Top Sophia Gardens Hotel Reviews

The Parkgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good location, great staff!"

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check in was easy and quick, and when we had a slight issue with our room, it was resolved brilliantly for us. The room was a little bit tired, but great for the price. Bathroom was gorgeous and clean, water pressure was perfect! We parked at the NCP which was very close by. Loads of nice bars and restaurants within walking distance too. We stayed here for a concert at the castle and the location was PERFECT! And couldn't hear a thing from the venue with the windows closed. Would stay again."

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really great location. Ask for a quiet room if you don’t want to listen to late night music from the bars . Everyone was very nice. Had a little issue where a room just had a bath so they changed the room without hesitation with just a shower. Car park needs better signage . I’m hoping I don’t get a fine for driving down a bus/taxi lane & stopping to run into the hotel for directions. When you know where it is it’s very easy to get too."
