Hotels Near The Riverfront in Stow Hill

When first checking in, as much as the woman on reception was lovely, for some reason I was told because I was from around the area that I had to speak with the manager and potentially wouldn't of been able to stay because it. I was not informed this would be an issue on the booking.com site nor was I told about a £100 deposit? I had come down for the night due to work going on at my house and wanted a break. I understood but felt like it was a criminal matter to of booked? I also have not received my deposit back like promised? A shame as it was a lovely designed apartment, not enough towels and a shame you cant open the windows but it was a convenient location for myself, and still impressed with the bathroom and bed.

Cannot fault accommodation and service. Excellent room, food and staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Lovely place! Was beyond what i had expected! Staff are very nice. Situated in a nice area. Good night sleep with no noise from surroundings. Room was beautiful to stay in and quite modern too! I did not expect this at all. Will surely recommend.

Booked in 30th Aug - 2 Sept 22. (Room 226) On arrival was met by young man who was brilliant, explained everything and had a good laugh. The rest of the staff were of the same ilk, friendly and very helpful. Went into the room and first impressions were ok. The bed is a standard double. not good when you have a bed hogging wife. The sheets were clean and fresh and although small the bed was comfortable. They could do with putting plug sockets on both sides of the bed. Its a small bed so wouldn't need too much cabling. The bath is ok if you are a size 0, however, any larger, forget it. I couldn't get my lardy **** into it. But on the plus side, it was clean and tidy. Issues with the bathroom, Went I went for a tinkle in the middle of the night, I burnt my retinas out because the lights are super bright, not what you need at 0200hrs. maybe a night light or mirror light could be installed. A little more attention to the carpets would have been nice, found some shirt buttons that had been missed (previous occupant must have got lucky) because they were in different areas of the room. Breakfast, We went twice, first day at 0900hrs, it was ok, little on the cold side, went again on last day at 0800hrs and it was perfect. Tasty and hot. My biggest issue is the heat. the room was a sauna, I must have lost at least a stone. the fan given in the room is as much use as a chocolate fire guard. I hardly slept the three nights we were there as it was way too hot. even, the wife (who practically sits on a radiator) struggled. Wasn't the best hotel I've stayed in, but certainly not the worst . Over all 7.5/10

Environment (Figure 1): On a remote street in Cardiff, surrounded by residential areas (Figure 2), people who are new to the city need to use Google Maps to find it. The environment is good during the day. There is a bar downstairs. The hostess is very polite. I arrived late. She found my materials from the guest information and told the password to open the door, which was smooth Hygienic: No problem, very clean, the room is not big, there is a separate bathroom, booked a single room suitable for one person Other pictures show local castles and street buildings in Cardiff

Lauren was amazing - found us a room that we could check into around 7am when our flight was cancelled a couple of hours earlier. Lauren even printed our new boarding passes for us. Lovely staff member. Room was small but fine, no extra pillows were available though. Bathroom shower was lovely - very powerful :) Air con said 18 degrees but I’m not sure it was quite that cool. Location is excellent and great value for money. Again, kudos to Lauren! Remember - no restaurant on site but PLENTY of options on the doorstep!

The hotel was ideally situated near to the city centre but also a short walk from Cardiff Bay. We had a warm welcome at reception.The room was pristine, lots of space and equipment. Our balcony on the top floor had a fantastic view. Breakfast was excellent - loads of choice and plenty of space.

Excellent hotel in great location on the sea front and not far from the town centre. Our room was the largest we’ve ever had. Large bedroom with good size en-suite bathroom. Separate seating area with table and two chairs, very large dressing table and a large tv. There was also a separate dressing room/wardrobe room with full length mirror. Ample cupboards and wardrobes. The whole building well maintained and decorated. All the staff without exception were excellent. All very friendly, smiling and helpful. Food was good and plentiful. Entertainment on two nights by singer Simon Kelly and singer/comedian Micky Bull was the best we’ve ever had. Wouldn’t hesitate to use this hotel again. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The hotel was excellent, when we first arrived the reception area was very busy, but the staff were very polite, and took the time to explain to each guest how to use the cards to the rooms. The room and hotel were very clean and smelt fresh, our room only had a shower, when i returned to main reception and asked for a room with a bath, Michael working at the main desk was very polite, friendly, well mannered and when above and beyond to find us a room that fitted our needs, our stay was very pleasant and because of Michaels professional attitude towards the guests we have already decide to return in the summer. so if you need a place to relax and enjoy WSM book this hotel, thank you to all the staff who work over the festive season. The hotel was good value for the money, and has a high recommendation from us if you are planning a vist to WSM, 7 minutes to the beach.
