Top Sophia Gardens Hotel Reviews

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good value for money very good location"

The Parkgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent, central location. Beds very comfortable with great quality linen. Quiet and a good nights sleep…but… Very disappointed you had to pay extra to use the pool as the hotel is not a cheap option. Breakfast was disappointing- felt mass produced and not much space around the tables. Staff pleasant but we didn’t feel special. On balance great location but expensive."

Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday

8/10 Good

"A nice clean hotel with large rooms. My only complaints would be the £10 charge to use the swimming pool (yes, it included the sauna and steam room but I only wanted to swim). Also the reception desk was not staffed when we tried to check out just after 0800hrs on the Sunday morning."
