My stay at the Hilton Cardiff was quite enjoyable overall. The central location made it easy to explore the city, and the spacious room was comfortable and well-kept. However, the dining options could use some improvement, as I found the breakfast a bit pricey for what was on offer. Still, the staff was incredibly helpful, contributing positively to my experience.

The Cardiff Hilton is a stylish hotel with an impressive range of amenities and friendly service that often goes the extra mile. My room was spacious and very clean, but I did have some trouble with noise from nearby clubs at night. The dining options were decent, with a great breakfast buffet, but there were some hiccups with the facilities that could use improvement. Overall, it offers great value for a central location in Cardiff, but be prepared for the nightlife nearby.

My stay at the Hilton Cardiff was absolutely delightful, with exceptional staff who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location is perfect, right next to Cardiff Castle and other attractions. The room was stunning with all the amenities you'd expect from a luxury hotel, but I found the bar's beverage selection a bit lacking. Overall, it was great value for money, especially with a heartfelt upgrade to a more luxurious accommodation.

I had a lovely stay at the Hilton Cardiff, especially enjoying the warm gesture for my daughter's birthday upon arrival. The rooms were spacious and clean, perfect for a family, although the view was not impressive. The location is exceptional, right in the heart of everything, including the stunning Cardiff Castle. I was pleased with the breakfast variety, but the Executive Lounge felt a bit crowded at times. Overall, a great experience with a few minor areas for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently situated near Cardiff Castle, which is fantastic for exploring the city. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness and upkeep of the room and bathroom, which detracted from the overall experience. The breakfast buffet was acceptable, and the staff were very warm and accommodating throughout my stay. Unfortunately, for the price, I expected a bit more in terms of room quality and facilities.
Rooms

The room was clean but lacked attention to detail; I found hair in the corner and some stains in the bathroom. While it had what I needed, it felt very basic and outdated compared to what I expect from a hotel at this price point.
