Great location, the staff were accomadating and friendly throughout our stay. Excellent facilities, bar and restaurant

The location of the hotel is perfect Above an amazing restaurant which we dined in called VIVA brazil Opposite all the main clubs and bars
The room we booked was on the 11th floor The bed had a blood patch on the mattress cover we only noticed this when we got into bed at around midnight and thought it was too late to ring about so we put a towel on it And the room was boiling The air con system wasn’t working and we had to ring the reception at 4:30 am as it was unbearable we were then given a room on the lower floor which was fine but cleanliness was very bad The bathroom had hairs all over the wall and in the bath The bath was broken and chipped, which was coming off We had breakfast in the hotel which was amazing and had plenty of choices I will attach pictures if I can
Clean and accessible to places. Good links to train station and car parks
Central location, very comfortable bed, fridge with water, fizzy drinks and chocolate a nice touch and good bathrobes.
Self service check in, not greeted by the person on reception who was not with another guest. Electrical issues in the room, poor hospitality tray, two teabags and three coffee pods. Breakfast staff very pleasant but the hot food very dry at 8:45am

Location and cleanliness
I was a little perturbed, we arrived at the hotel a bit early and were happy to be told our room was ready. We went to the room, unpacked our suitcase and went out for a coffee. When we came back, a member of staff had been in our room! The towels that had been folded on a shelf been transformed into a swan on the bed. I’m not suggesting anything was taken but I don’t believe that a member of staff should be allowed to walk into a guest’s room. We were sure to leave the door hanger on the outside so they wouldn’t enter.
It was clean, modern, nice staff, lovely breakfast / dining room - the best part of the whole building. Good price.
I found parking nearby difficult but that’s not the fault of the hotel, I wasn’t familiar with Cardiff centre.
Right next to central station. Comfortable beds.
Had the do not disturb sign up and an employee knocked to give us a coupon and 2 chocolates. No parking to drop bags. We sadly damaged our rental vehicle trying to pull up to a curb just to drop the bags. After 450 miles of single carriage way roads and we have to pay for the car rim to be repaired 1 mile before we returned the car. If we would have known we would have returned the rental car and paid for a taxi for the mile that we didn't want to drag our luggage.
Spotless clean very central and the breakfast buffet was fabulous £12.50 and eat as much as you like

Convenient location.
Very noisy and pillows uncomfortable
Das Personal war äussert freundlich. Die Lage ist perfekt für Ausflüge und Fahrten mit dem Bus.
Noch nie hatte ich ein Hotelzimmer mit keinem Schrank oder sonstiger Ablagefläche! Gerade mal ein paar Kleiderbügel über dem Safe!

Night
Nice room and decent breakfast
Unfortunately could hear the music coming from the street with a heavy bass all night and I can't sleep with noise especially something constant like that. Therefore would not stay there again as it was too loud for me.
Location really central and staff lovely
We liked everything about it. Will stay again.
Nothing
The location is perfect, right next to the train station and within walking distance of the bars, restaurants and stadiums. The room itself was very clean and had everything we needed for a short stay.
A little pricey but that was probably because there was a concert at the Utilita the night we visited.
Great location
Couldn’t open the window
The location was ideal. It was close to the train and bus station, as well as being near the Arena and plenty of bars and restaurants. The hotel was clean and well presented and the breakfast was good value for £10 each.
Unfortunately, the pillows were hard and comfortable, so we didn't sleep very well. If I was to book again, I'd definitely take my own pillows!
Great location, lovely room and friendly reception.
The lift was a little confusing, once you're in you need to scan the room card otherwise the lift will ignore your floor selection and just take you wherever its been requested next.
Locatie was perfect. Dichtbij het centrum, het treinstation en de concertzaal.
De warme onderdelen van het ontbijt waren erg zout.

Amazing location very accessible to the landmarks of Cardiff. Nice room with good facilities.
Nothing in particular. Breakfast was good but menu could have some changes every single day the menu was the same.
The hotel was lovely and clean. 2nd time we have used the Clayton great spot for the utlita.
No car park
Breakfast was adequate. Evening meal was very nice. Waitress Maya was excellent
Central of city and close to railway station
Good room size and lots of choice at breakfast!
Staff on reception could have been more helpful gave no information about where breakfast, bar or meals where being served and what times, literally just said what room and what level.
Great location, close to train station and city centre.
Nothing!
駅近で、観光するのにもとても便利でした。ヒートウェーブが来ていましたが、冷房があり快適に過ごすことができました。部屋には必要なものは揃っていて、清潔でした。

Have stayed that this hotel numerous times and have always been satisfied until this time. The location was ideal for city centre and train station.
Booked executive room. Bed was normal double, room.was not that spacious. When booking in staff were not that friendly. On check out the staff member was so nice though.
The hotel is very close to the train station and in a very central location. The room was quite large. However, the window was locked all the time and we could not get some fresh air. Breakfast was wonderful. In particular, there was a great selection of fruit. Moreover, the breakfast room was very spacious and bright, and with an excellent view of the surrounding area. The hotel staff was very helpful and polite.
We would have liked to be able to open the room window and get some fresh air.
Nice location and easy to check in/out. Breakfast and staff were nice.
Room may not have been cleaned properly as we found previous guests undergarments.
Good property close to main area for resturaunt s etc and shopping.

Lovely size room clean and comfortable
Room was clean, and as always, the staff were excellent. Location perfect
It was absolutely stunning, staff were amazing, view was great, food was good, good prices. The soaps were amazing!
My only complaint is the toilet paper! It’s extremely thin, could’ve maybe gone for 2 ply
Location
Was expensive compared to other hotels of better quality, bed was on wheels every time you sat on it it moved, room was extremely hot and you couldn’t open a window to cool down.
Overpriced for what it was when over the road in the premier is £129 cheaper and not much different
Window view very dark room kettle and utensil dusty
How close it was to everything that I needed toget too. Reception Staff who checked me in was amazing, So polite,helpful and with a Smile
Nothing to say
Great location
All good
Good location near the train station but very quiet room- could not hear the traffic below. Nice room and clean.
There could have been more tea/coffee items in the room- not a problem though.
The Clayton has wonderful and friendly staff and the location is right around the corner from Cardiff Central train station and the city centre.
Near to station shopping mall pub and restaurant.
Our room is warm and AC is bad and on and off . Though staff trying to help still we didt sleep well because AC is not cooling well .
Location great, and rooms cleans.
The Ac didn’t work through out had to come downstairs 4 times to complain and they later gave me a small fan but the room was so hot so couldn’t rest. It was bad horrible experience for me when I needed to rest but ended worse than when I came.
Close to station and amenity’s
Disappointed with room as to me deluxe room dos’nt mean standard like we were told by the manager
Location, decor, reasonably priced.
All was great, no complaints.

Room had some dust and cobwebs
The staff were very helpful and friendly was able to get into my room 3 hours before check in time so that was a nice surprise! Room was so clean probably one of the most cleanest hotel rooms I’ve stayed in, bed was extremely comfortable the snacks and water in the fridge was a lovely touch
We had our room on a Saturday night and we was on the 6th floor room 606 if you’re a light sleeper I would suggest getting a room round the back of the hotel as you can hear music and outside noise till early hours of the morning, luckily this didn’t stop us from sleeping! Also stayed Sunday night and was so much quieter and had such a nice peaceful sleep
Location was great
Paid for an executive suite, then I was put in a basic room with no compensation, paid for a later checkout then was woken up by room phone and constant door knocks, the staff member that dealt with us could barely speak English and had a shit attitude. That will be the last time we stay at the Clayton hotel Cardiff. We will go back to the Hilton hotel where the service is better.
Very nice place, food and right by all shops and clubs. Room really nice.

Great location. Cardiff Castle within 10 minutes walk. Main train station within 4 minutes, practically outside the station. All the eatery and bars on the doorstep. Never a dull moment...lol. Breakfast was ok for the price
Shower wasnt the greatest but it was 1 night so cant really complain
Perfect location, great view and spacious room. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The staff were very polite and helpful. The room was very suitable, the hotel itself was very nice. We felt underdressed for how fancy it was 🤣. Clean, value for money and phenomenal experience. We will be returning later in the year.
Not a complaint as much, just some confusion. The TV channels stopped working around 1:30am. Don't know if that's just an issue with our TV? We were watching something and it cut off. Not upset Just confused. Other than that no issues
I was a little disappointed. This hotel did not feel like a 4 star hotel. Even though our room was on the tenth floor it was noisy and you could hear the patrons outside the pub across the road. The bed was very uncomfortable and made you sink into the middle of the bed. The air conditioner did not work. The room got quite hot at night and we couldn't sleep. They could not fix it and put us in another room the next day. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. No air conditioner. I would not stay here again
Immaculate and perfect location

Your staff on the reception desk are very welcoming and professional in their interactions with customers, our arrival on the first day at around 1445 @ the reception, the guy that attended to us and welcome us with respect and regards , his interactions with us gave us the impression that this is the best place to be in Cardiff Central. He is of a middle height with eye glasses , if am not mistaking , he has beard and a bit of ginger hair and lady by her side too was professional. The room is clean , the corridors are clean , the general staff in the restaurant are nice and decent people . The location is the best one can ever have with proximity to every landmarks . Closeness to the railway station is another plus ➕️. The price of securing accommodation with Clayton is is very affordable. Also , they allow you to check in online and check out online saving you time and the good side of checking out online really helped us to catching our train on time and even afford us the opportunity to catch earlier train than scheduled as we did not have any need to queue up.at the reception to hand over keys/card or settling any other issues. Everything about Clayton Hotel is excellent and perfect , we shall be there again and I have recommended it to many .

隔壁房客有些雜聲,房間隔音不足!
The reception staff were excellent. Lovely young lady with blonde hair and piercings. She needs to be commended for her lovely bubbly friendliness
I wish breakfast was included Thanks

Near the station
Staff were a bit offhand
La situation.Accés a toutes les activités touristiques.
La porte d'entrée laisse passer la lumière du couloir chambre 906. La tv ne comporte que des chaines britanniques pourquoi pas une chaine européenne?
The room was good , had everything we needed and was presented at a good level . We are two big people and so the standard double was a bit tight but we don’t know if they had rooms with bigger beds . The Breakfast was outstanding and the staff pleasant and efficient and the location at one end of the Main Street outstanding . Parking although separate was very good in the multistory which was close by .
Only the size of the double bed .
Posizione e colazione
Letto piccolo nonostante si sia pagata una tripla e pulizia da migliorare!
Great location but lack of parking or nearby discount ted facility a let down. Price was too much but there was a football game on at the stadium.
Lack of parking or discounted nearby facility
Great location breakfast was fantastic the restaurant is clean, my favourite is having an ice machine on every floor, such comfy beds, we had a great stay
The toilets in the restaurant area weren't very clean
The location was the only thing I liked about the hotel. The check in was a bit impersonal but heyho.
I had booked an executive room. Liked the photos online but did not get anything like it. The room I was allocated was entering but executive. Had a shower which was luke warm and just acceptable. Used the provided towel and it was dirty. Covered in black stains. Returned it to reception and was given a new clean towel. So, please check the towels before use to make sure they are clean. I commented on the disappointing room the next day and was told that I should have mentioned it the night before. To be honest I just could not be asked as I had unpacked, came back late and was just tired. The breakfast was okay, nothing outstanding but not bad either. Last photo is that of what I thought I had booked according to the photos on the website of the executive rooms and the others show the reality of my room. Quite different and disappointing!
Staff we’re lovely and helpful
Price gouging for a football match. Paid triple of normal price and didn’t even include breakfast. Thankfully staff gave reduced breakfast rate Average hotel for price Hotel can be very noisy do be careful to ask for quiet room
Right in city centre very close to bars restaurants and the principality stadium Nice rooms and food in restaurant very good Ideal location

The triple bedroom , and the location
The restaurant food was very poor on the evening, with things also missing off the menu.

Food was lovely Hotel was very clean Staff were helpful
Lifts are small and only 2 so when everyone is checking out was a bit hectic but no biggie

N/a
The location was excellent, right in the heart of Cardiff, making it very convenient for exploring the city. The staff were generally friendly and helpful.
The room was really small and felt cramped, especially for a family. There was also a very unpleasant smell on the 8th floor. Housekeeping was disappointing—the bedsheets were simply straightened rather than changed, even when they were visibly dirty. After four days, I had to plead with the cleaner to change them, and she had to speak to her supervisor first. The breakfast was also the same throughout our stay, with very little variety. This may be fine for a short stay, but it is not ideal for guests staying for several days.
Location, clean,friendly staff. Good breakfast , good room facilities.

Wait for check in, noisy fridge in room
Very good location.
It was a little disappointing to find some hair on the bath mat.
Great location. Modern and clean hotel and room.
The bed was very small, I’d normally expect a larger bed in an executive room.
Location to train station Excellent rooms Air conditioning excellent Staff so friendly
where you could get a drink was nice.
Arrived at 3pm - check in time and I was turned away as room wasn’t ready. Once checked in I went into the room the bedding pillow was dirty, the toilet was dirty from being used! And the paint work wasn’t good/ dirt marks everywhere. I asked for another room- bathroom had other peoples shower gel and scrunchie left in it so not sure if it wasn’t cleaned ? The bedding had marks on it And the door lock didn’t work on the main door to the room! Went do the reception and had asked for my money back the reception lady said no to begin with where I then said I want the manager please. He wasn’t best impressed but did give me my money back. I won’t be staying again.
A clean no hassle hotel in a great location.
The room doors are loud on closing so you can hear everone come and go. An insulating strip might help.
