My stay at Park Plaza Cardiff had some highlights, but also several disappointments that overshadowed the experience. The location is superb, just a short walk from major attractions like the Castle and National Museum. However, the cleanliness of my room left much to be desired, and I faced issues with both the shower and the minibar. Overall, while there were aspects I enjoyed, I expected more from a hotel of this caliber.

I encountered cleanliness issues, notably hair in the bathroom and dust in various areas. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable, yet the shower was lukewarm and didn't function effectively due to poor design. The minibar was also a challenge as it didn't work well for storing personal items.

I initially looked forward to my stay at Park Plaza Cardiff, as I had enjoyed my previous visits. Unfortunately, my experience this time was marred by a loud and rowdy atmosphere in the hotel, making it difficult to relax and enjoy my stay. While the room was lovely and well-equipped, the disturbances at night overshadowed the comfort I expected.
Rooms
7.0
The room I stayed in was quite spacious and nicely decorated, with a cozy seating area and all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. However, the bed was somewhat uneven in firmness, which led to some discomfort during the night. It was lovely to have the large shower and ample toiletries available, though it felt like a spa-like luxury that didn't quite align with the overall experience.
Service
5.0
The reception staff were polite, though I felt there could have been a warmer touch in their approach. After my experience with the noisy neighbors, I expected more acknowledgment of my discomfort, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. The lack of follow-up about my experience left me feeling a bit ignored.
Location
8.0
The hotel's location is fantastic, with easy access to Cardiff's main attractions and entertainment regions. I appreciated being so close to the city center, which made it convenient for dining and sightseeing. However, the noise levels from the street and the interior festivities took away from that central advantage.
Dining

Breakfast was decent but not really good. I enjoyed the variety offered, but the service during breakfast felt a bit rushed. I was looking forward to a leisurely morning but ended up feeling pressured to eat quickly. I did appreciate the option for freshly made pancakes, which was a nice touch.
Facilities
5.0
The spa facilities were enticing, but several of the key amenities, like the jacuzzi, weren't functioning properly during my visit, which was disappointing. I did manage to use the pool but found it cooler than expected. Overall, it felt like the promise of luxury wasn't fully realized during my stay.

My stay at Park Plaza Cardiff was a mixed bag. The location was spot on, just a short walk to the castle and shops.
