Hotels in Cardiff with Swimming Pools

Anniversary and birthday. Beautiful hotel looking over Cardiff Bay /Penarth. We had a room overlooking the bay on the 7th floor. Stunning views. Used the Spa and really enjoyed the hydrotherapy funnels. Try and avoid child swim times if you want a little peace. Breakfast was vast offering everything you could possibly need. Catering for vegans too. Lovely stay

The bed was comfy and the shower very good. Unfortunately that’s where the good parts end. Room was ok, carpet not particularly clean and the room was not serviced. When I asked I was told that the beds were not made but towels and tea/coffee were replenished- this had not happened. We were all awoken at 5am with the unbelievable noisy bins being emptied. Food average and for a hotel not badly priced. Breakfast ok but little choice as far as healthy options were concerned.Staff very helpful and friendly on the bar but did not have a clue about drinks. Left white wine out on the counter so it was not cold and at £11 a glass this was not on. The bar was noisy in the evenings with loud music or sport on the screen so not relaxing at all. Overall this is set up for working people where the company pays for the stay so guest generally not too bothered about the quality of the stay. Would not stay again unless I had to on business.

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 was a nice stay. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. The parking space was full but he helped us find a parking space. Would definitely stay with them again.
