Novetel cardiff in Cardiff

Food and service was spot on and good value for money. Sabrina the waitress was very attentive. Next time we are in Cardiff we'll be back.

Drinks, seating, decor and staff good. Music repetitive techno torture.. I could not stand it. Was going to eat here but had to leave! Please no music. It was SO BAD.

We ate here one night while staying at the hotel and the food was really horrible! The fried chicken looked and tasted soggy and mummified! We left it however, there was no recognition of this or asking for our feedback when the plates were collected and the bill was issued. Such a disappointing experience as the hotel itself is really wonderful.

We had a really nice dinner at The Customs Shed and the ambience was great. The Sea Bass in particular was really good. The only slight downside was that although the staff were really friendly the service was quite slow.

As a rule, I wouldn’t usually stay in a city hotel restaurant for food when there is so much choice elsewhere on the doorstep. However, having arrived late after a long day travelling this was really the best option. Being dog friendly also helped! Service wasn’t over friendly; but was efficient and fast. Food was tasty and decent portion sizes. Just over £50 for a main, sides and drinks for two was brilliant value. Would definitely use again if the situation arose.

Our group (of 6) was staying next door at the Ibis and the staff recommended it. We enjoyed a few hours of relaxed drinking and noshing. Our main server was very nice and responsive, but there seemed to only be two people working that evening...

Booked this hotel because we were unable to get into our usual hotel (which was more expensive). Well what a lovely experience it was. Staff fabulous, room spacious, breakfast included an lovely, could not fault it. This is now the hotel for us in Cardiff...

Nice place but overpriced especially the coffee which cost £3.30 each . If they kept their prices down more people would use it .

Pretty average fayre on offer. More pub food that hotel restaurant. Service was good. There are much better places to eat , which are not that far away.

We felt this restaurant had a lot more atmosphere than your average hotel restaurant, and its nice how the interiors reflect the industrial heritage of the building. Quite a lot of choice on the menu and decent selection of drinks. Only negative was that the...

We ate here as it was opposite our Ibis Budget hotel...looks good inside got a table luckily but i would suggest booking. Seafood pasta was lovely with plenty of fish as was the balti chicken curry...kids had the buffet which was great for them. Would...

Nice decor, music, friendly staff. Possibly the worst bar management I’ve ever seen. Ordering drinks requires a staff member to type into a computer and then follow instructions. Takes forever to get two simple drinks. Whoever’s in charge needs replacing.

Eenvoudige gerechten. Goed klaargemaakt. Zeer betaalbaar. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. In mooie serre-achtige industriele ruimte waar je ook lekker kunt loungen.

De Shed ziet er leuk en gezellig uit. Verrassend omdat er bij novotels meestal een standaard restaurant zit met standaard...

Hotel smelt of damp carpet on arrival..corridoors had rubbish everywhere out side all of the rooms doors.. our room was clean though..restraunt was over priced for how small the portions were. Shocking - chicken wings had all hard black meat which tells me they were...

tasty food,not a great choice but proof was in the tasting. Great service and lovely environment. Would recommend.

Lovely stay from arrival until we left, helpful staff and really nice venue with superb breakfast. Great spa and gym facilities.

As part of a potentially rowdy group on a Stag Do, we were treated exceptionally well, looked after and had a quick, friendly service.

I had to write about this place, been coming for months short stays, the Staff, service from a great team receptionists breakfast, lunch staff Bar staff chefs not forgetting the cleaners....even met the General manager after months coming here, who made me feel most welcome...

Recent members of the gym and decided to make use of the bar after a swim on Friday evening. Very lively with good service and quite a funky setting. Could do with dropping the lighting a bit as quite bright and also change the football...

I just had dinner here with a big group of nearly 20 people and the service was excellent. Thanks for Anthony and Liga for taking great care of us all night. Compliments to the chef as well, the food was really delicious.

When I went to Cardiff with a colleague for a conference,we stayed over night in Novetel. We had arrived there before noon, the check-in time was 2pm.We were very pleased that our luggage was allowed to store there until we came back later. The location...

Recently came back from a 2 night stay with the family. The bar and restaurant had a lovely trendy feel to it. Vegetarian options are restricted. Pool is small and crowded on Friday as there are baby swimming lessons going on. No life guard so...

We enjoyed lunch at The Customs Shed Saturday September 29th. Food and service are excellent, maybe a bit typical hotel-restaurant (boring). They provide a relatively low selection of local beers!

Visited multiple times and is consistently good. Spacious rooms and great value breakfast for all the family (kids eat for free). This hotel is worth visiting and is only a short walk to Cardiff city centre.

We had just arrived after a long car journey and needed something quick to eat and drink. As this was at the hotel it seemed an obvious choice but sadly not that good. We had a mixture of starters ..Welsh Rarebit, calamari deep fried and...

This restaurant did not fit the hotel to which it is attached although I have no logical reason for that comment. The food however was plentiful, served quickly by friendly staff, was well cooked and hot. Good value for money. The atmosphere was calming making...

Stayed here for work. The dinner menu is most unimaginative. I tried the battered fish, which was more batter than fish. The cheese platter is about the best bet.

We used this restaurant as convenient during our hotel stay. The food was tasty and well presented for everyone. I particularly enjoyed my pizza.

Great bears with an excellent variation of burgers and very tasteful salads. No French cuisine, but good & honest food prepared very tastily.

Interesting rustic feel about the bar area, drinks are priced as you'd expect from a hotel, didn't eat here

The title says it all, the food both myself and the wife had looked great but failed to deliver on taste. I had the burger and she had the lamb, both advertised as local Welsh meat, but if this is the best Welsh lamb &...

Great visit with friends stayed the night before my wedding, kids has a £5:95 3 course buffet which is a great idea and they loved all the food. Adults also ate at venue and was very pleased with the service and quality of food. Drinks...

This is a really trendy looking restaurant but the menu choices are lacking in variety and choice. Burger served on wooden platters are so passé. But what is worse are the almost lack of healthy options and options for minority’s. The menu is shamelessly unhealthy....

Stayed here for a week on business and all I can say is I called the company I worked for and asked them to book me in for another two weeks while working in Cardiff! The staff are amazing, very friendly and always happy to...

Had the buffet breakfast on a Wednesday at 08-45 hrs. The food generally was luke warm. They did have a plate warmer but there were 20 plates stacked above it's top, with two more stacks beside the plate warmer. Cold plates do not help keep...

Visited here for a friends surprise birthday party. The venue although small had a great atmosphere (about 30 40 people). Drinks were a bit expensive but this is a city centre hotel (my pint was £4.80. I think a short about £6 for single plus...

Not much seating but very friendly staff, food served but didn’t have any. Bar serves tea and coffee

Great choice on the menu - I am a fussy vegetarian! Speedy service and very reasonably priced. I was staying at the hotel so a sensible choice on a wet and windy night, I can recommend the gnocchi & the coffee.

The restaurants decor does not present a warm, cozy ambiance. My wife and I had the steak sandwich and fish and chips. Both dinners were good.

Hotel dining facilities can be hit-and-miss, but as we arrived later than expected at the attached Novotel Cardiff City Centre, we decided to try this relaxed yet trendy restaurant, where the décor echoes the building’s origins as a wharf-side warehouse. We ended up eating here...

Rustic decor, great food, huge portions! We had pizza, noodles and pasta. Wine good too. Very good service.

Had a burger and the beef wasn't fantastic quiete greasy burger, mushy and tasted peculiar, not homemade chips which disappointed me actually. It is a sort of fairtrade, ethic conscious feel, so you would assume they would make their home chips, shame! The beef stew...

The restaurant has changed and is now part of the bar. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food was good apart from the lamb burger my wife had. She found it was fatty and grisly.

Visiting with British Mensa for their local event, i was one of over 70 delegates using the hotel as a base. Facilities were excellent, staff were there when they were needed and it was a great atmosphere

The most comfy beds ever! Best day spent in the sauna, pool and steam room before a night out. Very polite and helpful staff, very much enjoyed the stay :)

Had a great stay here booked via Hotwire so we were a little worried. Fantastic room and great staff the breakfast with my teenagers was great and the pool and gym were great. Only a 10 min walk to the city centre. I will be...

Lovely place to stay, definitely lives up to its 4* place.lovely freshly made to order food, wicked fast reliable room service.clean, tidy and a lovely sleep!

Very clean and friendly staff. Everyone was professional and couldn't be moe helpful. Be back again. The hotel was very smart.

Great hotel massive room and clean and comfy ,staff very helpful bar area very nice the whole hotel was very clean and done up very well .Swimming pool was very nice and clean with a relaxing felling .Breakfast was very nice and plenty of things...

stayed here in May for a seminar. Helpful staff and fairly decent rooms although perhaps a bit dated. On the whole a decent hotel.

We stayed here over the bank hol wkend & had a great time. Staff are very friendly & accommodating with nothing too much trouble. The pool area is fantastic & the rooms clean & comfy. Can't wait to stay there again. X

My family enjoyed a 2 night break over Easter. Very swift check in. Rooms spacious and clean with a bed settee if required. Although the settee cushions were rather stained. Good selection of tea and coffee and complimentary water. The bar was very welcoming also...

Stopped here for lunch today as I was pushed for time, and having eaten here before thought it would do the job! I ordered a Red Thai Chicken Curry with rice for £15 and expected a decent lunch for that. I was served by a...

This is a great hotel I would recommend and keep going back to. Staff are fantastic, the hotel rate is very good as it is 5 minutes walk from town. The hotel has a great spa (much better than a top 5 star hotel in...

very good food, will visit again, friendly staff, and the menu had a good choice. prices reasonable this is my third visit . the sweet to was very tasty

we stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. The rooms are large, comfortable, and classy. The queen size beds are really comfortable. The food in the hotel resturant is excellent and good value. The staff are efficent and very pleasent, nothing was to much trouble....
