Village Hotel Cardiff: Opinions

3.6/5 (200 Opinions)

Negative experience: "The party on December 22 was a lot of fun, and the venue was absolutely fantastic—the hall had such a great atmosphere! Unfortunately, the food was a letdown. It was cold, lacked flavor, and didn't seem fresh at all, almost like it had been prepared the day before. Definitely room for improvement in that area, but overall, the event was still enjoyable!"

Beth Rewbridge 9 months ago

Positive experience: Great place to meet for 3 families from different locations.

Lucia Moore 9 months ago

Negative experience: This hotel has no safes in the rooms, we did our Christmas shopping and on the last day of our stay, we realised that one of the employees had ransacked our cases and stole a brand new iPhone, the hotel did nothing to help. The door was still intact so not a break-in. Do not go to this hotel the cleaners go through your personal belongings and Village hotel doesn’t care.

Jordan Farrell 9 months ago

Negative experience: Stayed in the hotel for work purposes. Great facilities but unfortunately the hotel held events on during my stay and music playing very loud until 1am mid week. Very diasspointing as it was impossible to sleep through the loud music. Thought this was very unusual for a hotel to allow. Multiple complaints were made by the guests but still the music was not turned down

karen hennessy 9 months ago

Positive experience: Room whilst clean and spacious had old well used uncomfortable pillows, no glasses in bathroom, one plug socket near a mirror which was so difficult to access I couldn't use it, behind a very heavy desk. Dried hair with no mirror. The worst part was the location of the room over the function suite in full swing on a Monday night. Loud music till 11pm, but the very worst was the clearing up till past 1am with the sound of clanking furniture being wheeled around, dreadful nights sleep.as they knew mine was a business trip more thought could have been given to the location of the room. Staff were pleasant but at £111 per night for bed and breakfast, I will not be returning

Negative experience: We went to the Christmas panto event. The food was ok but not very nice. The panto was awful, full of adult innuendos, not funny, a cast of only 4, changing into different roles, it was loud and brash, and the theme was very thinly based on Cinderella. Next year the new theatre and burger king for us. The Santa was a. NIce touch though.

Dear Pamela, Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding our recent Christmas Panto event. I am sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We strive to create a festive and enjoyable atmosphere for all our guests, so it’s disappointing to learn that the panto content and food did not align with your preferences. Your comments regarding the performance, including the humor and storyline, have been noted and will be shared with our events team to consider for future improvements. I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed the addition of Santa, and I hope this brought some festive cheer to your visit. Your feedback is invaluable as we look to enhance our offerings and provide memorable experiences for all our guests. Thank you again for your comments Kind regards, Ashley Cruickshank

Fantastic experience: Water babies lessons Had a catch up lesson. The swimming pool Car park is massive and FREE parking for 4 hours no need to add your reg until after the free hours. (Other reviews seem to mention pricey parking but this is not so) Looked massive and clean when came in Starbucks added bonus for a snack after swim The changing rooms are pretty decent with male/female/family separation They had a swimsuit "dryer" it took care of most the water so it was not dripping everywhere. The pool was chilly but warmer then normal pools (probably due to the lessons) Pool looked amazing to relax in for a spa day too. Loads of different options and lanes.

Karen Brooks 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Staff were great, super friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Our rooms included access to pool which was great, nice big pool all one depth and plenty of seating all around. Clean and spacious changing rooms with plenty of lockers. We had breakfast before checking out, very good cooked breakfast as well as cereals, fruit, yoghurt, pastries, toast, juices, coffee and tea. Between us we tried it all and were very satisfied. The location was perfect for us coming to treforest from Gloucester and visiting Margam Park for the Luminate event, and Cardiff for shopping and a meal out. Parking was free as we arrived Friday evening and left Saturday morning. There’s a charge at other times. We were able to put our bags in a side room before we left, which was helpful. Check in and out was easy, the car park was a good size.

Dave Badsey 11 months ago

Negative experience: Well what can I say, if you like traffic noise and in my case random drilling and hamering noise because refurbishment are until 6pm, so don't book a teams meet before then. The food is excellent and waiting staff kind too, the bar staff are randomly rude to surly but hey, the rooms are smelly and they leave dirty towels behind bathroom door.

Fantastic experience: Cannot say what the rooms are like because we had a meeting there and had a session with a physio but can say the staff are friendly and helpful and the facilities ,like pool and gym, look amazing.

Ioan Gough 11 months ago

Positive experience: A quality hotel but at a premium cost, most staff are lovely. The gym is very big and there is everything you need. The pool is a really nice size but there are no deep ends. The Starbucks is also nice, just a bit small. The food in the restaurant is very tasty but expensive. But overall a nice place to stay and possibly to do work in the restaurant or the dedicated work area.

David Clark 1 year ago

Positive experience: We arrived on Friday the 4th of October, after a long stressful day, the staff at the Starbucks at 6pm were absolutely amazing with my wife who was overwhelmed by the day we had, had. I cannot praise them enough. Also the village receptionist was very helpful and understanding. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Richard Dare 1 year ago

Positive experience: Excellent place to stay, just watch the cost. Booked online and still had to pay more when we got there. So, bit costly overall.

Steve Morris 1 year ago

Positive experience: I've stayed a few times and generally very good. My only complaint is that it was very noisy late into the early hours at the weekend both nights due to functions. There were revellers up and down the corridors making noise in the early hours and no sign of any management/intervention so it continued for a long time and disturbed my family in both our rooms.

Mike B 1 year ago

Negative experience: £146+£5 parking for one night is too much for a very basic room with a broken window frame that doesn't close. Its also pretty noisy, pretty much everywhere. The breakfast doesn't have quality ingredients and I was charged for a drink in the bar I didn't have. Still waiting for a refund. Every member of staff was lovely though.

carl evans 1 year ago

Negative experience: Reception area and bar is very nice, Rooms are dated and could do with an upgrade especially with the prices they charge. Cleanliness of rooms not very good.

Mena Smith 1 year ago

Negative experience: The hotel and the team are lovely so I would recommend staying here but if you're a vegetarian eat somewhere else. That's why I have given a 2 star rating. I know from previous experience that vegetarian food is nowhere on the priority list of any Village hotel I have been to previously but my recent stay hit an all time low for extremely poor veggie food. The burger was listed as a beetroot burger with salad and fries and what I was served was uncooked rice covered in, what looked like, beetroot paste and squashed together in the shape of a pattie. It was inedible as the rice wasn't even remotely cooked so I took it back and asked for a refund. The team were very apologetic. It wasn't their fault so I wasn't going to have a go at them. They offered to cook me another one but I declined as having the same option again was a definite no. One of the service team said she was vegetarian also and advised that they had a soya based veggie burger available so I asked why that wasn't on the menu. She didn't know. As it was after 8pm by then I decided on a refund as the best and safest option. Vegetarian food is not a new concept in 2024 but to be served something this bad was a shock. The fact that a chef thought that was acceptable as a vegetarian burger is very concerning.

Lauz Morgan 1 year ago

Positive experience: So myself and husband are regulars to the gym! We pay a lot each month but there's a few aspects that need to be improved, we were told the gym opens at 5am, it is very rarely open before 5:10.....the same with the pool, often stood round waiting until after 6am before the pool and changing rooms get opened! The equipment is quite old and rusty! It is however clean and tidy! Hopefully things start to open on time soon, we pay enough each month and on a year's contract!

Positive experience: A shame that the room we had didn't have any besides tables or any storage other than a hanger area. When queried we were told it was being renovated!! Good job there was a bed!!

Tom Reid 1 year ago

Positive experience: Room needed some TLC, bathroom in particular, paint was peeling and the door didn't fully latch. There was nearby construction throughout the night until around 2am which wasn't great as it was too hot to close the window but there was a fan provided. Other than that everything was excellent, staff are super friendly and I would say it's great value for money.

Patience 1 year ago

Positive experience: Very pleasant team, including the cleaners. Customer service was brilliant from check in to checkout. I cannot fault any of it. We only had their breakfast buffet and that was good. Good facilities available including a gym, swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room, enjoyed their use whilst there except for the gym which we never had the opportunity to fit it in our schedule with kids in tow. Rooms were clean, the only thing i noticed as a minus was a chipped table in my room and a damp towel. When i told the cleaning staff they very quickly offered a replacement for the towel. No other issues encountered.

Kate Wood 1 year ago

Negative experience: I want to say the staff here were lovely and very welcoming. However the room was very substandard. Yes we paid a cheap price but did not know we would end up with a room not renovated and v dated. Would be good if this was put on t he booking. I have fibromyalgia and have trouble regulating my temperature and it was boiling in the room. No air conditioning no fan and when I looked out the window the room is next to two outdoor wall heaters. We booked a double room and it was two twins put together which was strange. There was mould on the bathroom ceiling which is an easy fix just a scrub and anti mould paint. We didn't ask to switch rooms as we had to go to a wedding reception so limited on time. I barely slept. Breakfast was ok. I won't be returning.

Village Hotel Cardiff
Village Hotel Cardiff

Dear Kate Wood, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent stay with us. I am very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and that you encountered several issues during your stay. First and foremost, I apologise for the condition of your room. We are in the process of renovating some of our rooms, and I regret that you were placed in one that had not yet been updated. I understand how important it is for guests to be aware of the room conditions before booking, and I will work with our team to ensure that this information is clearly communicated on our booking platforms. I am particularly concerned about the discomfort you experienced due to the lack of air conditioning and the proximity to outdoor wall heaters. We strive to provide a comfortable environment for all our guests, and your feedback highlights areas where we need to improve, especially for guests with specific health needs like fibromyalgia. The issue with the bed configuration and the mould in the bathroom is also unacceptable. I apologise for any inconvenience this caused, and I have instructed our maintenance team to address these problems immediately. While I am glad to hear that our staff were lovely and welcoming and that breakfast was satisfactory, I understand that these positives do not make up for the discomfort you experienced. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our services, and I assure you that we will take steps to ensure that such issues do not recur in the future. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience you faced and for any distress caused.

Negative experience: No Aircon and lack of sound proofing in the room could hear other guests going to toilet. There was a fan in the room but this wasn't of any use. The room and bathroom were very outdated in comparison with other village hotels I have stayed in. Not worth the extra price in comparison with the other budget hotels nearby.

philip cox 1 year ago

Negative experience: Pay £70 a month for gym membership and pool access but when I wanted to take my 4 year old swimming for an hour they wanted an additional £10! This is very disappointing as not really much in this pool for children to do anyway, so charging extra for this is disgraceful. Staff unsympathetic, bordering on condescending about this issue. Website mentions nothing of a £10 charge only a ‘£5 entry fee may apply’

Stuart Ferguson 1 year ago

Negative experience: Very disappointed with the service regarding the gym. I was told by a member of staff that I had 5 free passes. Brought my friend who was looking to join (certainly won’t be now) using what would have been my 4th pass to then be told I have no passes remaining and had to purchase a day pass for him. Emailed and used the online chat over the past month to which I have had no response. Looking forward to my membership being terminated next month since they cannot be bothered to reply.

Negative experience: Very very disappointed. Not much better than travel lodge but more expensive, very firm bed and pillows like bricks. Room small, lot of loud music until late - ? Private functions. Motor/compressor running all night - window had to be open as hot! Food - nothing special, husbands chips cold and hard, slaw def not home made and over 30 mins wait... football on, on all HUGE screens (England match had finished) so so loud couldnt talk to each other. Very busy with visitors to both pub and gym/swimming pool. More like leisure centre to be honest. Final straw car damaged in car park!

Fantastic experience: We stayed two nights for our son’s wedding. The staff were fantastic & went out of their way to help us, I can’t praise them enough. They helped us store cakes for the reception, found us extra towels for my son & his best man when they decided to get ready in our hotel room and generally kept us comfortable & happy. This hotel is easy to access from the M4 & the parking is excellent. Thank you

Fantastic experience: A very nice place. I was disappointed with the variety of drinks at the bar and the non variety of quality drinks. The bar reminded me of a supermarket shelf cheap low quality drinks at ridiculous prices designed to take the last bit of change out of you pockets.

Emma Crump 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: So my room was really dated, had hairline crack in the sink, the bed had a horrid looking brown cover over the bed the desk had large chips taken out of it. Carpet has seen better days. The room as a whole was clean it was just old and needs updating... I was told i was in the old end of the hotel so would love to return and stay in the new part as the rest of the hotel is lovely. The pool has the best looking facilities iv seen in any other village and iv been to a good few now. The pool is really big, clean and bas character around the pool, has a lovely conservatory area with the sun longers and the steam and sauna were nice and worked well. Also the spa was nice. Couldn't fault the poolside facilities. Breakfast was lovely and i love how it was laid out. Starbucks were great also.

Positive experience: The room was fine, but it was so busy on weekends that there was a long queue for breakfast. There is a bus stop just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, which will take you to Cardiff city centre in 30 minutes. Directly behind the hotel there is an ASDA Superstore and a McDonald's restaurant.

Gavin Chapman 1 year ago

Negative experience: I came in this evening to watch the Manchester United FA Cup match and have dinner with my father and 2 sons. The match was on and was building up to kick off. I went to the bar to order drinks and food, when a Chelsea fan came up to the bar and asked for the channel to be changed. I then asked if they could change one of the screens back so we could watch the match that was originally on and the reason we had come in to be told that it wasn’t possible and all screens now needed to be on the same channel (I’ve seen different screens on different matches before). We then had to rush home, get a take away and I missed the first half while I got my sons something to eat. For a sports bar this is appalling and I won’t be choosing to eat or drink here again In the future because I can’t rely that you are able to show what I would like to watch even though you have so many screens I would understand if wasn’t already on but it was and people were watching it

Village Hotel Cardiff
Village Hotel Cardiff

Dear Gavin I am sorry to see that you have had a disappointing visit on this occasion,i apologise for the confusion with the match. We operate on a first come first serve basis, so i can understand your frustration. I will look into this further with the team to ensure this does not happen again.

Loads of floats come out at certain times which is great fun for the kids.

Shane O'NEILL 1 year ago

Negative experience: Really disappointed with this hotel - I travel a lot and stay in Village hotels a lot as I like to use their gyms. The room is so dirty and doesn’t look like it’s had a proper clean in a long time (same as the corridors. There’s grime around all crevices such as taps and sideboards - there’s stuff in the room from the previous visitor and hair in the shower that I can only dream was mine being bald!! There’s stains in the bed but I think this is just from old well used sheets rather than a stain I need to worry about! During my four day stay after the room had not being cleaned for two days I went and spoke to reception and asked why it hasn’t been cleaned and was informed they don’t clean rooms during a stay just do a five minute turndown…. Well no one had even been in my room at all! I was asked to stay downstairs while someone would clean the room…. I waited an hour as they forget to let me know it had been cleaned and went back upstairs thinking it would have been cleaned….. nope! Someone put clean towels on the bed and that was it. Leaving the sink and toilet dirty and leaving the dirty dishes in the room. I went back down stairs to speak to the reception team who informed me that this is what a clean involved. There were a few members of staff the included a male in a shirt and tie who looked like a manger. He rolled his eyes and turned to other staff when I asked what I could expect for the rest of my stay. This left me frustrated because I love the village hotels but won’t be staying again as I’m not staying in dirty rooms!! Or at a hotel that doesn’t appear to care. I wouldn’t have minded as I wasn’t even complaining and just outlined my surprise as this is not my experience in a hotel. ** I wrote this yesterday and it’s my last day at the hotel today - it’s sad to see the hotel manager write on this review as it’s clearly empty words - I’ve got back to the hotel today and the room hasn’t been touched…. My plates from my food last night are where I left them, my bins are over flowing and the dirt and mess are in the same place…. Maybe it would have been better for the general manager to actually sort the issue not just write a meaningless response to this review**

Negative experience: The gym is decent but avoid the restaurant because it is terrible, been a few times now. First time I went I ordered on their app (advertised all over the site) and the food never showed up. Ordered again tonight (at the bar this time) and the food took >70 mins to arrive, chips were cold and undercooked. Couldnt even fill the wait time with a drink because their systems were down (not the staffs fault admittedly). Avoid this place.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Village hotel since 7 years old and have had the opportunity to bring my own daughter for her 13th birthday. We stayed 2 nights and couldn't be happier. Donna, on reception is a wonderful lady, always so welcoming. It was amazing to introduce my daughter to her, from myself as a young girl with my mum to me and my daughter, Donna makes visiting the village that much much special. I'd also like to thank Sian (waitress in photo) she was so friendly and made my daughters birthday meal flow so easy. which couldn't of been easy as there were 7 of us, so thank you again. looking forward to returning in January 2024. The rooms, food, pool and hospitality is always 5***** and we'll worth the money.

Mobile Phone 1 year ago

Negative experience: Lets start work the good points: They had mushrooms available at breakfast time. Bed was comfortable. Decent TV Now the not so good: Room door entry fob hanging off. Bathroom covered in black mould over the ceiling and shower seals. Room ceiling looked like it has been water damaged. Kettle not working, reported to reception who told me they'd get it fixed but 4 days later it hadn't been touched. 3 of us ordered dinner at the same table, 1 came out in a few minutes the next came out 30 minutes later and the last came out 10 minutes after that and the starter was dumped on the table at the same time as the main. The bacon at breakfast is just strips of fat marinating in a pool of grease. One morning, stood for 10 minutes waiting to be seated for breakfast. WiFi kept disconnecting and they tried to prevent me from connecting to my business VPN which they failed to do; it makes me suspicious why they didn't want me connecting via VPN, are they spying? Given they can't even run a hotel I doubt they're into espionage but it does make me wonder why I had to go to additional lengths to bypass their VPN restrictions.

Fantastic experience: It's a great hotel and all, nice and clean rooms, perfect for a night stay and also great services such as a Starbucks on the ground floor, and a pub adjacent to it. There is also an amazing gym along with a nice swimming pool, and even a spa. But when it comes to cost, I'm not too sure. The cost was kinda hefty, but I did get a family room. Don't know if they do cheaper rooms for less people, but if so, they are probably cheaper.

Great location close to the motorway and for exploring South Wales and beyond! Only downside is the rooms are a little tired now (chipped furniture, broken fittings and stained carpets) but cant complain on price point. Im guessing it must be due a proper refurb soon rather than an aesthetic makeover. If not the senior management in the company should be taking note.

sophie Hodgson 2 years ago

Positive experience: Firstly all the staff were all welcoming, and the food lovely. Just the room was a slight let down. There wasn’t a main light which made it hard to see on a wet dark day with only lamps to use. Booking a “family” room which has the same room size dimensions as a standard double, and a shower, just had an added pull out bed for our little one which made it a squeeze. As a family room you would think there would be at least 3/4 cups for drinking from. But there was only 2 mugs. Would of been good if they had extra glasses to drink water from. However, great location, lovely staff and and breakfast was tasty.
