We usually stay at this hotel when we visit the UK centrally located for our needs. Rooms are OK a little on the small side but clean only real complaint is that they do not have any A/C. Staff are pleasant, good breakfast buffet, dinner menu typical hotel fare. read more

I've been a member of the Village Hotel Health & Fitness Club for longer than you'd think if you looked at my waistline. 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. read more

As a Cardiff resident I have not had the need to stay overnight at the Village hotel, however I have dined there on occasion and am currently a member of their health club. With regards to the health club, I am generally happy. Whilst nothing particularly fancy, in terms of health and fitness the Village has a lot to offer. The pool is nice and big, includes a Jacuzzi, and there are steam rooms and a sauna close by. The gym itself is very good and contains equipment that would suit most people's fitness needs. What's more, you can alleviate boredom whilst exercising by watching one of the six TV screens on the wall, the cross trainers all have there own screens with satellite TV on offer (just remember to bring headphones). There are variety of classes such as yoga, pilates, aerobics etc... on offer throughout the week and weekend, however book ASAP as I've found they fill up immediately (it would be good if they could schedule some more in). There are a variety of membership options, and they're not too expensive by gym standards (around £40 a month). After the gym I often go to their cafe (members get 20% off) as the sandwiches are quite good. Their main restaurant on the other hand is not so great! I've only eaten their once but found the food rather bland. On a more positive note, I've had a few beauty treatments at the Village, which I have no complaints with. I found that the staff really knew what they were doing and were all very chatty and put me at ease. read more

Built in 1998, this large hotel is an offshoot of a new chain that combines luxury hotel facilities with a health and leisure club. This place boasts of the 25 metre heated pool, but there is also a cycle and jogging track and golf course, and water sports can be arranged locally. In addition, the hotel offers luxury rooms, a first-class restaurant and bar and full business support services. If you can bear to drag yourself away, Cardiff city centre is four miles away. Transfers to the city centre, and to Cardiff Airport, can be arranged. We loved the service especially the reception staff, and the food was very good but we tought expensive!! I would certainly recommend this place for the fact that it is close to cardiff and yet far enough out to be quiet!! read more

Gym membership, Joined last year, they lured me in with all the advantages but these have been curtailed throughout the year. We used to get 10% off in the Starbucks on site, this just stopped and the first you know of it is when you present your card. We used to get 20% off in the Hotel pub, this changed to 10% again no notification to members. We used to be able to take a friend along once a month, I turned up last week and they have changed the rules and you have to register the day before so they charged me £12.50, again no notification and no mention of this on the form you print off to take your friend along. I have emailed the contact address but besides an automated email saying they would get back to me I have had no reply. I tried ringing and couldn't get an answer on most of the options you select at the start of the call, but surprisingly when I selected the "I want to join" option they answered straight away. Spend £13.99 a month instead of £50 and go to the one on Newport road!! read more

The village is ideally located just outside of Cardiff and provides easy access to the Valleys and the M4. The gym is very good and has all the latest equpitment. The wellness centre is great and the staff are very friendly. I personally am not a fan of the resteraunt as I always find the food cold and tasteless. The rooms are lovely. Car parking is ample. read more

This hotel is in a great location just off the m4 and outside of Cardiff City Centre. The hotel rooms are clean and spacious and fully equiped with everything that you would expect. Has a gym, pool, sauna, steam room and a beauty suite. Popular for weddings but there are no grounds for pictures to be taken! read more

This hotel is where I held my wedding, the staff are really polite and extremely helpful. The food was exceptional, and the service at the bar was quick and easy. The hotel rooms are clean and spacious and fully equiped with the standard things you'd expect from a hotel. The swimming pool is lovely and large, and of course clean. They also have a gym which I personally haven't used but am told it is good. They hold a quiz in the bar every tuesday, which is really good fun, a holds a certain amount of pub charm. I have also been to several of there theme nights, (Abba, Rod Stuart and Tina Turner) and they have been really good value for money, and very entertaining!! Generally a good place to stay and socialise in. x read more

I regularly meet here with family for lunch. Excellent location just off the M4. A short walk away from a train station that takes you into the heart of Cardiff. Bus stops nearby. Hotel itself is clean and welcoming. Never stopped overnight but have heard good things from those who have. I booked a massage for my husband as a present. Staff very helpful and my husband recommends the massage. Excellent all round place. read more

The Village leisure complex may not be particularly classy, but it has quite a good gym and sporting facilities at a price which competes easily with the more fashionable gyms around. You dont have to be a member here to come here though, you can meet friends for lunch or dinner in the restaurant or bar, you can also pay a one off fee to use the swimming pool and gym facilities. The leisure complex also offers some 'spa type' sessions, where you can use the pool etc and also have some health and beauty treatments such as massages and facials. Be warned though, these aren't particularly cheap so it may be worth looking out for offers elsewhere. read more

The best thing going for this hotel is its location - Just off the M4 Jnc 32 /A470 and 4 miles from Cardiff city centre.The hotel can arrange transfers to the city centre and has good access to public transport. The gym is well equipped and benefits from a 25m pool. The restaurants are reasonably good and have recently been renovated. The cafe downstairs is particularly recommended- nice ambience and good for coffee/ quick bites. Cant comment on the rooms however. The staff seem friendly and happy to help read more

Cramped. Dirty. Rude staff. We had a trail run of this gym, as at the time we were looking at a number of gyms in Cardiff with the intention of joining one. The time between us walking in and leaving was 35 minutes. We were given visitor passes at the front desk, and then we went downstairs to the changing rooms and gym. My wife tried to pass through the turnstiles in order to get to the changing rooms, and was promptly barked at by a receptionist next to the turnstiles about "MEMBERS ONLY!". We eventually sorted our access out, and went to get changed. The changing rooms were ok, apart from the fact that some of the lockers had locks missing, and had the doors left open. Odd. The gym was a major letdown. The machines have been crammed in so close together that it is a challenge to squeeze between them to get around. The control panels were also dirty with a greasy film. Also, I plugged my headphones into three different machines - no sound on any of them. The room itself has a low suspended ceiling, as you would find in an office; which creates a cramped stuffy atmosphere. We gave up after 10 minutes, and went for a swim. On a more positive note, the pool was good. All in all, glad it was only a trial! read more

A good hotel with good leisure facilities including a swimming pool, restaurant, pub, cafe & gym hosting a range of aerobic classes.

I use this hotel for business and in that sense you really couldn't ask for more. The rooms are spacious and airy and all business services are available cheaply. Conference facilities can be booked with ease and you can continue discussions over lunch in a segmented lounge and bar area that allows for confidential chat without being locked away. IF you have time the hotel also have an excellent range of sport and recreational facilities including an excellent swimming pool. The location is probably the high point being located just off junction 32 Coryton interchange, Cardiff, Bristol and West Wales are easy accessible with ample car parking and a near-by train station. read more

I've used this hotel on business, staying overnight. The room was clean, comfortable and the bar food was OK but nothing to get excited about. Can't vouch for the restaurant though. As it is located just off the M4, I stopped off here in the summer to have lunch with the family on the journey home. Not impressed with the service this time! My wife's pizza was so late that I had finished my lunch by the time it arrived - nothing off the bill, just a weak apology about burning it the first time. read more
