There was a secure car park which was FREE - you don't get that in the Hilton The rooms were comfortable (beds were lovely) and had all the usual facilities which you would expect in the Hilton. The location was fine as it... more

My husband and I were very pleased. We arrived after the normal check-in time, but as we had advised the management in advance, there was someone there to greet us and open the secure carpark. The guesthouse was beautifully clean, our room well equipped with WiFi internet (very important to hubby), a flat lcd tv, tea & coffee and ensuite... more

I recently had to travel to Cardiff and was looking for a good place to stay, so that I could pay attention to my business. Going through previous reviews, I thought that it would be a good place, but unfortunately it was not. They asked for my cradit card number and non refundable payment to book the room. As soon... more

Normally I would give such an accommodation 3 stars as it was nothing special really but as the staff were excellent I have to put this above average. We had a major delay on our flight and contacted the owner who assured us not to worry and just keep him updated. When we eventually got to cardiff he contacted us... more

I stayed one night at the Avala Hotel and found staff very welcoming and could not have done more to help me find my way around Cardiff. The hotel was clean and pleasant. I did not try breakfast because of time constraints but it certainly smelled very good! Hopefully when I next visit all rooms will be en suite as... more
