Top Pierhead Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza Cardiff

8/10 Good

"Good central location. Parking across the road in NCP was at a reduced rate if you book in advance. Plenty of spaces. Check in was easy. Overall clean and tidy hotel although it feels a bit old fashioned. Swimming pool was big (15m) and located on the sub ground floor. A bit of an odd layout means you go to the 1st floor reception and then down a narrow staircase into the pool area. Felt dark and odd with a few loungers, hot tub and steam room. Changing area was tired and in need to a revamp. Breakfast was limited and expensive. We popped to Costa around the corner where we had a much more fulfilling breakfast at a much reduced cost. The bedroom was spacious. Layout felt odd and unlike lots of other hotel room we have stayed at. Someone else left a review about the position of the TV and we agree. It felt like the most strangest place to locate it in the room. Bed was comfy and the room was peaceful. No traffic noise. Overall a decent hotel. I’d say a dated 4 star. I doubt I’d return."

The Parkgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Holiday Inn Express Cardiff Bay by IHG

8/10 Good

"Walking distance to the bay and town was really good, 10-15 minute flat walk. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The parking on site was a great help. Rooms were a good size, clean and nicely maintained. The toilet was very low! The lift was a problem as it would not go down to ground floor unless someone was on the ground floor wanting to go up."
