Jolyons has good rooms, lively bar, and fine breakfast. But the best thing about it is the location on Cardiff Bay, in walking distance of a terrific range of bars and restaurants overlooking the bay.

Stayed in the summer when visiting friends and the hotel had just opened. Room was cute but folding door with gaps wasn't great when you are away with a new partner. We had the discounted starting rate of £70 which was quite competitive for Cardiff but I see it has since increased. Negatives? Parking was far far away and the... More

The best location for the Mllenium Centre and restaurants in the bay area. Our bedroom was great (4 poster included) and a large bathroom well appointed. Breakfast downstairs in the morning a real traditional feast and well cooked. I would certanly stay again but remember it is a boutique hotel and therefore don't expect the amenities associated with the usual... More

LoveLy room beautiful designer bath very comfortable and good welcome.Breakfast better than dinner but all of a good standard. A welcome change for a business traveller .doesn't look much from the outside but a lovely stay I will use again when in the area

A little gem in the heart of Cardiff Bay. Never judge a book by it's cover as behind the big door we were greeted by a lovely warm clean reception area, and friendly staff. Room (loved the Edwardian furniture) and bathroom spotless (coffee terrible). Stayed overnight as went to show in Millenium Centre, had a few drinks in the Bar... More

I agree with the 'Good, but not £100 good' review, but will go a little further on why we rate it Poor. We shared a similar experience on arrival - after three rings of the doorbell, the chef appeared, friendly enough, said no-one front of house was around until after 3 (again, despite booking.com say checkin was 2.30pm). He managed... More

We were recommended Jolyon's by some Welsh based friends for a brief overnight stay for a get-together and to celebrate a few friends birthdays in Cardiff. From the exterior Jolyon's certainly doesn't look anything special, and we were wary. We arrived at the hotel to no answer at the door and no one around, we eventually located someone but were...

This pretty botique hotel is freindly and clean.It had a good breakfast with a wide choice and close to everything in the bay. I would recommend and will return soon. Ideal for a romantic short break.

Upon arriving slightly earlier than check in time, we were warmly greeted and advised bags could be left and they would be taken to room when its ready. My Partner and I quickly dived into pub next door for a light lunch and drink before check In. Room. The room allocated to us was room No.1 and it was lovely... More
