I stayed here for my boyfriends birthday last night and for the huge amount I paid for this hotel I was expecting more - yes the room was nice and clean (with a great view) but it seemed a little bland to me. I had told the hotel beforehand that it was my boyfriends birthday thinking they may at least... More

This hotel is in a great position in a lovely part of the city and being 5star should be ideal for those looking for somewhere special to celebrate a family or personal event. Unfortunately the promise did not live up to expectations. Our room was extremely hot on arrival, it only had one armchair, the air condition made a constant... More

Stayed for two nights - good Concierge Service - distant & disinterested Reception Staff. Zero Warmth, Luxury or Comfort - in foyer area - makes you a little apprehensive as to what rooms will be like (ambience akin to Office Block or Modern Hospital).

Spent 2 nites in hotel in early May, 2013. Part of a week-long visit to Wales. Hotel was wonderful and spa facilities/personnel great. Parking at 10 pounds/nite was a little excessive. Prices for room, facilities and food were as expected. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

To book use www.thestdavidshotel.com. The .co.uk. web site is a very convincing clone and you will pay a booking fee. Should you book? yes but look out for discounts. Rooms clean and well equipped and service very good. Did not dine in hotel, other than breakfast which was very extensive and good.
