I stayed for one night as part of a pampering weekend at the spa. The hotel was very nice, clean with a lovely south facing balcony over looking the sea. My only complaint is that the fire alarm went off at 2.30am due to a leak in their boiler room which meant a long long walk down the many stairs... More

Thank you for your review. My apologies for the fire alarm being sounded but do hope you will appreciate that this is for the health and safety of our guests and staff. Unfortunately the sauna has recently been out of order due to a fault with the elements but this has now been repaired and is fully operational once again.... More

We paid for 2 nights at a suite in St.Davids's Hotel. Over the years we have been often to this hotel. We come back because the staff are excellent, the spa is relaxing and the rooms are clean and luxurious. I would have given 5 stars a few years back. Unfortunately the visit we had this weekend has left us... More

I was very disappointed to read your review, in particular with regard to the cold issue in your room. This is unacceptable and I will investigate further. In the meantime, please accept my profuse apologies. I really do hope you will come back and stay with us again and hopefully restore your confidence as clearly all other elements of your... More

The welcome by reception staff was good but everything else was poor. Where shall I start, rust showing through on the beams and spa equipment at poolside, sauna out of action for our whole stay. The room was stark, not very welcoming or inviting, the tiles looked cheap in the bathroom, scuff marks on the walls in the bedroom and... More

Went here for a break on the Bay. We booked dispite the mixed reviews on Tripadvisor, unfortunatley we were rather disappointed too. The hotel design is pretty weird and is meant to look like a ship but looks more like a Holiday Camp Hotel naming no names. The design inside is impersonal and with little privacy. It looks like a...

We enjoyed a 3 night break over the easter holidays. The hotel has a wonderful location and th views fromt eh room were spectacular. The only slight downfall on this was hte slighly dirty curtains and carpet but nothing too bad. The food in the bar was excellent and the service was wonderful throughout including hte spa and leisure facilities.

After originally checking in to our first hotel The Vale Resort, and absolutely hating it and I instantly got on my phone and booked me and my partner a deluxe room at St David's, which I had previously looked at prior to booking a hotel in Cardiff for a romantic weekend.

This hotel is nice. It's nice like a Premier Inn is nice. There is no offensive decor, the staff are generally affable and the bar stays open til late. But that's just it. There's nothing that makes me gasp, 'this is the 5 star luxury I've been waiting for'. The rates aren't 5 star, the service isn't and the breakfast... More

Excellent hotel, very good staff, only used the restaurant for breakfast which was provided via a very substantial buffet, except for the sausages - however, my friends liked them - so I compensated with having lots of 'Black Pudding' which they didn't like! Excellent Rooms, great views of Cardiff Bay, great bed and excellent pillows - how many hotels just... More
