Their rooms are less boxy than, say, a Travelodge, but they still lack soul. Still the cream and beige spaces are clean, quite comfortable and usually have enough desk space, if, like me, you tend to spend time in hotels more for business than pleasure and spend fretful nights meeting deadlines on your laptop. They also offer free TV internet access and free local calls. Not got time to eat out? Fear not, the Thomas Restaurant and Bar provides all food and beverage on site and is happy to allow in casual diners as well as Cardiff Hotel guests. BONUSES? Professional business meeting and presentation space are available for hire, they can also cater for private dinners, exhibitions and weddings in Cardiff.

The facilities are clean, the staff helpful, and the pool is truly nice. They have a lot of good classes, which, sadly, are often so booked up with eager yoga-ists, Pilates-fans and Zumba- enthusiasts that we stretch, strain and Zumba into our nearest neighbour. Luckily all with good grace and a smile and, as far as I know, no major fallings-out or injuries. The latest offerings are as diverse as walking clubs, wine tasting and poker (obviously the whole health thing might be slipping a tad). There are a number of membership options starting from around £40 per month, which if I go three times a week works out at cheaper than attending classes elsewhere. Then, I can destroy all my good work by wandering into the café or bar afterwards.

And, the traditional performance by the Cardiff Mens' Choir before the rugby was a pleasant surprise. Second, the bad. The hotel is a mess. A full renovation is required everywhere, and the price does not reflect the level of disrepair. We "upgraded" to a small suite, and the walls were filthy, carpeting burned with an iron and stained, the couch was cheap and ragged, the bed lumpy (and only full sized). The room heating did not really work, shower drain slow, peeling wall paper, and hole repairs which weren't painted. The iron had no steam, and had burnt on crud (from carpet burn), and the lighting electrics were atrocious. The lifts went out on the second day, which means we were trapped when the Choir performed on the stairs before the Italy match. There is no other ingress/egress from the upper floors. If you are coming in for a rugby match, go for it if it is cheap enough. Otherwise, avoid at all cost

Growing up in Cardiff, the Angel Hotel was always "the place"--famous for hosting high-profile…read moreguests and touring rugby and football teams. Because of that history, I was genuinely looking forward to staying here, but unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing. We arrived on time hoping for an early check-in. No rooms were available, which was understandable, but we were told the bar/restaurant would not open until 5:30 pm, so we had to leave the hotel for lunch. When we returned, our room was ready, but we were informed the lift had been out of order since last year. With no assistance available for luggage until later in the afternoon thankfully the porter arrived early and carried our bags up 56 steps. The stairwell had a strong musty smell. The room itself was cold and uninviting, with stained carpets and no heating on. The radiator was completely covered by a heavy blackout curtain, preventing any warmth. We had to rearrange the curtain and use a portable oil-filled heater to make the room comfortable. The en-suite bathroom was in very poor condition: no proper curtain (only netting), no heating, a cracked sink, leaking taps, flaking paint, water stains on the ceiling, and even a cracked windowpane. There was also no fridge in the room. We paid for the breakfast package, but the buffet didn't open until 8:00 am and the food was disappointing--barely warm, dried-out bacon, and eggs sitting in cold fat. Bar hours were listed as 5:30-11:00 pm, yet on two occasions we returned before 10:00 pm hoping for a nightcap, only to find the bar already closed. Housekeeping also knocked on our door at 7:30 am, which felt unnecessarily early. On a positive note, the staff were polite and sympathetic, Given the Angel Hotel's history and reputation, this stay fell far below expectations and sadly felt tired, poorly maintained, and undermanaged.

When it's not getting a share of its 80 of annual rain, the Cilfynydd mountain is a nice place to be, and Llechwen Hall Hotel sits atop it. Set in six glorious acres of hill top gardens with panoramic views, Llechwen Hall is a privately owned, historic, country house hotel with 20 bedrooms, all with individual designs and including some spacious deluxe four posters, for those special occasions that some lucky people have. Whilst I haven't dined there recently, the restaurant offers fine cuisine and excellent wines, served either in the charming panelled heart of the 17th Century oak-beamed long house, or the light and airy Victorian Dining Room with superb views across the valley. The hotel is licensed for civil ceremonies; the package is completed by a good function room, perfect for wedding receptions, parties, or Corporate events; and an outdoor Marquee which will hold 200 guests. They told me today that they are almost fully booked at weekends for weddings until the end of 2009. You can just drop in for a drink, sit on the terrace, and dream of 'How Green Was My Valley' as you look across the Taff and Cynon Valleys. I've attached some views Iechyd da!
