"I have stayed at the Bear on several occasions and I always enjoy my visits. It's a wonderful place to relax, with comfortable rooms, good food and friendly and helpful staff. "
"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!"
"Fantastic stay only a short walk from Cardiff Main Station, Castle or City Center. Check-in with keyless code and key box. The whole accomodation has been renovated recently so everything is in very good condition. Highly recommendable"
"Comfortable stay, easy check-in, very kind and helpful front desk personnel and within 5-minute walk to Cardiff Castle, restaurants (Pasture and The Welsh House) and 8-minute walk to Bute Park! Best location, everything within walking distance. "

Park Plaza Cardiff
10/10 Excellent
"We got a great welcome on arrival. Staff were really helpful. The pool is very nice in particular with the outside deck area. The dining room is also lovely with super accommodating staff - we felt very welcome with all of our children. The food was great especially the fish and chips. "
"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 "
"Very nice hotel by the Bay Area and huge room. Has everything you need and plenty of free parking. Close to Cardiff centre with a short taxi ride away if you don’t fancy half an hour walk."
"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!"
