Top Pierhead Hotel Reviews

voco St David's Cardiff by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at St David's. Fresh lobby area. Welcoming staff. Super clean and comfy room with balcony. Excellent restaurant."

Novotel Cardiff Centre

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is well located and easy to reach by car and an easy walk into city centre. The car park is a bonus, but very expensive! Our room was fairly sizeable for a group of 3. But the amount of tea and coffee provided needs to be improved. The bathroom, although fairly clean, was dated and in poor repair in some areas. The power of the shower was very poor, but the bath was excellent. Pool was lovely as was the steam room, sauna and jaquzzi, but was crowded at times due to half term holidays. No staff monitoring! In general a good stay, but the parking charges might put me off staying again"

The Coal Exchange Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had booked two rooms for two nights in this beautiful historic building which is less than a 10 minute walk to the bay. The reception staff and the two ladies overseeing in the dining room when we had breakfast were all lovely and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble with queries and requests. Unfortunately mine and my partner's room could have been cleaner in places i.e. in the bathroom for example the base of the sink tap was filthy which I cleaned along with some other areas. Unfortunately the wet room is stained in places. There was also a patch of stained carpet by the window. One of the cups and one of the glasses had not been washed or not checked thoroughly and also the kettle was dusty. I did not raise this at the hotel as we were overall pleased with our stay but my sister did raise the issue with the window in her bathroom which was resolved very quickly. Hopefully this is not reflective of the hotel as I would not hesitate booking there again but just a thorough check and proper deep clean of our room prior to our arrival would have enabled me to give top marks."

Staybridge Suites Cardiff by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Needed a very last minute dog friendly hotel. I rang up at 5pm on Monday night to confirm they are dog friendly and the guy who answered the phone was super helpful. Booked in with them. The room was brilliant as it’s a suite, quite spacious for a family of 3 and a dog. I would use this hotel again for sure as it has its own kitchen as well which is brilliant. We didn’t know this so next time we would buy and cook our own food Found out we had free breakfast as well. Very basic but they had a nice selection. Only criticism would be the room was quite dusty in parts and there was no Wi-Fi. Whilst the WiFi doesn’t bother me, I had a phone call I had to do Tuesday morning on teams which meant I couldn’t do that. That’s my issue however, not the hotel. But there was no communication saying there was an issue with it"
