Great sized rooms for value
Birthday weekend trip, had a lovely birthday treat in the room waiting
The room was nice and big
Separate bath and shower is nice and mini fridge
The shower leaked a bit so soaks bathroom floor which was only annoyance of the room
We used the gym and pool
A family allowed their young children in/out the steam room which I felt was not appropriate as letting all the steam out but no staff around to report.
Reception staff were lovely and welcoming
We had G&T at the bar and the bar staff were friendly and enthusiastic
Overall a really nice stay

Great stay!
Our room was really spacious and clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the bed itself was huge. There is a restaurant/ bar attached which served nice drinks and had a nice seating area outdoors.
The staff were very welcoming and checking in and out was easy.
We stayed in this hotel as we were attending a concert in the Principality Stadium. It was the perfect location for this as it was only a 15 minute walk from the hotel.

We were in Cardiff for a concert. It is a fun event city. We likened the downtown atmosphere to the Fremont Street of the U.K.
The city center has the train station, shopping, dining and nightlife, all within walking or Uber distance of Novotel.
This historic hotel has a great aesthetic, fantastic food, friendly staff and nice, clean rooms. Would definitely stay here again!

Hotel was very nice and located very close to castle and city centre. Room was big enough. The area around the hotel wasn't very nice and I didn’t felt 100% safe when walking around. Parking is also very expensive, we decided to leave the car somewhere else. Parking should be cheaper for guests.

The location was good, the property had some nice amenities, but the room was old and gross -- stained carpet and -- really gross -- what appeared to be blood stains on the sheets of the pull out sofa.

Generally a good stay. BUT - BE WARNED!! the hotel car park is quoted as having "Parking Available". What is NOT mentioned is the fact that on checking out and leaving the car park, a fee of £24.00 is charged just for an overnight stay in THEIR car park. Daylight robbery!!!
