When my husband and I first viewed Llechwen Hall as a potential venue for our wedding, we instantly fell in love with it. The breathtaking views, coupled with the hotel’s blend of classic charm and modern style, made it clear to us that this was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The beauty of the venue was simply undeniable, and we were thrilled to book Llechwen Hall as our wedding venue. However, our planning experience with Llechwen Hall was a mix of highs and lows. While there were many positive moments, we did encounter some challenges, primarily due to miscommunication caused by a turnover of wedding coordinators. Unfortunately, this led to some frustration as we found ourselves having to repeat details and discussions that had not been passed on to the new coordinators. For example, from the beginning, we had discussed and stated the importance of having a spacious room for the morning of the wedding to accommodate all of our bridesmaids, myself, and our mothers. As the wedding date approached, we discovered that there was no record of this request, and all the larger rooms in the hotel were already occupied. This was a significant source of stress and disappointment. Despite this setback, we must commend Megan and Rachel for their efforts in securing the Llanfabon Suite for us on the morning of the wedding. They went above and beyond to decorate the room beautifully, allowing us all to get ready together, which was truly appreciated. One particularly concerning incident occurred when we called the venue to make a payment towards our wedding. Shockingly, we were told that there was no record of our wedding being booked at all. This was incredibly alarming, especially considering that by this point, we had already paid a substantial amount toward the total cost. After a tense conversation, it turned out that the receptionist had mistakenly been looking at the wrong year. While this was eventually resolved, it caused us considerable anxiety, raising doubts about the venue’s attention to detail on even the simplest matters. Fast forward to the evening of our wedding, and unfortunately, another issue arose. Toward the later part of the night, I (the groom) ordered a pint at the bar, only to be told that I was not allowed a glass and could only have a paper cup. As you can imagine, a pint in a paper cup was frothy and undrinkable. Frustrated, I expressed my displeasure, stating, ”This is my wedding,” and a member of our wedding party rightly pointed out that after spending so much on the event, the least they could do was provide a proper glass. It was only after this that they finally gave me a glass, but this should never have been an issue in the first place. That said, I want to emphasize how grateful we are for the support we received from Megan, our final wedding coordinator. Megan was amazing—helpful, kind, and truly dedicated to making our wedding day special. She turned what had been a stressful planning process into

The Positives! Reception was very friendly and extremely helpful, allowing us to check in well before 3pm. Both ladies from house keeping that I came across could not have been more helpful. Restaurant staff were pleasant, efficient and served well cooked food that was nicely presented by the chef. The bedroom was spacious with a comfortable bed and well equipped bathroom. I was impressed by the inclusion of a table and chairs to sit at with a drink whilst watching the good sized television. The negatives1 Torn wallpaper and marks on the wall. Although on the third floor you can't sleep with a window open for all the traffic noise below. To the credit of the hotel they are hosting families from Ukraine but this causes its own problems. We were the only non-Ukraine guests using the restaurant on our first night and had our peace disturbed by the children being allowed to run around making a noise in the adjoining foyer. As the children need to get to school they have an early breakfast so consequently we arrived at 8.30 to find all the fruit salad and croissants gone. There was only one glass left for fruit juice and all the bread for toast had been eaten. This is a simple matter of logistics which the hotel should be addressing. Finally, due to a no smoking policy the Ukraine adults gathered in small groups outside the entrance to smoke which not only created a poor image but they were reluctant to move, requiring other guests to walk around or through them!

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!

Excellent friendly obliging staff, though the next time we book to stay here we'll be sure to ask to be at the back of the hotel, away from the main road and car park. The room needed airing but it didn't feel right to leave our bedroom window open as we spent the day on Barry Island, before catching an early flight. Didn't eat there due to dietary requirements and they were good enough to put a small something in their fridge to cater for my wife's needs. Convenient bus stops outside the hotel, cabs available as well, though we walked to the airport as it was a nice day and we were early, with little traffic on the Sunday.

Right next to the train station and within walking distance of the main shopping street. The reception staff were extremely friendly and helped me check in despite my early arrival. The reception was always manned even when the doors are locked at night. A few guests forgot their key and the staff would come out to help. Very quiet and cleanliness was top notched. Exceeded by expectations as a basic functional hotel. Will definitely book with the Sleeperz chain again.

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!

High price - especially when you have to pay for your overnight parking (I paid £17.00) and then if you want to have a swim it'll cost you another tenner! Cheeky buggers. Staff very pleasant and our room, although a bit 'tired' was spacious and light with a super comfy bed. Restaurant - staff again very pleasant but I was rather confused about my dinner wich consisted on half a plate of saute potatoes, a chicken schnitzel and a large bowl of cherry tomatoes. That's it. Chicken cooked perfectly, saute potatoes weren't actually saute, just deep fried slices and what I was supposed to do with so many tomatoes I have no idea but it was a pretty boring dinner and I would recommend it.

My mum and I had a wonderful time staying here! We were given adjoining rooms and it was so lovely to be able to pop in and see each other, whilst also having our own lovely space to stay in! It was a great location, had more than we even thought we needed but it made the visit so comfortable and nice for us!
