Good job its a spa - I arrived much relaxed after a 30 min row with Cardiff Council Parking 'Operatives' (as per other comments inadequate Hotel CP was full by early evening.) Upfront you'll need £7 in coins, notes/credit cards don't work, no parking by phone option, emergency number won't answer or call back & 2 wardens patrolling won't help... More

I stayed here for my boyfriends birthday last night and for the huge amount I paid for this hotel I was expecting more - yes the room was nice and clean (with a great view) but it seemed a little bland to me. I had told the hotel beforehand that it was my boyfriends birthday thinking they may at least... More

This hotel is in a great position in a lovely part of the city and being 5star should be ideal for those looking for somewhere special to celebrate a family or personal event. Unfortunately the promise did not live up to expectations. Our room was extremely hot on arrival, it only had one armchair, the air condition made a constant... More

Back from a very enjoyable 2 night stay at the St. David's Hotel and Spa. Nice room and comfy bed. Loved the balcony and the great views of Cardiff Bay. Breakfast excellent and we had great service in the bar. Spa was very nice - treatment excellent. Location great with lots of restaurants at the Mermaid Quay. Easy 25 -... More

Had two days in Cardiff recently and opted for St David's Spa Hotel. Was my birthday and wanted to feel pampered so booked some spa treatments. Bliss. can recommend treatments for general feeling of relaxation. Great also to be able to swim in the pool and take advantage of some of the spa facilities. All staff very welcoming and helpful....

Stayed for two nights - good Concierge Service - distant & disinterested Reception Staff. Zero Warmth, Luxury or Comfort - in foyer area - makes you a little apprehensive as to what rooms will be like (ambience akin to Office Block or Modern Hospital). Room basic - bed comfortable - little else to comment on - no minibar or anything... More

Enjoyed my 4 day stay at the St. David's Hotel in early April, 2013. Good service, excellent room service and food. Nice room, bed. Very good size, lots of room. Loved the balcony and the Great views of Cardiff Bay. Location handy to lots of restaurants at the Mermaid Quay. Easy 25 - 30 minute walk downtown. Enjoyable stay.

Spent 2 nites in hotel in early May, 2013. Part of a week-long visit to Wales. Hotel was wonderful and spa facilities/personnel great. Parking at 10 pounds/nite was a little excessive. Prices for room, facilities and food were as expected. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Rooms are ok but nothing much better that a Premier Inn, the beds are more comfortable though. Service in the bar area is VERY SLOW, not particually busy but had to wait 15 minutes and still no service so had to go and find someone although lots of staff milling around, bar covered in cups, glasses and plates for long...
