Hotel berhampiran Cardiff Castle, Castle

We stayed at the Hilton Cardiff for four days at the end of March 2023. We really enjoyed our stay! The people at reception made us feel very welcomed, and couldn’t have been nicer! ALL of the people who work here were extremely friendly and helpful. We wanted to give a special thank you to Mark, the night manager. He was always cheerful - at the beginning AND at the end of his shift in the morning, which is not easy! He even kindly got us a bucket of ice very early one morning when my wife hurt her knee as she was stepping out of bed and the bed rolled away from her. We spoke to Mark about the incident, and hopefully, by now, they have fixed the “rolling coasters with no brakes on the box springs” problem. Mark was so kind and concerned about her fall that he checked on her twice - right after the incident and even the next day, which was the last day of our stay. The breakfast buffet had an excellent variety of hot and cold food offerings and was maintained to perfection by the attentive and efficient staff! The buffet was hosted by Bassam, who was very personable and interesting to talk with. The executive lounge was lovely, with beverages and a few snacks available throughout the day. There is an evening manager’s reception and some savory finger foods were offered each night. Our room had a stunning view of Cardiff Castle and the castle grounds! We would happily return to Hilton Cardiff, and we thank them for making our stay really memorable and pleasant. As a side note, we took the Cardiff Castle Ghost Tour and highly recommend it! It’s great to be able to tour the castle at night, and the two hosts were full of fun facts and historical information about the beautiful and “over the top” decor of the castle!

It’s a decent place if you’re looking for super cheap accommodation. I was hoping the room would have some amenities. But overall it was a decent place. Near from Cardiff Queen Station but quite a walk from central station.

My wife and I came to celebrate our anniversary with a spa day and as it was my birthday we decided to book the room for the night. We were absolutely amazed. Not only were the staff absolutely awesome, but they give us an upgrade plus free breakfast and when we got to the room we were greeted with rose petals on the bed, Welsh cakes on a slate and cards for our anniversary and birthday. All in all they really went out of their way and it made our stay absolutely incredible. I can’t thank the staff enough. We would highly recommend staying there

My mum and I had a wonderful time staying here! We were given adjoining rooms and it was so lovely to be able to pop in and see each other, whilst also having our own lovely space to stay in! It was a great location, had more than we even thought we needed but it made the visit so comfortable and nice for us!

Everything was on our expectations from 3 star. Room size was spacious. Kids can stay free. Breakfast was served fresh and everything available as per needed. Location was central which helped us reaching to main attractions easily. I would recommend.

Check in staff were lovely. The room excellent and very warm and clean. I will book again without hesitation. 3 minutes walk to the railway station and shops etc.

We have been staying at Cwrt Bleddyn for 35 years and have seen many changes over the years but one thing has always remained constant- the welcome and friendliness of the staff. As I read some of the reviews it appears that I’m staying in a different place! Our room has always been spotless and today before we left we enjoyed the most delicious breakfast. Yes the place needs a bit of a tidy up and I feel sure the new owner will be onto it very soon. We thank everyone there for welcoming us and catering for our every need. See you all again soon C and M

Always very clean. Staff welcoming and friendly. Rooms all clean with towels, extra pillows, toiletries and plenty of storage & room spacious. One issue though that is not very nice when on ground level is the access route through/from a wooded area for non guests of hotel. On this occasion we encountered a few kids (a long way off of being men) that kicked about a ball with no care for the impact on our window. Early hours found also a Male and female (not guests) slurring drunken words of hate to each other and totally ok with treating the route as a toilet and like they owned it. I did then let my voice be heard and to move away or be removed...sad to say that! The hotel must fence the area and allow paying guest privacy and security. These few people have let down a community and shown themselves as vile people to foreigners, children and visitors alike.

A great reasonably priced hotel. Excellently located to access either Swansea or Cardiff. The staff were exceptional, especially the receptionist who was so helpful throughout our stay. I would totally recommend staying at this hotel.

First stay here and will definitely return. 3rd stay at a Mercure brand hotel and cannot fault any! Bridgewater is a pleasant town with plenty of places to enjoy and pass the time. The hotel is spotlessly clean, rooms are very nice with excellent air conditioning if you need it! Comfortable beds, all mod cons including Samsung TV, USB sockets by the beds, ambient lighting, storage well thought out, small fridge, room service, fabulous bathrooms with waterfall shower and lovely extras such as decent shower wash and hair wash, make up/shaving mirror with lighting. Very secure hotel with 24 hour reception and lift only operable with key cards. Didn't try the hotel restaurant but judging by the volume of people eating there I'd assume very good! Nothing to fault!
