Cardiff Hotels with Bars

This was my first time staying at a Marriott, and it certainly lives up to its reputation as a well-established hotel. Many hotels in the UK clean every three days, but Marriott cleans daily and provides drinking water and biscuits every day. Location: It's about a 5-10 minute walk from Cardiff Central train station, depending on how fast you walk. It's quite close, with hardly any turns – just follow the road straight. It's also very close to the city center for shopping; you can just stroll over. The bathroom is quite spacious and bright, and the lighting is good, making it suitable for putting on makeup. There's a bathtub, but the shower screen only covers half of it, so if you move around a lot while showering, water might splash everywhere. The room size is decent. After opening a 28-inch large suitcase, there's still plenty of space to walk around. There's also a large full-length mirror, but it faces the bed, which some Chinese guests might find bothersome. The only minor drawback is that the air conditioning wasn't very effective at cooling. Although it wasn't hot during my three days in Cardiff, I wanted it to be a bit cooler, but it didn't really work.

I arrived quickly as it's close to the train station. The location is excellent! It's on the main street but wasn't chaotic or noisy, which was a plus. The self check-in/check-out kiosks made things convenient, and the staff were incredibly, incredibly friendly. The room itself was clean, and the elephant and swan towel art on the bed was especially cute. It immediately put me in a good mood when I walked in. Although there wasn't a fridge in the room, I asked at reception, and they kindly stored my wine in the hotel bar fridge, allowing my friends and I to have an enjoyable night. I was worried the window might look small from the photos, but the view was so beautiful that it didn't feel small at all.

I really enjoyed my stay overall. The location was fantastic—on a beautiful street—and the hotel building itself is stunning. When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by a very kind Italian gentleman, which gave me a great first impression. My room, though located in a separate area, was clean, modern, and nicely decorated. Everything looked fresh and well thought out. However, I was disappointed to find visible stains on the bed sheets. While I believe they had been washed, the stains hadn’t come out and the sheets were still used, which didn’t match the high standard the rest of the hotel presented. I think they should have replaced them. Another minor inconvenience was the bathroom light, which was automatic and triggered the extractor fan. This meant that even during the night, using the bathroom caused the noisy fan to stay on for a while, which could’ve been avoided with a manual light switch, in my opinion. Despite these issues, the stay was mostly very positive, but I can’t give a full five stars because of the sheets. Hopefully this can be improved for future guests.

Had a lovely stay here, hotel was closer to many thing for you to walk around 10min. Services from staff was good. Breakfast was alright and not too fancy. You can also access the pool and other facilities. Bed was okay and comfortable only downside is that they can only change the sheets after 3days not every day when room service does their day rounds. Overall I will definitely recommend. Will definitely visit again.

Great location for Principality Stadium for a concert we asked for a quiet room which we got -air con room -clean -Very friendly staff nothing was too much trouble -great breakfast -comfy beds

It is a good hotel, good size swimming pool & have both steam room and sauna, however, been twice now on weekdays and both times very busy. Mainly self check-ins which loses the personal touch I feel and not too happy charged extra for parking giving the location of the hotel. Great service in the restaurant.

I was impressed. Clean hotel, not far to the city centre, friendly receptionist and enough parking. Highly recommended.

This hotel is super convenient, located very close to Cardiff University, City Hall, and the market commercial street. It's clean, quiet, and there's a coffee shop and bakery downstairs which is a huge plus. Plus, it's really close to Cardiff Castle!

The hotel is in a great location for the train station and to the shopping area. Room was spotlessly clean and well thought out. The air conditioning in the room was not working, which meant it was quite hot and stuffy with no window to open. The music at breakfast was a bit loud for my personal liking and wasn't a nice calming morning background noise for breakfast.

I really liked the hotel! The complimentary breakfasts were wonderful. Right by the hotel, there's a pond with ducks, koi, and swans with their little ones. You can even buy food for them at the hotel for a symbolic 50 pence. The room was neat and pleasant, and it even had an iron and ironing board.
