Cardiff Marriott Hotel

The lobby area is convenient for hanging out and getting work done also

Carpets and furniture a bit dated, but did what I needed it for. Good location, great staff.

Great location and the staff were super helpful (Richard) they have a car park that was gated and secure, watch out for the seagulls on the top floor of the car park as they are nesting there. Breakfast was excellent and a great selection. The bar service was excellent too!

No air conditioning in the rooms or at all at the hotel. The fan that they put in the rooms wasn’t powerful enough to circulate the air around the room, window only opened a fraction of it which meant even at night the room was humid and hot. They had extra water but there was no offer of discount or compromise. The fact that there was no pre-warning that there was no air-conditioning and it’s not like we had a choice to go to another hotel in such short notice as such information was only provided when we were checking in. Very disappointing but breakfast in the morning was good.

Overall, the location is good. However, getting to the hotel is a challenge for drivers. Due to a GPS error, I took an extra turn and was caught by a camera, resulting in a fine. Later, I spotted the brown "Marriott Hotel" signs on the road, directing me to the hotel. When driving, you don't have time to properly check your surroundings. Be extremely careful when driving! Definitely the best breakfast. Moreover, I had free parking at the hotel. It was extremely hot outside during my trip. The room's built-in air conditioning, despite being set to the lowest possible setting (+18°C), was blowing hot air. Opening the window slightly didn't help, and it was impossible to sleep.

The air conditioning was broken throughout the hotel. And it was the hottest day on record for the uk in May at 35 oc. At first thought it was a joke when I check-in. The hotel window opened 6 inches and the large window made it like a greenhouse. I slept (badly) with a wet towel over the top of me. It was so hot I could barely breathe.

Unfortunately we arrived on an extremely hot today to be told the air conditioning was not working and there was a fan in our room. The a/c was expected to be fixed the following day but this did not happen and it was out for the 3 nights we were there. The room was really warm and it made for very uncomfortable sleeping. The hotel offered free parking to compensate but this did not feel proportionate given the impact on the experience. The location was great for the variety of restaurants and shops.

Unfortunately on arrival we were informed that they had no aircon in the hotel and had been experiencing problems the last couple of days and that there were fans in the room. Bearing in mind it was the hottest week of the year and they didn’t contact us before hand to inform us to give us the option of cancelling, we was disappointed with this and obvs didn’t sleep much at all as the fan was pretty useful. However although there was no offer of a refund or compensation they did allow us to park in their car park for free and leave extra water in the room. We have stayed at this hotel before and we have enjoyed our stay and it’s a good location, just disappointed not to be contacted before we arrived as we would have changed hotels due to the temperature as we had already struggled at home all week to sleep with the heat.

So wasn’t told until I checked in and paid in full that the air conditioning was broken, so I spent 2 nights trying to sleep in a furnace as the fan that was provided was useless, the fridge in the room was also broken so the water they put in there was also warm, an awful experience as I was told it had been down since Friday of last week and the hotel made ZERO effort to let guests know as there wouldn’t have been a hope in hell of me staying there if I had known. This hotel clearly only cares about their bottom line as oddly the AC was working fine in the gym and restaurant but not the rooms. Awful experience, one I won’t be repeating

Air con not working on the hottest day of the year! So didn’t stay. Staff very understanding and credited the room.

Staff were friendly and main area is maintained. I was put in a room with a new mattress they were trialling and had to ask to move rooms as it was like laying on a wooden board. Staff moved me straight away with no issues, although the old mattresses in the new room wasn't much better. Room was clean enough and ok for a 1 night stay. Main issue was the loud music keeping me awake till 3am, the windows did nothing to keep the noise out and sounded like I was in the club myself. It was a Mon/Tues night stay so I did not expect the noise. Wouldn't recommend or stay here again.

Clean room, comfortable bed. Staff friendly and pleasant. Lovely bar area especially outside in the sun

Close to city center. Very helpful staffs.

The air conditioning was broken and it was hot so room was bad as very hot with no air movement

Great location. Rooms were hot and air conditioning wasn’t working, although a fan was provided in each room. Hotel can’t help the weather being warm, but we struggled with the heat in the room even with the window open

Lovely hotel in Cardiff

Stayed in a standard double room, comfy bed, good shower, clean room and staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. Had a roast dinner in the browns restaurant, could be better considering how nice the dining area actually was to sit in. Nice pint of estrella though

Good location breakfast a bit expensive

The staff as always were extremely friendly and helpful, we mentioned it was our wedding anniversary and we went out after checking in and when we came back they had left a card, a bar of chocolate and a bottle of wine in our room! What a lovey gesture, excellent t customer service!

Lovely stay however we were disappointed with breakfast . Only natural no flavoured yoghurt
