Top Sophia Gardens Hotel Reviews

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location V nice rooms Executive Lounge perfect. Amazing staff Thank you"

Novotel Cardiff Centre

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is well located and easy to reach by car and an easy walk into city centre. The car park is a bonus, but very expensive! Our room was fairly sizeable for a group of 3. But the amount of tea and coffee provided needs to be improved. The bathroom, although fairly clean, was dated and in poor repair in some areas. The power of the shower was very poor, but the bath was excellent. Pool was lovely as was the steam room, sauna and jaquzzi, but was crowded at times due to half term holidays. No staff monitoring! In general a good stay, but the parking charges might put me off staying again"

Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Reading previous reviews I was worried our stay would not be a positive one. I need not have worried. Yes the hotel was basic and tired looking but the bedding, towels and bathroom facilities were spotless and the staff super helpful offering advice where to eat, adjusting our bed from a double to two singles and talking us through the door locking process. I can see how the room would be hot in the summer as the windows were fixed but there was an air conditioner unit in our room to address this. If you want a cheap one night stay in a great location this is absolutely fine."
