The 30 Best Hotel in Cardiff

“My now wife and I recently got married at New House, and the whole experience couldn’t have been better. The grounds are beautiful, the view of the city is incredible, and the staff couldn’t have done more for us. Breakfast and dinner were also great. The Wyndham suite and marquee are brilliant for a wedding, and the Countess and Marques suites are perfect bedrooms for the occasion. We would 100% recommend this venue for a wedding or just for a hotel getaway.”

“We spent a weekend here and were thoroughly impressed. The hotel's design is chic and modern, yet the room was incredibly comfortable and quiet. The bed was like a cloud, and the rainfall shower was fantastic. The location is unbeatable, within walking distance of all the main attractions. The staff at the front desk were exceptionally helpful, providing great recommendations for local restaurants. A wonderful base for exploring the city.”

“Booked a P&O cruise with the help of Jack Gore. He provided excellent assistance, knowledge and patience. We hope and are sure the cruise will be as successful as we expect. Highly recommended Cardiff branch of Trailfinders.”

“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.”

“Great service, the staff is super helpful and kind. Thank you to Moses and Pedro for really making the stay better. I was a bit stressed and had to stay here unexpectedly but they quickly changed my mood. It's always people that make a hotel or any business memorable. I would come and stay again. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Second time we have been. Welcoming with that personal touch. Rooms are lovely. The food is amazing. Breakfast was also very nice. Plan to go again soon. Got to know the staff. Love this place.”

“The food was fantastic always on time , the views are so so so stunning,staff/waiters so nice and kind , there's entertainment every single night so funny ,and so good will be coming agin.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“Lovely pub with great variety, warm welcome , great service, definitely worth a visit.”

“We visited on Meat Free Monday (1st December), arriving in the pouring rain, and were immediately greeted with a warm smile and a cosy fire - the perfect welcome. We ordered the vegetable lasagne (both the vegetarian and vegan options) with chunky chips, and everything was delicious and such good value. The team were genuinely lovely, attentive without being intrusive, and made us feel right at home. It’s wonderfully dog-friendly too - they came straight over with a bowl of water for our girl, which we really appreciated. A great experience from start to finish, and we’ll definitely be back.”

“I love coming to this pub, staff are always friendly and welcoming. Beer is always lovely and looked after. Really worth a visit. Christmas decorations this year look amazing”

“We were an hour late to our reservation due to traffic and we spoke to the restaurant over the phone and they kindly held our table. The decor and ambience in the restaurant was so lovely and it had a real homely feel with traditional Christmas trees and decorations. The meal we had was delicious and so fresh and the service was excellent also. We would strongly recommend The Maltsters Hotel and we will definitely be back.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
