"The cottage is cosy and warm and has all the necessary facilities to have an enjoyable stay. The kitchen is well appointed, the shower has good pressure, the beds are comfortable and the Netflix (and lots of other channels) worked well. The wifi reception isn’t super strong however it worked fine. There are lovely walks from the property and Neath is close by. There is comprehensive info on local shops, history and restaurants etc. Would definitely recommend."

Top Bridgend Hotel Reviews

The Coal Exchange Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Hotel is very interesting with quirky rooms."

Clayton Hotel Cardiff

8/10 Good

"Just a few minutes away from train and bus station. Very convenient"

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were lovely and attentive. Hotel was in a great spot in the city centre with lots to do and a great view of the castle. Room was lovely and perfect for our stay"

Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday

8/10 Good

"Parking not included, have to book and pay using Just Park (limited spaces). Only the gym appears to be free, the pool and spa need to be paid for. Queen room was large with a nice deep bath. The room felt a little tired; minor holes in curtains, carpet not in the best condition, bath robes rough on the skin. Only 3 coffee pods in a room for 2 people which was a bit odd. I was staying alone so it was okay for me. Additional instant coffee on a tray in the cupboard. Toilet roll thin and poor quality, maybe because the plumbing doesn't cope with thicker paper? Toilet roll holder wobbly and coming away from the wall. Overall a nice enough room but felt expensive at £125 a night (Saturday) with parking costs on top plus having to pay for swimming pool."

Park Plaza Cardiff

8/10 Good

"I’ve been staying at this hotel since 2010, and it’s always been our go‑to place when visiting Cardiff. We’ve loved it for so long that even our now 11 year old looks forward to staying here. The staff are consistently helpful, the location is ideal, and the facilities have always contributed to a really enjoyable stay. However, this is the first visit where I’ve felt the hotel is overdue for a refurbishment. The rooms and bathrooms are showing their age, and the spa facilities in particular need attention. The changing rooms look very tired, and the rainfall shower experience is barely functioning. One additional point, although not the hotel’s fault, is the walk from the city centre. The area now has a large number of homeless individuals, and while I understand the complexity of the issue, it did make the walk back feel uncomfortable when I was alone with my son in the late evening."

Mercure Swansea Hotel

8/10 Good

"A lovely hotel for our 2 day stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Great for a base to see local attractions. Rooms were clean and tidy. Bar and bar staff good."

Days Inn by Wyndham Bridgend Cardiff M4

8/10 Good

"Great budget hotel for a quick stopover. Convenient, clean and great staff."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

8/10 Good

"Room is very small. Hotel is right beside the train tracks so you can hear the rhythm of be trains crossing the final bridge into station. Location is great right beside station and at end of St Mary street."

Village Hotel Cardiff

8/10 Good

"The lady who was working this morning at 07:30 at reception was very helpful and took care of me, much appreciated."
