"Not bad"

"Booked a “Superior” king room. The actual room was far from superior! Aged aluminium windows, and air conditioning broken. Had to leave the window ajar, because so hot in room, and woken by street noise at 2-3am, even on 10th floor. Had requested help from front desk with air conditioning when arrived and was told it would be fixed while I was out. Called when back in room 3 hrs later and it was still not working and was told that actually it had been broken in the whole hotel (except mezzanine floor level) for at least 24 hrs before my arrival and would not be fixed in my stay. They promised to send a fan to room; it didn’t arrive. I stayed at a Premier Inn a week later (half the price; admittedly not in Cardiff city) and the room was better for sleep. On the more positive side, location in centre of city is great, and good breakfast selection and nice bar area."

"Loved our stay. Well looked after by staff and great location for our plans"

"Great location with parking. Lovely staff and reception area, bar and restaurant. Rooms could do with updating but otherwise great location and value"

"The room was beautiful and spotless however some of the furniture was a little worn but it added character. They had the tea and coffee box well stocked and not with just the standard tea and coffee but with the flavoured tea and decaf coffee plus they had shower gel, shampoo and conditioner as well as if you had forgotten anything you could ask for a guest pack (toothpaste, toothbrush, razors etc). On our first day we had and issue with the iron leaking, light blinking and not warming up so contacted reception and a brand new one was delivered to our room immediately. What we weren't made aware of is there was a £50 deposit upon arrival (not including what we had already paid for staying there). The staff are very friendly, they had live entertainment on Saturday night and there's 3 ways to eat at the hotel (room service, Ribs grill and bar food). Thank you for the comfortable stay."

"Fantastic stay. The smell when you walk into the lobby is wonderful. The staff at check in were friendly and just lovely. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. Pillows not so great - but I am fussy with pillows. Bar is great. Highly recommend a stay here "

"Lovely big comfy beds. Staff very friendly and approachable. Breakfast was amazing lovely crispy bacon."

"Strategic and centrally located in city centre, yet it's very quiet. 5 to 10 minutes to intercity bus stop, particularly if you use Flix bus. The bus stop is around the corner. Cardiff is buzzing city, plenty eatery places and cafes. Excellent breakfast at the hotel. Highly recommend it"

"Enjoyed our overnight stay in the Celtic Manor and had time to recharge our batteries. The male member of staff at Reception was exceptional! (Sorry we didn't make a note of his name.) He was particularly welcoming, helpful and informative about all amenities available and booked all the little extras for us. The staff at 'The Grill' were also great, where we enjoyed a tasty meal in a relaxing atmosphere. Additionally, the breakfast offered plenty of variety the following morning. We opted to pay extra for a room with a balcony, however, although it was clean, comfortable and looked nice enough, on close inspection it needed a make-over and a lot of TLC. The balcony was shoddy and the door leading out to it didn't close properly so it was draughty. However, the worst experience for us during this visit was the pool and spa. Despite booking our 'slot', it was full to the brim. There were adults and children diving in to the pool even though there were lifeguards on duty and signs to discourage this. The steam room and jacuzzi / hot tubs were also jammed packed, and so were impossible to sample and enjoy. This aspect was disappointing and unacceptable."
