I just wanted to watch a movie.
I liked the hotel, clean nice and with parking available. My only gripe is that I work away from home a lot and have movies, netflix, Disney plus etc on my laptop that I usually watch on the TV's in the room via an HDMI that I plug in to the TV. This hotel does not allow that and have prevented the TV's from accepting any other imput.

10/10 Exceptional

Novotel Cardiff Centre
The staff are all welcoming, friendly and attentive. The room was comfortable and a good size for our family of four. We had the Roald Dahl suite, which our boys particularly liked, especially the old typewriter. Lovely detail. Our Aircon didn’t seem to be working. We didn’t report it as the temperature was pleasantly cool. I have no doubt, if we had complained, it would have been rectified immediately. Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of choice and filled us up for the whole day. We also made the most of the pool. Our second stay here and certainly won't be our last. Perfect for a stay away in our great city of Cardiff.
