Hotel in Cardiff

“I'm so so pleased we found Barkers Lodge for Waffle... He absolutely loved staying here whilst we were away over Easter and we also are totally in awe of Ellie's skills grooming and putting right the wrongs of our previous groomers! Waffle starts bouncing whenever we pass the turn up to the house! It's wrong to think of this as a kennel, the love and care shown to all the dogs is different level. Thank you and we'll see you soon for Waffles next groom!”

“Had a 5 night stay and everything was great. Bev and Martin were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was lovely. Thanks for a lovely stay. Sue and James”

“We could not recommend this travel agents any more - the trip organised was tailored to our specific needs as a family and each element of the multi destination holiday exceeding our imagination. From the first hotel our feelings were that the trip could get any better but it did. Misty too the time to understand what we were looking for and was available for any questions we had until we returned home.”

“Clean, comfortable and well decorated. I would book again without hesitation. Highly recommended.”

“Thanks to Scott, Jack and Cerys for making Ralph’s first time at the little dogs hotel so amazing! It was Ralph’s first time staying somewhere other than family so I was a bit nervous, but the team and environment is great! We were sent daily updates and photos so I could relax and enjoy my holiday, knowing he’s in safe hands and enjoying himself making new besties! We will definitely use the little dogs hotel again in the future and recommend to all. Thanks again, Hollie & Ralph xx”

“Superb restaurant experience. 1st time here but not the last it doesn’t matter that this wonderful place is situated in the middle of an housing estate nor does it matter that the main car park is small and awkward, all that matters is the quality of service and food which is excellent. The standard of cookery and quality of the Welsh meats is of the highest order, my son and I both agree that the Chateaubriand was the best and most flavoursome we have ever tasted anywhere. The ‘Firey’ Scallops were an explosion of flavours that will provoke debate. The desserts were a delight and beautifully presented. Our young server Bonnie-Rae was excellent, polite and courteous, her manner enabled us to really enjoy a more relaxed and informal evening, she fully explained all courses including allergies and the extensive GF options.”

“We had our wedding day here, and It is the best venue with the most incredible staff. Molly and Klaudia in the events team while helping plan were always there for us and couldn't of done anything more, making everything as stress free and easy as humanly possible, all while being so kind! On the day Mike and Amy made sure everything went to plan and were so wonderful to us and our guests, and Wayne the evening DJ was amazing too. We couldn't recommend a better more accommodating venue, and the rooms that we and some of the guests stayed in were perfect. Thank you so much to the whole team at the bear!”

“It was a really lovely experience, calming atmosphere, loved the Myddfai toiletries, soft, crisp linens and towels. The breakfast was incredible, so much choice, I had fresh fruit salad: kiwi, tangerine, watermelon, grapes, apple, variety of berries and orange juice. Delicious heap of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and no rush at all to eat it! PS. Could do with bathroom floor tiles re- grouting and the shower head deep cleaned to get rid of black mould. Also bathroom shelf was wobbly!”

“My stay at voco St David's Cardiff was truly exceptional and easily one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had in the UK. This hotel is an iconic landmark for a reason! Location & View: The setting on Cardiff Bay is simply breathtaking. I highly recommend booking a room with a balcony; the panoramic views over the water are unforgettable, especially at sunset. It's perfectly positioned for exploring the bay area, with easy access to the waterfront bars and restaurants. Service: The staff deserves special commendation. From the moment we checked in to the minute we left, the service was attentive, warm, and highly professional. Every request was handled quickly and cheerfully. Comfort & Design: The rooms are luxurious, modern, and spotlessly clean. The 'voco' touches—especially the super comfortable bed and premium amenities—ensure a restful night's sleep. The overall hotel design feels stylish and sophisticated without being stuffy. If you are looking for a top-tier experience, amazing views, and flawless service in Cardiff, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!”

“The Clifton hotel is best pub and very local to me.. very good atmosphere and friendly people.. I always feel very comfortable to come in a have pint or 2..the staff is amazing and I know if I need help or there problem in pub they here to help”

“I visited the Macintosh last week and had a lovely time, and the food was delicious, and it was good value for money for sure. I was particularly impressed with one of the staff who bent over backwards to look after myself and my partner, his name was Keri and was so professional and made us feel really welcome, looking forward to going back, hopefully when Keri is working again.”

“A big hotel with a welcoming lounge, large bedrooms, very impressed with room we stayed in. Comfy Queen size bed. Sofa. Clean bathroom and shower.very quiet too. A huge choice for Breakfast , continental or cooked.£12 taxi to train station.”

“Stayed here for 3 night from the 28th of July 2025, was made welcome from a lovely guy called CHRIS who assigned us room 103. I've stayed in many 5* hotels in America, Asia and Europe, and although this was a budget hotel CHRIS was by far the best front of house staff we ever encountered. Throughout our stay CHRIS was so helpful for any information we required and couldn't help us enough. We came as guests and left as friends. Thanks CHRIS.”

“Enjoyed my stay, very nice and spacious rooms with a good range of lighting. All very clean and tody facilities and there was also a great choice at breakfast. The staff were also all very friendly and helpful!”

“Renting a property from harry harper and couldn't be happier, the oven in the property stopped working last night and by 12pm today (christmas eve) they fully replaced without any hassle. Top company and the staff will do everything they can to help.”

“Staff are all very friendly. Their accommodation is very clean and the rooms are very big good value for money. It’s about a mile out of the centre but is a nice walk along the prom.”

“Imran is such a lovely person and is very helpful. He will try his best to give you the best service. Highly recommend him to anyone.”

“Great location for the apartment. Very near everything and some great restaurants near by. Lovely staff where we collected the keys and very helpful in their knowledge on where to go in the city. TIP: Book direct on their website as its cheaper :)”

“Tim was absolutely incredible for the 2 years we rented with him. Great property and location, and Tim was always proactive, friendly, with very easy communication. Will absolutely recommend him to all and will certainly rent with him again in future.”

“I love it! I stayed with my family over night and was perfect! Staff was so friendly when I asked for another pillow and the fact that the food was perfect! I would definitely recommend staying and stay again!”

“This hotel ticks all the boxes. Immaculate rooms, great breakfast and fantastic efficient, friendly team. Nothing was too much trouble. Glad we found it and will definitely return if we are back in Cardiff”

“Had lovely room but there'd been a leak so moved to a suite. Very good stay. I wasn't well, the maids left me peace. Refrigerator was useful so I was able to keep cold water and a sandwich fresh. Only negative there's no light without getting out of the bed in the sitting room. Helpful staff. Free parking. Clean, quiet, 8 minute walk to the Bay.”

“I've stayed here with friends twice for spa weekends. The hotel is excellent. Great location, helpful staff, lovely facilities and rooms are nice. The afternoon tea is great, Spa is lovely and treatments are great. Can't wait to return again!!”

“The location is perfect, as it’s a short walk to all the city center attractions and to Cardiff Queen Street station. The room is comfortable and complete with all the amenities you may need. But what really stands out is the staff. All super nice and helpful. Special praise to Marina, whose amazing service provided an exceptional stay!”

“We booked the room for 4 days. Breakfast was quite good. It has other meal deals also. Room was comfortable & bus stations is just across the road. Different buses including sightseeing stop here. Check the timmings & dates for sightseeing bus. A halal buffet resturant..buffet tonight ...( 18 pound ) with more than 50 items ,is 100 meters away in red dragon mall, with a cinema..games for kids & bowling alley.”

“My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Coal Exchange on the 8th of August 2025, and we honestly can’t speak highly enough of the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. A big thank you to Jamie on reception, who was incredibly friendly and polite – he made us feel instantly welcome and set the tone for a fantastic stay. Our room was stunning – beautifully decorated, spacious, and spotlessly clean. The highlight was definitely the spa bath in the room, which added a luxurious and relaxing touch to our evening. It was the perfect way to unwind. We also had the chance to dine at the hotel’s restaurant, and the food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Special mention goes to restaurant managers Haley and Sam T, who were both outstanding – attentive, professional, and clearly passionate about delivering a great dining experience. All in all, The Coal Exchange exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!”

“This is a lovely oasis in a very busy city center. It is quiet, elegant, and well appointed. Staff is wonderful. We were on holiday when a family emergency forced us to have to extend our stay. The hotel extended our stay, daily, and made sure to keep us in the same room. They provided all amenities needed while taking care not to disturb so we could sleep in between hospital visits. They made a difficult situation so much easier for us. Gracious hospitality at its finest. From management to housekeeping to front desk. Excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.”

“Recently stayed here for a weekend celebration. There were 9 of us in total. The hotel was in a great location. Extremely clean. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice. The staff were incredible. They went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you so much.”

“As a new landlord, Cardiff Estates has been very helpful in helping navigate me through the process. They have been very communicative; keeping me updated and quick to respond to my queries. I would like to give a special thanks to Millie and Victoria, as they have gone the extra mile towards looking after my property and getting it ready for rental.”

“Excellent service from the gentleman on the desk (didnt quite catch his name). He upgraded both our rooms to executive suites. One was a lot smaller than the other and the fridge in the smaller room wasnt working. However this didnt affect our stay in the slightest. Staff were super friendly, made it easier for conversation as one of us were already dressed up to go out!! Rooms were super clean, tv was of a good size only downfall was we could not connect to the chromecast in any of the rooms. Cant comment on the bar/restaurant as only popped in there for one drink before heading out. But it was lovely and clean and the drinks were nice. The pool was nice, jaccuzzi/hot tub could have been warmer but it was ok. Parking charges are a bit on the high side, but we had a lift there and back. Id definatly reccommend and would stay again but would park elsewhere or catch a train and walk. Honestly though the gentleman on the desk was an absolute gem and hes a credit to your hotel. Cant wait to return.”
