Top Bridgend Hotel Reviews
Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff
"Room is very small. Hotel is right beside the train tracks so you can hear the rhythm of be trains crossing the final bridge into station. Location is great right beside station and at end of St Mary street."
Village Hotel Cardiff
"The lady who was working this morning at 07:30 at reception was very helpful and took care of me, much appreciated."
The Angel Hotel
"Easy check in, staff polite. Room was clean but dated but have stayed there before and knew that. The room we had previously was better, this room quite small. Breakfast was fab. Central location, near all nightlife and bars Definitely stay here again. Didn't use bar at hotel so cant commented on that."
Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG
"Excellent stay. Lovely rooms and great staff. Could improve on lumpy pillows and spotty wifi (at least in my room)"
The Coal Exchange Hotel
"Was a really nice place to stay had a dark vibe about it like haunted but loved it such a lovely sleep and building"
The Parkgate Hotel
"This is a very good hotel, location, price, service, excellent restaurant and amenities. Close to the train station and to the center of town. Stay there if you travel to Cardiff."
Park Plaza Cardiff
"Really friendly hotel and a lovely room. Very much enjoyed our stay while we had building work going on in our home."
The Great House Hotel & Restaurant
"The hotel is situated on a main road just outside of Bridgend. The building is rustic with a quaint charm that puts you instantly at ease. The lady on reception was really warm and helpful. My room was lovely and clean and the bathroom had both a shower and deep soak bath. The bed has this amazing mattress which was so soft that it enveloped you like a marshmallow and provided one of th best night's sleep I have had in a long while. Breakfast was cooked perfectly with ingredients of a quality you can tell they are locally sourced. The only drawbacks were I couldn't get the shower to provide hot water but the bath took care of that and the lock on the door got stuck meaning it was difficult to leave the room at times and could provide a hazard in the vent of a fire. Otherwise it was an idyllic stay."
Days Inn by Wyndham Bridgend Cardiff M4
"Clean room including bathroom, great location."
