"We had a lovely stay at Parador 44. This boutique hotel is conveniently located. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nicely arranged and the super size shower was wonderful.

"We were in Cardiff for a concert. It is a fun event city. We likened the downtown atmosphere to the Fremont Street of the U.K.
The city center has the train station, shopping, dining and nightlife, all within walking or Uber distance of Novotel.
This historic hotel has a great aesthetic, fantastic food, friendly staff and nice, clean rooms. Would definitely stay here again!"
"I stay at the Glendale regularly to visit my daughter and granddaughter who live nearby. It is a lovely hotel above an Italian restaurant with very convenient access to Penarth train station with regular trains into nearby Cardiff.

"I had requested no feather bedding at the time of booking due to my wife’s severe allergy. Annoying on arrival the bedding was feather- it was changed quickly but my wife was aready starting to have allergy symptoms when it should have feather free on arrival "
"Delicious breakfast - both buffet style and with a few other dishes you can order off a small menu. Room was super clean and the shower was fantastic! Definitely recommend this if you are visiting Cardiff - it’s 5 minutes away from the castle and 5 minutes to the train that can take you down to the bay. Everyone was so nice and it’s a good value for the money. Slight inconvenience- the parking is in a big city garage a few blocks away so getting your luggage to/from is cumbersome. But everything else more than made up for it!"

To quote Mr Arnolde Shwarzenegger "I'll be back" and will be promoting Cardiff Clayton Hotel and Hospitality Team to my family, friends, and professional collegues for a stay/Cardiff trip."
