    40 minutes from the center of downtown Cardiff, is a modern, luxury hotel called St David's Hotel…read moreand Spa. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfy. The views from our room's patio was a perfect mix of water and skyline. The restaurant downstairs is an all encompassing eatery with delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and late night drinks and snacks. The modern décor gives off a funky, museum vibe and the reception and staff do not disappoint. Taxi's into town cost 7 to 10 pounds, depending upon traffic. If you'd like to stay close to the hotel and explore; you simply walk down the water walk pathway and choose from numerous eateries ranging from high end to "average joe" hang-outs. This hotel has a spa and my friends said they were thoroughly pleased with their experience.

    St David's has everything you'd expect from a 5 star at hotel. The brilliant Tides restaurant, the…read moreamazing spa that Conde Neste has voted one of the top in the UK and of course amazing view out over the bay. Obviously that all comes at a price and its probably the most expensive in town too. A basic room will set you back £200 and thats without breakfast. The suits cost over £500. Whilst it is a fantastic place its not the most amazing 5 star place i've seen or been in. Sometimes I find the staff to be a little bit lax and its starting to a look a bit tired and so maybe they rely too much on its past reputation that getting in perfect every time. Still i'd thoroughly recommend the spa breaks here, wonderful setting, brilliant service.

    After just looking up the contact details of this hotel on the net, I was surprised and saddened to…read morefind that there are a number of poor reviews. This hotel is far superior to all of the comments that have been made on other sites (including some of the good comments). Please read this and don't be blinded by others! This hotel is excellently positioned in Penarth, 4 miles outside of Cardiff. This is perfect for a stay in Cardiff because it's quieter and in an extremely nice area. With the train station literally just outside the front door, access into the city is a regular 15 minute journey at cheap fares. The hotel itself enjoys views from the upper floors that look out over the Bristol Channel, Flat Holm Island and Somerset. That's what I can a view! Penarth seafront is a 5 minute walk through a park away, and shops and restaurants are the same. It has been commented that this hotel seems tired in terms of its decor, but I really don't see this myself. While remaining traditional and retaining many features, this hotel has rooms which are dressed very smartly, and they're surprisingly modern and sophisticated. You only have to have a peep at the accommodation section on their website to see what I'm talking about. This has been a location for the Torchwood series in the past, if you're in any way sci-fi inclined. With an Italian restaurant (Villa Napoli) at the front, you'll be very well catered for in the Glendale Hotel.

It is also a hotel, but I don't know anyone who has stayed here. Never had a problem parking. This is one of my favourite places to eat around Cardiff.

    Both restaurant and hotel this was a bit of an odd suggestion for eating out at lunch time when I…read morewas over in Penarth last. Usually I am happy to have fish and chips on the pier but it was raining so needed some cover. It still had a lovely view of the sea and it would be brilliant to eat out there in the summer. Anyway I had this steak sandwich that just seemed to melt in my mouth and was worth every penny of the £10 price tag. Again all their products are fresh and local and you can taste the difference.

    This is probably the least appealing of several restaurants along the sea front, which is funny…read morebecause it's owned by the same people as Meditteranos just down the street, which I love. Sometimes you see the waiters and waitresses running back and forth between the two, perhaps with a pint or a bottle of wine. I terms of pricing, this is also the most expensive of outlets, but once you taste the food you'll probably concede that it's worth those extra pennies. This is good, hearty British food at its tastiest. Like all restaurants along this stretch, The Water's Edge enjoys spectacular views over the Bristol Channel, and you can enjoy watching the sun set over Penarth, Somerset, Flat Holm and Steep Holm of a summer evening. The thing that lets this place down, therefore, when compared to the others nearby is the atmosphere, I'm afraid to say. While the others have an upmarket restaurant feel, this place is more like a pub with its benches and drinkers lounging outside. This is fine, but doesn't lead you to expect such expensive prices for the food.

    Gord and I spent last week at the Holiday Inn Express Cardiff Bay and I would not recommend this…read morehotel. We booked and paid for our vacation in January. At approximately $368 per night, the hotel was neither the most expensive nor the least expensive option available. One of the reasons we selected it was because a complimentary breakfast was included. Upon arrival, we were surprised to discover that our room had two single beds rather than one larger bed. I immediately contacted the front desk to request a room change but was informed that the hotel was fully booked and no alternative rooms were available. A larger bed would have been preferrable but it wasn't a big deal. The room itself was uncomfortably warm and stuffy the whole time. Although the window could be opened slightly, it provided very little ventilation. There appeared to be an air conditioning unit in the room and an air exchanger above the door so I contacted Reception for instructions on how to operate them. I was surprised to learn that neither unit was functional. I again requested a room change but was told this was not possible. The hotel did offer a fan, which we accepted the next day. Unfortunately, the room never cooled down, even during the night. Both of us experienced restless, uncomfortable sleeps due to the heat. The bedding consisted of duvets in covers, with no separate sheets provided. We eventually removed the duvets and used only the covers but the room remained excessively warm. A few days later, we borrowed a second fan. While the fans helped cool us when we had them pointing as us, they did not lower the room temperature. Adding to the frustration, each fan had a timer that automatically shut it off after a maximum of two hours, requiring us to wake up repeatedly throughout the night to restart them. Between the heat and the fan timers, neither of us slept well during our entire stay. Another issue was the shower. Regardless of the time of day, the water pressure was extremely poor. The staff were friendly. The hotel is in a good spot as it's between the city centre and the Bay (about a 15 minute walk either way). It's in a residential area so there's nothing but housing around.

    Little on the small side but right in the center of the town. The hot water was amazing. Breakfast…read morewas great.

    I was in Cardiff for a conference and chose Riverhouse Backpackers as my choice...plus it was cheap…read morefor three days it was £60. It is run by a friendly brother and sister team. When they told me what room I was going in and it was all male....I was like nah! The were prompt to change and gave me an all female room. The did say keep bedrooms clean, so you knew you wasn't going to get a cleaner every day to change your bedding hence why I saw long stringy hair in my bunk bed that I had to pick off. I enjoyed the breakfast especially a paticular Peanut Butter I was raving to the owner about. It was from Costco! Obviously you get all sort of people- but mainly a young crowd. The have a cute small living room with plenty of choice if you wanted to watch a DVD! Also coming into the entrance of Riverhouse their are lots of information on what to do in Cardiff and the rest of Wales. I love the fact Riverhouse is near the River Taff and really close to the city centre . It was a pleasent stay overall.

    This is easily one of the best hostels I've ever stated in. Clean, comfortable, affordable,…read morewelcoming, did I mention clean? Because it is hands down the cleanest hostel I've ever experienced. It feels like you're staying in someone's family home, only you are an incredibly welcome guest, rather than a paying customer. The fact that it's run by a brother and sister team may have something to do with it. The building is warm with modern bathrooms and showers, and plenty of them. The rooms have comfy beds, block out curtains and proper doonas, so there's no shivering under a sheet. There's free breakfast each day and it's an excellent spread; toast with every topping you could wish for, cereal, pastries, yoghurt, juice, and endless cups of tea and coffee. And the location couldn't be better. Right on the water, each window looks out at Millennium Stadium, so the city centre is just over the bridge.
