Hotels near JD Sports, Talbot Green

The Positives! Reception was very friendly and extremely helpful, allowing us to check in well before 3pm. Both ladies from house keeping that I came across could not have been more helpful. Restaurant staff were pleasant, efficient and served well cooked food that was nicely presented by the chef. The bedroom was spacious with a comfortable bed and well equipped bathroom. I was impressed by the inclusion of a table and chairs to sit at with a drink whilst watching the good sized television. The negatives1 Torn wallpaper and marks on the wall. Although on the third floor you can't sleep with a window open for all the traffic noise below. To the credit of the hotel they are hosting families from Ukraine but this causes its own problems. We were the only non-Ukraine guests using the restaurant on our first night and had our peace disturbed by the children being allowed to run around making a noise in the adjoining foyer. As the children need to get to school they have an early breakfast so consequently we arrived at 8.30 to find all the fruit salad and croissants gone. There was only one glass left for fruit juice and all the bread for toast had been eaten. This is a simple matter of logistics which the hotel should be addressing. Finally, due to a no smoking policy the Ukraine adults gathered in small groups outside the entrance to smoke which not only created a poor image but they were reluctant to move, requiring other guests to walk around or through them!

We stayed at the Hilton Cardiff for four days at the end of March 2023. We really enjoyed our stay! The people at reception made us feel very welcomed, and couldn’t have been nicer! ALL of the people who work here were extremely friendly and helpful. We wanted to give a special thank you to Mark, the night manager. He was always cheerful - at the beginning AND at the end of his shift in the morning, which is not easy! He even kindly got us a bucket of ice very early one morning when my wife hurt her knee as she was stepping out of bed and the bed rolled away from her. We spoke to Mark about the incident, and hopefully, by now, they have fixed the “rolling coasters with no brakes on the box springs” problem. Mark was so kind and concerned about her fall that he checked on her twice - right after the incident and even the next day, which was the last day of our stay. The breakfast buffet had an excellent variety of hot and cold food offerings and was maintained to perfection by the attentive and efficient staff! The buffet was hosted by Bassam, who was very personable and interesting to talk with. The executive lounge was lovely, with beverages and a few snacks available throughout the day. There is an evening manager’s reception and some savory finger foods were offered each night. Our room had a stunning view of Cardiff Castle and the castle grounds! We would happily return to Hilton Cardiff, and we thank them for making our stay really memorable and pleasant. As a side note, we took the Cardiff Castle Ghost Tour and highly recommend it! It’s great to be able to tour the castle at night, and the two hosts were full of fun facts and historical information about the beautiful and “over the top” decor of the castle!

We arrived a bit early and were able to leave our luggage in the storage room and we received a ticket for this which was good. Our room was really comfortable and there was ample space to hang up my dresses. The bathroom was a good size and there was a bath. We were on the railway station side but with the window closed, you could barely hear them. The bed was comfortable. The staff were really kind and helpful. You could hear people coming back into their rooms and unlocking their doors which could be a bit disconcerting but overall I really liked the hotel. Easy to walk to the main stations and along the river.

Environment (Figure 1): On a remote street in Cardiff, surrounded by residential areas (Figure 2), people who are new to the city need to use Google Maps to find it. The environment is good during the day. There is a bar downstairs. The hostess is very polite. I arrived late. She found my materials from the guest information and told the password to open the door, which was smooth Hygienic: No problem, very clean, the room is not big, there is a separate bathroom, booked a single room suitable for one person Other pictures show local castles and street buildings in Cardiff

High price - especially when you have to pay for your overnight parking (I paid £17.00) and then if you want to have a swim it'll cost you another tenner! Cheeky buggers. Staff very pleasant and our room, although a bit 'tired' was spacious and light with a super comfy bed. Restaurant - staff again very pleasant but I was rather confused about my dinner wich consisted on half a plate of saute potatoes, a chicken schnitzel and a large bowl of cherry tomatoes. That's it. Chicken cooked perfectly, saute potatoes weren't actually saute, just deep fried slices and what I was supposed to do with so many tomatoes I have no idea but it was a pretty boring dinner and I would recommend it.

Lauren was amazing - found us a room that we could check into around 7am when our flight was cancelled a couple of hours earlier. Lauren even printed our new boarding passes for us. Lovely staff member. Room was small but fine, no extra pillows were available though. Bathroom shower was lovely - very powerful :) Air con said 18 degrees but I’m not sure it was quite that cool. Location is excellent and great value for money. Again, kudos to Lauren! Remember - no restaurant on site but PLENTY of options on the doorstep!

Nice hotel.Everything you need.20 mins walk into the center of Cardiff.Or you can catch the bus and be in Cardiff town center in 10 mins.Bus stop is right outside the hotel

My mum and I had a wonderful time staying here! We were given adjoining rooms and it was so lovely to be able to pop in and see each other, whilst also having our own lovely space to stay in! It was a great location, had more than we even thought we needed but it made the visit so comfortable and nice for us!
