We arrived at the hotel at 2.30pm to be told that the rooms were not ready - slighly shocked as check-in was from 2pm we went to the bar. Once we had come to terms with the very overpriced drinks we ordered, the bar staff were as in-efficient as the house keeping 30 mins for a bottle of wine to... more

Has the name of being a really cool place to stay in Cardiff. Impressive architecture in a modern, ultra-stylish, "less is more" sort of way. Bar is inviting, with funky glasses that look as if they will topple over, and a nice and relatively inexpensive bar lunch. Rooms (we had a suite) are very comfortable, if a little small for... more

I had always wanted to stay at St Davids, and it lived up to expectations. The staff and their service at breakfast, check in & out, and at the spa was exceptional and professional. We were upgraded to a deluxe room; which was the same as a standard, but with a view of the bay from our balcony. Luckily the... more

My fiance and I stayed at the St Davids, for my birthday last saturday night. We checked in and as our room was not ready, we were given a complimentary upgrade to a room facing Penarth (had previously booked a room facing Mermaid Quay). We were obviously v pleased with this, especially as we had to wait nearly 10 minutes... more

I stayed at the St David's Hotel for 2 days in March this year. When driving up to the hotel, the first impressions are "Wow!". But once inside it loses that wow factor. There are weirdly shaped (and not very comfortable) sofas in the atrium that look like they’ve been purchased from Ikea. They look just, well... strange. Nice comfy... more

If you want a hotel in Cardiff Bay then this is the place to stay - but it is in desperate need of a good deep clean and refurbishment and I imagine it is only just hanging on to its 5* rating. Also, it is quite expensive, so unless you are going on business and not paying yourself then I'd... more

I reviewed this hotel last year and was not very generous, however after complaining about our stay we were kindly offered another night free of charge, this was for a group of 10. The second visit was much better, although I still don't believe that it is a 5* Hotel the overall experience was acceptable. The Spa has been given... more

What a great hotel ! Nice modern airy spacious room - overlooking the city. Fab cocktails in the bar - sipped them outside over looking the bay. Very nice breakfast - all you could ask for. Lots of nice restaurants and bars in the bay area - can highly recommend Wagamamas which has just opened - amazing food ! Cardiff... more

My partner and I stayed on an impulse weekend to Cardiff Bay. We live in Bristol so we know Cardiff quite well and have always wanted to stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived - till we checked out we felt that the staff were really friendly to us and the service was excellent. There is a small... more
