10/10 Excellent

We were in Cardiff for a concert. It is a fun event city. We likened the downtown atmosphere to the Fremont Street of the U.K. The city center has the train station, shopping, dining and nightlife, all within walking or Uber distance of Novotel. This historic hotel has a great aesthetic, fantastic food, friendly staff and nice, clean rooms. Would definitely stay here again!
Deanna, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel was very nice and located very close to castle and city centre. Room was big enough. The area around the hotel wasn't very nice and I didn’t felt 100% safe when walking around. Parking is also very expensive, we decided to leave the car somewhere else. Parking should be cheaper for guests.
Julieta Yanina, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Generally a good stay. BUT - BE WARNED!! the hotel car park is quoted as having "Parking Available". What is NOT mentioned is the fact that on checking out and leaving the car park, a fee of £24.00 is charged just for an overnight stay in THEIR car park. Daylight robbery!!!
Timothy, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The location was good, the property had some nice amenities, but the room was old and gross -- stained carpet and -- really gross -- what appeared to be blood stains on the sheets of the pull out sofa.
michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was lovely, we were able to store our bags before check in. Spa facilties were amazing, shampoo and body wash supplied in changing room and hotel rooms. Room very spacious. We didnt have sheets on one bed but this was quickly rectified.
Louise, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

They committed to give the view room but when we reached there. They said they don't have the view room available. So what's the point for reservation we didn't get what we asked for The rest is everything is fine specially swimming pool facility, restaurant and breakfast was awesome.
