Top Cardiff Castle Hotel Reviews

Future Inns Cardiff Bay

8/10 Good

"Overall we had a good stay at Future Inns. We had a family room, with loads of space and it was very clean. All staff were friendly and helpful when needed and check-in and out was really smooth. Breakfast was decent and the hotel's location was perfect for visiting Cardiff over 2-3 days."

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely welcome from friendly and helpful staff who were also able to recommend places of interest and best parking options. Room was lovely and spacious, with nice shower gel and lovely bedtime pack which included eye creams and chamomile tea, face cream and pillow spray. Breakfast was lovely with a lot of options."

Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel By Belvilla

2/10 Terrible

"Rooms disgusting, sink dirty, tissue paper still on toilet not flushed. Dirty staircase, blinds absolutely stinking, no air con or way to open windows, had small fan in room but done absolutely nothing with the heat we had recently. Had to ring number on reception for staff to come and check us in. Lady came through to check us in, texting on her phone barely even acknowledged anyone, felt quite uncomfortable and dismissive"

Royal Hotel Cardiff by Belvilla

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location really close to the station but also central for shops and loads of restaurants on its doorstep. The castle is also only a few minutes' walk. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was extensive and the breakfast room is a lovely wood panelled room full of character. The beds were very comforatble and the room lovely and quiet."

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Unfortunately we arrived on an extremely hot today to be told the air conditioning was not working and there was a fan in our room. The a/c was expected to be fixed the following day but this did not happen and it was out for the 3 nights we were there. The room was really warm and it made for very uncomfortable sleeping. The hotel offered free parking to compensate but this did not feel proportionate given the impact on the experience. The location was great for the variety of restaurants and shops."
