My partner and I had one night here on a special summer rate and found the hotel very good value. It's in a decent location if you don't mind a bit of a walk to either the bay or the city centre (only about 15 mins) and has reasonable parking right by the hotel. The building looks good - I... more

The hotel is in a good position for the city centre, the rooms are large and basically clean, but things like large stains on the chair and other marks in the public area let it down a little, we stayed for two nights, and because U2 were playing the second night (not in the hotel) the room rate more than... more

We went to meet up with extended family ( 7 Adults, 3 Children aged 8,11,13) and found Novotel Cardiff with the help of Trip Advisor reviews! The Service was good and unusually, they placed our 4 booked rooms all very near to one another which was very handy for children popping in and out. Rooms were spacious and had Air... more

Staff brilliant, very helpful and friendly. Gave plenty of information about attractions in Cardiff and options on how to reach them. Hotel is only a 10 - 15 min walk from either the city centre or Cardiff Bay. Parking is £5 for 24 hours but is secure and ticket has to be validated by hotel reception before you are able... more

My husband, 14-year old daughter and husband have just had a 3 night break. The location was superb for what we wanted. Cardiff Bay was lovely and it didn't actually rain. Museum of Welsh Life was awesome and no charge. We ate at the Red Dragon Centre at a superb noodle bar and enjoyed exploring the countless shops and cafe's... more

My husband and I have stayed at this hotel in various rooms on many occasions over the last few years and generally find it comfortable and clean. As previous reviewers have stated we have also noticed problems with the temperature (summer too hot, I was cold in July but it was raining!) maybe there is a problem with the aircon.... more

Interesting that Cardiff is portraying itself as a Party City in some publications. The number of groups in the hotel was high that weekend and reflected the noise levels experienced in the hotel after midnight. We have stayed in this hotel before and never had the level of noise we experienced. It didn't stop sleep but there was the constant... more

We are a family with 3 children aged 2,7 and 10. we stayed in the terrace suite (the only suite in the hotel) which was a good size and had all facilities we needed. On arrival the room wasn't ready (about 1.30pm) so we walked to the millenium stadium and watched the gp practise. we got back to the hotel... more
