Very basic room, which is dated. Lots of stairs to get to room which are steep. No communication from staff. Water in shower not great.

Clean room with very comfortable bed but tired room decor and furniture, and essentials like loo brush, soap or bins in bathroom missing. But, very lovely restaurant below with great atmosphere and amazing authentic pizzas and pastas

The room was spotless with new fixtures and fittings. Staff were friendly and accomodating. There is a bar and a breakfast room. The room was quiet and the double bed was roomy. We were on the 2nd floor so a little tricky getting up with suitcases etc.

no one to check you in or out and noisy

Rooms were quite clean, and the hotel is

Pretty basic and not well maintained

I'm going to be honest, I've stayed in far more friendlier, welcoming places than the Glendale. The room was on the second floor up some steep stairs, so if you are struggling with fitness or a disability, this is not the place for you. The room was shabby and the bathroom was accessed by two steps. I declined breakfast because I felt at £15, it was rather expensive.

Super accueil, chaleureux, chambres propres

Easy check in with a genuine welcome. Room as described with plenty of tea and coffee. The restaurant was excellent with great service.

I stay at the Glendale regularly to visit my daughter and granddaughter who live nearby. It is a lovely hotel above an Italian restaurant with very convenient access to Penarth train station with regular trains into nearby Cardiff. It has both single and double size rooms and I usually choose a single. The rooms are well appointed with rather basic shower facilities, tea & coffee etc. a very nice full cooked English breakfast is available (extra) and of course there is the very convenient excellent restaurant downstairs. The owner/manager is very friendly and chatty.

Well sited next to station & comfortable. Parking is limited to street with a 2 hour maximum until 18.30

Single room 11 was very noisy. The water pipes for the main tank run through the room, and as the hotel was busy, the water was constantly running. This had not stopped at 23.40; and started again at 6am. Not much sleep! I complained, but no action taken.

Have stayed here a few times and find it very comfortable, both the singles and doubles. Really lovely staff and great location.

Room a bit jaded but comfortable

The property is what you expect, a 2 star hotel, I stayed in single bed with en-suite, Overall the room was clean and I had a comfortable stay.

Single room booked and it was a single bed too. The ceiling fan hit the wall/ceiling on every rotation which was very annoying

It was for one night so it was fine. Thought the bedroom looked very tired & stains on ceiling & bedside lamps. The bed was too dofy & very rickety.

Good location for train station and local walks; you can walk into Cardiff via the Cardiff Barrage walkway. Basic hotel with clean bed linen, (small) bath towels and plenty of hot water for a bath!

Good service, but the hotel maybe needs a renovation?

The bed was really comfy. The room, including the carpet, was very clean. The decor is a bit tired in places (faded curtains and tatty bathroom). The TV is tiny. There was no floor towel in the bathroom so ask for one when you check in.
