The Cardiff Marriott may have been overshadowed over the last decade by the Hilton and, more recently, The St David's Hotel and the Park Plaza. But if you can find a room at a decent rate, it remains a compelling city centre option. Check-in was quick and painless, even though we arrived well before the 'official' check-in time of 3pm.... more

Location couldn't be better, minutes from the train station and the Millennium Stadium. Our room wasn't terribly clean (a bit dusty in places) and a bit dated but ok. The bar is lovely and the food is good. Overall I'd stay here again. more

Stayed here on business trip. Lovely pool and gym. Breakfast great. Fantastic location near to city centre and castle. Opposite is Las Iguanas restaurant, well worth a visit. Many restaurants and bars nearby though. Rooms clean, spacious and fairly luxurious for standard accommodation. Not cheap, but well worth the money. Hotel really clean. Parking is expensive at £12 per day... more

Overpriced, poor service, noisy...but perfectly situated for the Cardiff Arena. more

Stayed in the hotel in February as we had come to watch England VS Wales at the millenium stadium and meet the players and management the night before The rooms were very comfortable and the hotel had done a fantastic arrangement of chocolate and fruit in the room saying "Happy 40th Birthday Simon" which we thought was a lovely touch.... more

If arriving by car, download directions from the Hotel's website: some surrounding roads are closed; and, coupled with the One Way systems, this could see guests going round and round, growing more frustrated by the minute! And once you do reach the Hotel, the adjacent Car Park is down a steep slope, with gated access. Admittedly there are 3 Set... more
