Cardiff Hilton Hotel
Excellent service and we were offered a free upgrade to an Executive suite, which was amazing and gave us lots of space for our family of 4. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful during our stay. When we stay in Cardiff again we will book the same hotel.

I booked this hotel as on hotels.com it said it had a deep soak bathtub. This is what sold this room to me. When we got to the hotel, there was a shower in the room. When I asked about the bath I was told that there is only one room in the hotel with a bath and thats on first come first served. I feel like I misold.

Nice hotel No parking
Hotel room itself is excellent but they now no longer have parking facilities (last time I stayed there, there was underground parking for £5-10/day) and you are charged a whopping £30 a day to park at the nearest recommended carpark.

Lovely rooms , pool, not so much
Hotel and room were really first class and clearly recently refurbished
The only negatives were the pool area which is so run down and tired and there was only one working lift which meant long waits for breakfast and check out

Great castle access and views and convenient o
Very good experience. Close proximity to city and castle.
Issue was the elevator out for the entire time that made entry and exit stranded / difficult - we stayed 6 days and it was out the entire time and other who stayed there regularly indicated it was regularly like this.

Great to have a pool, and gym facilities. Parking options not immediately clear, so ended up parking in NCP car park nearby. Great location a short walk from city centre bars, restaurants and shops.
