“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.”

“Great time at the live lounge. The singers were very good, they even played requests. We didn't have food but lots of people did and it looked nice”

“Food was lovely. I had the breaded chicken breast with fries, coleslaw, and egg. My mum had a full english breakfast. Didn't like the capers on top though I think it kinda ruined the meal but It's my own fault for forgetting to ask to remove them. Full english breakfast was lovely. They take blue light card which is great if you want a decent discount. It took a very long time for staff to take our order and bring the bill, it was busy though. I'd recommend if its not busy and if you have a blue light card as the price would be worth it for the discount. Suitable for people with food allergies and had no issues with that.”

“The food is absolutely delicious and the steak was absolutely stunning. Everything we had was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed my evening. The staff and service was 10/10 so well done for that. Check my full review out on my instagram page @keemanaans_food_blog”

“Really nice five guys restaurant which is located on a really good strip. Newport road is in the heart of Cardiff and has a range of fantastic shops and restaurants. It had a good service here where staff were helpful and you could see that they were very hard working. It was very quiet on Sunday evening around 6.00 o'clock when I visited. The food was prepared and handed to us in a good time which meant we weren't waiting long. The food was incredible as usual. The drinks machine and condiment area are to the right of the store and the toilets through the doors to the left of the store. The floor was a little slippery however that's the same in the other two five guys I have ever been to. Please be mindful of this especially going to the bathroom. The store accepted cards and cash. The car park was medium sized to the left of the building. The atmosphere was very quiet but that was due to it being not very busy during the time of visit. Overall it was a pleasant visit, good store, nice staff, good service and great tasting food.”

“What a great restaurant. Been to the India Gate many times over the years I've lived around the area. Amazing quality Indian food that is surprisingly well priced. Recently I had the chicken tikka masala classic, with onion bhaji starter. Both amazing, sauce that came with the Bhaji was unusual but so so good. Table gets a serving of poppadoms that comes with delicious sauces and toppings Service staff are smartly dressed and efficient. Didn't have to wait for anything despite every table in the place being full. Atmosphere is cosy but professional. Only downside is you may need to book a table because they are always so busy due to their consistent quality through the years.”

“We went here as we was totally depressed walking towards The New Theatre with the many chain restaurant options. No thanks. We food this little gem right at the end just across the road from the theatre. Very warm welcome sat down straight away to a table for two. Busy, lively and fun. Service was excellent, fast and attentive. Food was quick to come out but not rushed. Cracking food all round. I personally felt the starters was a bit pricey but was delicious so... Would definitely go again. Clean and tidy through out quick to take plates or empty bottles etc. Excellent meal all round.”

“Had a great time here. My wife had bought us a beer tasting masterclass. OMG, brilliant. Although there should have been us plus 4 others we were told, the 4 didn't turn up, they missed an amazing 2 hours. Our host was a young guy called Seb, he was absolutely great. Not know what to expect, he went through the plan and explained the beers, what they make on site, what they bring in, how the beers are made, history and you are brought 8 thirds to try in order. Time to discuss each one, the colour, the taste, the origin. He was very knowledgeable and really made a great experience, would recommend this masterclass.”

“Lovely staff and great service. Been going there for years and the staff are what make it a great place to shop.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed my visit as always to the centre! A great time with friends. What keeps us coming back is the great staff, especially Teigan who always takes the time to ensure everything is perfect for us. We are all looking forward to coming back soon.”

“The hotel is the best location ever! It’s in the city center, a few minutes from the train and bus stations, and close to all the main attractions. The staff was very friendly and nice, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The price is also very good, I recommend booking directly through them as it’s cheaper than doing so through other platforms! Will definitely stay there again!!”

“Had great food and drink at Bill's. The atmosphere is always nice, the food always spot on and fills a spot and the staff are always amazing. The staff member serving us today was Andres. They were very nice, looked like they enjoyed their job, always smiling and dressed presentable.”

“Magnificent. I would and definitely will return. We had the calamari to start, which was absolutely incredible, perfectly cooked and a seasoning that is strangely familiar but so unique and delicious. Followed by two fillet steaks with the béarnaise sauce and the garlic mushroom sauce, steaks were perfectly cooked and tender and the sauces were divine. For desert we shared a baileys cheesecake which was lovely and flavorful without being too sweet. All washed down with a lovely bottle of 2016 Bordeaux. So, the hook of the restaurant is to go to the counter to order. Though my partner and I were tentative about this as we usually like to take our time and peruse the menu, this was in fact a delight. The chef behind the counter was not pushy and did not rush us whilst we were trying to decide. Instead, asked if we had any questions. We deliberated between ourselves and had many recommendations from the chef. The service staff were also very attentive and friendly. Top marks here. My only BUT, there always is, and I do feel a little harsh including it was the noise level. We obviously booked a table prime Christmas party season. The parties who attended were incredibly loud. Shouting over each other, obnoxiously drunk, and gathering around each others tables. Though I fully understand and appreciate that this is not the fault of the restaurant at all, it did detract from the ambience. Which we were lucky enough to experience once the large parties had vacated. We will most certainly return”

“Visited the Cardiff Bay branch recently. The food was lovely, the service was even better. The waitress, Eve, was really friendly and made me and my partner feel really welcome. Will definitely visit again”

“I went to Chilli Flames on Monday 17th November 2025, and met this awesome man Atif and some amazing colleagues of his. Everything from the service to the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant was spot on. Especially the service. Food was in filling and big portions, great value for money! Definitely going back sometimes soon. Thank you Atif and team!”

“Just had a wonderful afternoon in the Welsh House, the food was of a very good standard, plenty of choice and well priced. The atmosphere was a cross between restaurant and bar, very relaxing and welcoming. We were attended to by the lovely Isabell who made us feel welcome. Would highly recommend and will definitely come here again.”

“Very handy being next to Greggs. (Never shop for food when hungry! ) Pop in there first then go to Sainsburys ! Good local shop with all your daily needs.”

“I was one of many celebrating n 18th birthday recently with a Sunday lunch at the Cardiff Bay branch. I have to say the service, especially from Diane, Mathew and Nico (manager) was excellent! Both quick and efficient. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and the quality food was excellent as usual and the prices provided very good value for money. Highly recommended.”

“Ordered pizzas and sides for a large group of people late at night, thinking they were open until in the early hours of last Sunday night. When we arrived to the store to collect the pizzas the doors were still open, it was already 23:20 and the staff informed they close at 23:00 but they still took the order we made online. He was kind about the situation and still made fresh pizzas for us. Thank you for your service!”

“I was very happy that this place serves chicken halal. I had food here while visiting Cardiff, I asked the guy and he suggested these loaded fries w/chicken n lemon sauce. I honestly loved it. Thanks.”

“Dog friendly micro brewery serving good food and a very large selection of unusual beers. Staff happy to help you choose, that's why I ever up with a black lager! Very nice though.”

“Fantastic food, a warm and friendly welcome by the very knowledgeable restaurant staff. The food was exceptional, great portions, cooked well with wonderful presentation. I've already booked a family birthday here based on the previous experience. We'll definitely be visiting here in a regular basis. Highly recommended.”

“I got to say I’ve had Dominoes from a few different stores but Ely by far tops the lot ,the food is better the staff are so friendly and the delivery driver Darran is such a lovely polite man 5* from me guys well done keep up the good work xx”

“Stylish, clean accommodation. Appreciated the room upgrade. Good facilities, great bathroom. Parking on street. Staff friendly, didn't eat, but cocktails in bar were well made and good value. However, for two night stay we only received £10 Gregg's voucher for breakfast. £2.50, not even sufficient for coffee and a roll. Please will the owners of the Bistro realise they could upgrade to a realistic value. Or maybe send customers to local cafes and thereby support local businesses. Maybe this could be reflected when booking i.e. an optional upgrade when booking online? Feel sure it would make the whole experience nearer the 100% I'm sure you all want and deserve.”
