully there was a spare room.to accommodate at an additional cost of £30, oh and parking was £10! Not the budget stay I originally thought it to be. Please be careful. Accommodation top class, clean, fresh, beautiful with attention to detail.
Holiday Inn Express Cardiff Bay
4.1/5114 Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Cardiff Bay

Butetown|1.09km from Techniquest
Reception: The ladies at reception are very nice and welcoming, especially Sabina. Room / facilities: Room number 311 is on the 3rd floor and is clean with a water view. Oddly, they don’t make up a room daily, unless requested. This service has no additional cost. The 2 single beds are jointed to make a king bed, there is a small clothes hanging area, little bathroom, chair and desk, with tea and coffee facilities. There is no fridge in the room, but reception will keep a small amount of items in the hotel fridge. Self control air conditioning with a window that opens about 5 cm. Parking: Is shared between the Holiday Inn Express and Staybridge hotels, and can fit about 35 cars. Parking is £10 per night, and registration must be provided. Wifi: Complementary and good speed. No validation or password required. Breakfast: This was part of our room package. The traditional English buffet breakfast is from 7.00am to 11.00am and consists of cereals, yogurt, breads (to toast) jams and spreads, fresh fruits, pastries, eggs, bacon, baked beans, sausages, juices, tea and coffee. It was noticed that even at 9:00 am refills of milk, and food was slow to come. Conclusion: Great location, nice staff, comfortable bed. Letdowns: No fridge in the room, possibility of not getting car parking upon your return to the hotel. Location / Nearby: Cardiff Waterfront is a 10 minute walk, Cardiff City is a 15 min walk. Both walks are on flat ground and easy to do. Beware: No matter where you drive to, payment for parking is required. Most parking meters accept coin and card “tap” facilities. Generally after 6.00pm or 8.00pm parking is free, in designated locations. Getting to hotel: Best use GPS
Novotel Cardiff Centre

Novotel Cardiff Centre

Butetown|1.53km from Techniquest
Stayed in Novotel over weekend for our daughter's wedding in East One suite and the Warehouse. From the moment we checked in until the time we left it was an absolutely fantastic experience. All the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, they were so welcoming and friendly and always very polite and smiling :) Nothing was too much trouble for anyone and all were very helpful. Thanks to Justin, Lit, Lily and Sabina for making breakfast time so easy, the breakfast was very nice with plenty of choice. The wedding breakfast on the day was absolutely delicious and so well presented, and the evening buffet was delicious and plentiful. Again, all the bar staff were so friendly and pleasant; it really was a pleasure going to the bar! :) Our room was clean and tidy, and cleaned every day. Hotel is convenient for city centre. The staff are definitely a credit to this hotel and make it what it is. Thanks to all the team for making our stay such a pleasant one. Would definitely stay at the Novotel again.

Perfect Hotel to explore Cardiff! Really central. Lovely friendly staff. In fact every single person we met in Cardiff was so so friendly! Couldn't believe how quiet it was in the rooms considering we were there on a Six Nations weekend. Superb security on a Six Nations weekend that ensured only residents could access the Hotel. The rooms are compact, but perfectly formed, you have everything you need!! Bed was super comfy too! We didn't opt for breakfast so can't comment on that, but I would highly recommend this great Hotel. We would absolutely return!
Radisson Blu Hotel, Cardiff

Radisson Blu Hotel, Cardiff

3.9/5113 Reviews
Waexpecting a high standard of accommodation, it didn't live up to expectation. Rooms are pretty sp**** in furniture, we booked a executive suite on 18th floor, so view was great. Room was clean and we were only staying the night for a gig. Our room door had some sort of locking problem where it didn't lock until you unlocked it while open then closed the door, lucky I'm a but OCD about this sort of thing and tried the door as we left for the evening to find it openable from corridor. We couldn't shower the next morning as the cold water tap turned but no water came out, hot tap was scorching but no way of cooling it down. Breakfast was pretty ordinary tbf, nothing to write home about, hot held, mass cooked low on taste. Reported door and shower issues on leaving. An apology but no offer of a discount or voucher to compensate, especially about the shower. Shame we really wanted it to be a great experience as we have a few Cardiff trips planned and wanted a regular base.

Anniversary and birthday. Beautiful hotel looking over Cardiff Bay /Penarth. We had a room overlooking the bay on the 7th floor. Stunning views. Used the Spa and really enjoyed the hydrotherapy funnels. Try and avoid child swim times if you want a little peace. Breakfast was vast offering everything you could possibly need. Catering for vegans too. Lovely stay
Ibis Budget Cardiff Centre

Ibis Budget Cardiff Centre

3.7/5119 Reviews
On arrival very small car park luckily one parking space left, Outside looks very run down, I was initially pleasantly surprised when walking in, the lobby looked very clean and tidy around the reception desk, until we saw the beer all over the floor and dirty cups on tables from the free coffee (we’ll get to the bit) There was a large group of “stag” goers ahead of us, who clearly hadn’t booked rooms as they were trying to work out what rooms were available, there was one lady trying her best to sort the group out with 3 other staff watching her, we waited for around 10mins Until an exasperated look from a party member towards who looked like the manager prompted him to use the hand held device to book us in, A key card was given …. No directions to my room, no info on breakfast times, no other info at all …. Just crack on …. I walked through the mini Lake District of beer to the lift, swiped my card and waited 2-3 mins …. The screen wasn’t working and the lift didn’t come so I used the stairs to the 4th floor, Found my “room” when I walked in it’s tiny, budget is the word, this was beyond budget, not even a mini kettle, the sink is in the room as is the shower, with a separate toilet cubicle, the frosted glass on the shower is made more so by the build up of lime Scale and watermarks no handle just a hole to use, this is ok as I’m alone but the other party had a 14yr old lad in a “family” room so not really acceptable in my eyes, the cubical was VERY small, my friend could barley get in, at 110kg but a power lifter he’s broad but not “huge” I’m 6ft 1 wear a large t-shirt and found it hard to shower In it. The room are run down, probably nice a few years ago (has wood chip wallpaper) . The skirting is coming away scuff marks every where, dust on the very small archaic tv, the air con unit didn’t work and the toilet rolls Sat on the floor behind the cistern (despite there being a hook to put them on) There was a “stool” that looked like an upturned washing bin, to a small desk I could only find 2 plugs I know the whole Room, couldn’t charge my watch/phone and iPad over night, (yes small Inconvenience but still annoying) The tv wouldn’t get a picture, I went to the front desk but no one was there, I bumped into the night porter earlier who seemed very friendly though so I’m guessing he was busy elsewhere. So I thought “ooh I’ll grab a coffee while I’m here”, small sachets of Nescafé original and plastic milk, I’ll pass thanks, Bed basic and comfy enough, not like Home but I suppose it is a budget hotel, The breakfast looked dire, continental for £6.50, I’ll hit the coop over the road or McDonald’s on the way home, All for an extortionate £140, there was an event on close by and this may have bumped the price a little but by 90£ on the base rate of £52 is crazy greed Needless to say I shall not be staying in one again, I Hope the normal ibis I have booked next month is better
Cardiff Sandringham Hotel

I stayed here Friday night as I was attending a wedding. There was limited accommodation available in Cardiff city centre due to a few events being on and all the hotels I usually stay at were either fully booked or had tripled in price so I stayed here. I arrived at just gone 4 to drop my case off and freshen up as it was 35°! I was greeted by a lovely lady and directed to my room on the second floor. Yes the hotel isn't suitable for those with mobility issues, but this is clearly stated on sites as there is no lift. My room, linen and towels were spotlessly clean. Plenty of tea and coffee supplied and 2 bottles of water which was welcome because of the heat. There was also a fan in the room which you don't get in many hotels and again very welcome. I went to the reception returning at 1am and greeted by the night Watchman, another lovely member of staff who asked if I'd enjoyed the wedding and let me in a few time after while I popped out for cigarettes and chatted. I usually book a double room but none were available but the beds were 3/4 so plenty of room. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and I had a good night's sleep until 7am. I was woken by the property next door making an awful lot of noise for half an hour. Not the hotels fault and I believe they supply ear plugs if you ask, as I was at the back I didn't ask. After a lovely shower I packed up and went to check out. Check out, like check in was speedy with the same lovely lady who asked how the wedding had been. Left my bags there while I went shopping and picked them up a couple of hours later. I had a phone call after that as I'd left my spare phone in the room. Unfortunately I was on the way home but she arranged for my cousin to pick it up. I will definitely stay again. Cheaper than my usual hotels and just as close to the shops and pubs.
