The 49 best views in Cardiff

A really brilliant experience here. Make sure you download the audio guide and bring your earphones. One thing I would have preferred is that their locations and different numbers so you would know what to listen to add particular spots. But it's great to see so many languages catered for and despite it being busy, it was a really peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere. Definitely a highlight on my trip to Cardiff.

Lovely well-maintained castle, friendly staff, and spacious lawns which make for a beautiful sight. It’a not very big but it’s lovely to see and the Firing Line museum below is informative and interesting. Worth a visit!

Definitely worth the trip to the castle. The views from the top are amazing. Quite steep steps to go up to the top though. I would also recommend doing the tour for the extra money. The tour takes you to some extra places that you are not allowed to go on with a standard admission ticket. You will need to look at the times when the tours take place before you go.

Cardiff Castle was a fantastic experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the grounds felt like a peaceful mini park in the heart of the city. I joined a guided tour to explore the stunning Castle Apartments, including the ornate Arab Room and Roof Garden — absolutely worth it. Climbing the Norman Keep’s steep stairs rewarded me with breathtaking panoramic views of Cardiff. The castle’s mix of rich history, beautiful architecture, and family-friendly atmosphere makes it a must-visit. Highly recommended!

This castle is worth visiting. Many things to see and do. The house is lovely and there’s an informative museum too. Children love to roam at the ground. No parking available on the site. You need to find one on the other place.

Lovely castle at the heart of Cardiff city centre. One of the most well-preserved castles we visited. We visited on a weekday so it was not too crowded. The highlight was walking through the WW2 air raid shelter. The posters, the darkness and the sound effects from the speakers really enhanced our experience and we felt as if we travelled back in time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our visit and we highly recommend it as a must see when you visit Cardiff.

Viewed this castle the rooms are very art deco it's amazing how they painted the walls and I do love the stain glass windows. If you feel you have the energy the steps to the castle ruins is a must as it shows views over the town.

Cardiff Bay is an absolute gem! With its scenic waterfront, bustling cafes, and the stunning Wales Millennium Centre, it’s th perfect place for a relaxed day out

Nice restaurants & great views. Parking not always easy. Play areas for children.

Plenty of places to eat and a few gift shops to browse in too. Great to walk around the barrage to Penarth Head, and view the bay from another perspective.

Nice place to visit if near Cardiff, Wales. Things to do and see. Plenty of food places to explore and try out. There was boats ride available around the bay. (Need to check times and dates, for when available). There a few hotels nearby and parking available.

It’s a nice place to visit in Cardiff. Amazing view. A lot of restaurants and shops around. Mermaid car park at walking distance. Would recommend to take a walk if you happen to come Cardiff.

Cardiff Bay is an incredible destination that has something for everyone! Whether you’re looking for beautiful views, great dining, or fun activities, this area truly delivers. There’s a fantastic selection of restaurants, bars, and cafes to suit all tastes, from cozy spots for coffee to fine dining with gorgeous views. The variety of shops and attractions means there’s always something to explore, whether you’re with family, friends, or enjoying a solo day out. Cardiff Bay is clean, well-maintained, and full of energy, making it the perfect spot to unwind or dive into a day of adventure. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Really has come on and improved. The bay is now fully open and vibrant. The ghost development of past has come of age. Really pleasant on a hot sunny day. Enjoy a reasonably price boat trip out if the weather is fine

What an experience! Two very contrasting parts - natural history and art. The museum is completely free and, very kindly stored my suitcase whilst visiting. Several staff members engaged to discuss the exhibits - I found out that T Rex hunted in packs AND made a noise akin to a turkey, not a roar! A great way to spend the afternoon (especially if you're a kid).

Reminded me of the Natural History Museum in London. The section on Welsh geology is incredibly (too?) detailed. The cafe had no vegan food. The building is very grand. In summary, an old school museum.

5th August 2025 This was my first visit to the Cardiff Museum, I took my Canadian cousin's family. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The layout was simple and easy to follow, every exhibit was marked with a brief description & history. What I loved most of all was how child friendly Cardiff Museum is. There were a number of stools for children to sit down, view and take notes if they preferred. In some displays there were artifacts like hats, caps, puzzles, etc that the children could use and have fun. A really good place to visit and it's free to enter.

I had an unbelievable experience at the National Museum of Wales. Words don’t do justice—this is simply a place you must visit! The museum beautifully captures Welsh history, culture, and art. From the fascinating natural history displays and archaeological treasures to the world-class collection of Impressionist paintings, every section is filled with stories worth exploring. I especially enjoyed seeing highlights from Wales’ industrial past and the stunning art galleries featuring works by Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh. Pros: Free entry (a huge plus!) Wide variety of exhibits (art, history, natural sciences) Great for families and all ages. Rich insight into Welsh heritage and culture. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in Wales, don’t miss it—it’s more than just a museum, it’s a journey through time.

A nice location for you to visit with art and ceramics, natural history and so on. You will see the oldest elephant 🐘 skeleton and many good knowledge for Roman culture. Better for a weekend break if you see outside is rainy and need clean free toilets. Sometimes, they play good violin 🎻 and great classical music group🎶. Last time, I heard the Harry Potter song there 👌

Brilliant museum for a toddler. My daughter is 3 and loves the dinosaur and animal areas here. We’ve also done several of the activity’s like the scavenger hunts at Easter/Christmas and some crafts. In the holidays they open a room at the far right hand side of museum that has lots of interactive things for kids like gemstones, shells, fossils, magnifying glasses, microscope and some colouring and blocks to play with. The cafe is very overpriced for food and I would say you’d be better bringing a packed lunch or having food in Cardiff somewhere but perfect for a hot drink.

Well clean, tidy, helpful staff, the place is amazing with about 3 floors worth of history, best thing is it's FREE ENTRY, thanks to Government of Wales for providing free entry to all their museums. It's a hidden gem for family, guaranteed fun, children will love it. Must go place. Unique structure of the building, may be listed. Lots of antics.

A long nice walk alongside the barrage, you can experince the lifting of bridge and even you can watch large ships nearby

Great walk across the bay. Unfortunately, it's not pleasant to walk at night or early morning, and people walking inconsiderately can make it feel more congested than it is. There's an ice cream stop, coffee shops and Tiger yard on the Cardiff end, and occasionally water vendors on hot days. There's also an Olympic public workout spot half-way around.

Absolutely fantastic, the structure created for the sea ferry and crossing takes your breath away. We walked around the Bay following the Bay walkway and saw some amazing views over the bay. The wildlife is phenomenal

Great simple enjoyable trip out. Two mile walk along traffic free road to or from Penarth. Witnessed the locks and bridges open, was fun. Really lovely walk on a pleasant sunny day. Bike hire available too if your not fancying the walk. An unexpected delight.

My first trip to see the Cardiff Bay barrage and I was impressed. There is a spacious car park next to the lock which is inexpensive/ You can watch boats going in and out of the lock either going to or from their safe moorings behind the barrage. One or two of the buildings look like they need an overall but the modern buildings are in keeping with the area and have done a lot to rejuvenate the area. There are special car parks for boat owners to park their vehicles when visiting their craft. There are also coffee shops and restaurants to visit too.

Great start for a walk across the barrage. Plenty of parking, though be careful as many of the car parks are operated by a notorious local parking company. Locks are interesting to watch when in use and are quite busy. An "optical illusion" is painted in yellow on the locks visible from the yellow X at the barrier to lock 3.

We went on a bay trip to Flat Holm . The trip was very well organised . Well, worth a visit and the island is seeped in history. You can go on a free guided tour for an and the guide was very informative 👌. Alovely day.

We attended the stadium for the Oasis concert and it was AMAZING! The stadium is huge and there was a wide selection of drinks on offer and reasonably prices. The system thag implemented made it quick service and the staff were friendly. What an incredible experience, keep an eye out of events here because it was well worth attending.

These photos are from U12 row 33 (the very back row of the upper tier) and there was a great view of the stage for Oasis in July 2025. Events at the stadium are always well-organised. Obviously there are bar and toilet queues at busy times as you'd expect, but they move fast. Weirdly the person serving behind the bar was 17 (turning 18 at midnight) and she was able to make the drinks but not sell the drinks which caused a delay... but happy birthday to her! Exiting the stadium after an event is surprisingly fast.

My 1st visit to the stadium I wish it had been for rugby union match but next time. This time it was for a concert Catfish and the bottle men getting to stadium easy to find. Well signed for all entrances, the staff were brilliant.(I can't remember the staff members who helped me and then my wife re-enter after I lost my phone and amazingly a bloke and his partner found it answered the call and since we left after Travis played and there was thousands of people inside and the tickets were on my phone the staff allowed us back and retrieve it THANK YOU ) the stadium is easy to get around lots of facilities for all the bar only took card no cash but staff were super polite and friendly the stadium is amazing and can't wait to go back to watch the rugby

Great venue and feels intimate when we saw Oasis. Cons no signs in the town centre for different gates. Floor sticky. My coat is drenched from split drinks. Numerous people falling over in the standing area as they were unaware of the slope to enter/exit, maybe have a different coloured tiles to show change the slopped areas.

A fantastic stadium to watch both sport events and music events! Comfortable seats for stadium seats! Sensibly priced seats! Lots of drinks and food on offer to buy, minimal queues when support acts were starting.

Stereophonics gig, with blossoms as support. Amazing gig. Both on form and will definitely sew again Good to see the stadium has free water machines and needed in that heat. Big shout out to Gary the Gorilla

I was here for the Lana Del Rey concert. I'm originally from Germany. The stadium is really beautiful. I felt very safe at all times. There were friendly staff everywhere who helped you. It took about 30 minutes to get into the stadium, which I think is a reasonable time. Especially when you consider all the crowds. In the stadium itself, you have the opportunity to buy drinks and food in many different places. The queues there were absolutely reasonable. I never had to wait longer than 5 minutes. There were plenty of toilets and the staff pointed out where there were no queues. Overall, it was a great experience for me. I would definitely come to Cardiff again for a concert. Generally people of Cardiff were very sweet and warm-hearted. A big thank you and compliments to all the security staff and employees, especially at gate 5, M19 🫶🏻

We loved visiting this cathedral! It had a chapel dedicated to the Royal Regiment of Wales/ Welsh regiment formed in 1969 and this is the regiment my husband served in. It costs £1500 per day to keep the cathedral running so they do ask for donations and we certainly contributed. It is a beautiful cathedral and worth visiting. Sadly people have vandalized many of the marble effigies. The stained glass windows are beautiful. The organ immense. The cathedral has several small chapels in it including the RRW chapel and the Mary Chapel. Visit and support this wonderful cathedral and piece of Welsh history! A short walk from the cathedral are wonderful hiking trails.

It’s free entry! Entrance is a beautiful steep stairs down with beautiful panoramic scenes of the cathedral as you walk down. Amazing free entry steep in history, beautiful interior with stain glasses, a modern middle circular art piece , the choir area and the number of smaller chapels at the back with the sarcophagus displayed and a adjacent chapel to the fallen. Ideally would like to return for a tour of the cathedral if it is offered. I note that there are book about the cathedral at the back of the pews.

Such a beautiful cathedral and lovely staff. It was free to enter, and we took plenty of pictures inside. We utilized the bus to get here and back to Cardiff Castle area and it was easy enough to understand with the help of Google Maps. There was also a cute little gift shop inside if you were inclined.

Lovely cathedral.. entrance is usually free but we went for the Opera in candlelight event ✨ the performances were incredible and atmosphere very grounding.. unfortunately the photos were a bit misleading we thought there’d be more candles etc but nonetheless a lovely event in a lovely venue

It's set in a leafy edge of Cardiff, hidden in a dip to hide it from threats from the sea. It was the second worst damaged cathedral after Coventry, during the war with a parachute mine landing in the cemetery next to the nave and causing damage to the nave and other parts but was restored to its current form. Inside is peaceful with memorials and a chapel dedicated to the armed services. Lovely stained glass and the famous Majestas that stands in the middle of the nave. Little shop with bits and pieces and guide books. Also helpful volunteers on hand to share the history of the cathedral with

Restoration and alteration of Llandaff Cathedral, 1949-1963 by George Pace. Llandaff cathedral is an important medieval and later building. My visit was specifically to look at the work by George Pace in the rebuilding and re-roofing following extensive war damage. Pace had little previous work when he was awarded this major project to succeed Sir Charles Nicholson as the cathedral architect. Most architects, when they get the first major job of their career, would tend to be careful, but Pace produced some of his most radical architecture and intervention. Pace set four principles for his repair and restoration at Llandaff, which are explained in full in Peter Pace's book, in summary; A - Ancient work and Pritchard's 19th century restoration, where it had survived to be carefully conserved. B - New work to make good destroyed parts to be clearly and legibly 20th century, but also to integrate with the cathedral in appearance and character C - everything to be under the aesthetic control of the architect, D - every part of the cathedral, every intervention, to be a work of art in itself, entire cathedral to be a complete offering to God. These principles would not be surprising now but quite forward looking for 1949. Pace did not agree with previous assessment of the building as being an overgrown parish church. He found that the qualities, particularly in the nave arcade, to be of high quality and worth celebrating. He also highly rated the Pritchard work, including the west tower, which he considered to be a major monument of the Gothic Revival. Pace's contribution started with the nave roof, which was different to Prichard's open timber roof and but similar to the roof that Nicholson had proposed. Pace's response was based On Nicholson's drawings. The intervention that everybody knows at Llandaff is the pulpitum. The pulpitum is often roundly criticized when it is posted on sites like this. I can see that it is surprisingly shocking for the 1950s. There is nothing so audacious at Coventry, for instance. I would not like this to happen in all churches but in this one it is wonderful. In the past, the pulpitum would have been a stone screen at the junction between the choir and the nave. The medieval Llandaff Cathedral had a pulpitum. But this was not rebuilt during Pritchard's restoration. Pace felt that the lack of architectural definition between nave and chancel was the factor that made Llandaff lack the atmosphere of a cathedral. Pace's idea was to produce a new form of pulpitum, a 20th century structure, which is an object rather than a screen. He pointed out that it is traditional to be modern. Each phase of a gothic cathedral built in the style of its time. He took particular inspiration from an 18th century print of Gloucester Cathedral, which had a stone pulpitum. Pace's early schemes for this are quite like a Comper ciborium with what he called a "proper sized" organ on top. The design took four years to develop, including full size plywood mock ups. I think the design is an extraordinary synthesis of a screen which locates the altar, but also keeps the full east views through the Romanesque arch to the Lady chapel beyond. Set onto the pulpitum is the magistas - similar to a traditional rood figure but with Christ, not defeated, but reigning. Pace suggested that Jacob Epstein was the only sculptor, who could realise his vision. Epstein responded, to Pace's inquiry to say that it was the was the greatest thing he had been asked to do, and he was sure that it would result in a in a great act of faith. As with Pace, Epstein was particularly impressed with the 13th century arcade and design of the nave.

I attended a remarkable David Bowie tribute concert at Llandaff Cathedral. While I am not typically a fan of tribute acts, this performance was truly exceptional.

A fantastic place to spend all day. You can just walk around, do some rope activities or just be stunned at the beauty. For both indoorsy and outdoorsy people. There are 2 stunning art galleries and suitable for children too. I absolutely loved it and it is free. No tickets and no need to buy a map. The signs are everywhere and you can not be lost. There are some pubs locally but they were so full for lunches we had to wait for an hour! Not worth the price so bring your lunch and drinks unless you want to definitely try fish and chips in-house or go to the restaurant located at the start of your journey but that has a very poor review. Overall an amazing day out. On a windy day wear layers & definitely warm yourself up by walking around.

Amazing outdoor museum. Very friendly staff are knowledgeable, and the grounds/facilities are well taken care of by the landscapers and handy men that provide the upkeep. 4 folks that stand out are the information desk ladies for their wholesome welcome, the gentleman posted at the house rows and gardens with his personal experience, the gentleman tending the mechanical objects in the manor and of course, the man expertly pruning the gorgeous roses. The later takes skill and focus to care for all those varieties to provide the beautiful sensory experience in the archway near the ponds. Well done all for this marvelous experience. Shame there isn’t a 10 star option. PS, if that doesn’t sell it… it was completely free

Really nice afternoon out. It's free so I won't be too harsh but it would benefit from some more information dotted about. Lots of stuff was shut which is understandable in the middle of the week etc but wish it was clearer before walking around. Most of the buildings were shut or empty. But the ones with the volunteers were great. Loved the fire going in the farmhouse it makes it feel real. Should be more info on the process of how i the buildings were moved as that's fascinating in itself!

We had a lovely day here. Definitely worth a visit. We were a group of 12 with 2 dogs, and our ages ranged from 12 to 81 and they all enjoyed the walks from house to house. It was also lovely to listen to the members of staff with all their knowledge. I knocked a star off the experience due to not being able to take the dogs in for cooked food in the main restaurant. A member of staff told us that we could eat in the cafe the other end of the estate. Once we got there, it was only pre packed sandwiches and cakes. We wanted cooked food. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable day

Parking here is £7 for the whole day or free for blue badge holders. I've been here a few times but think it's amazing how old buildings have been taken down n rebuilt exactly as the stood before the vulcan pub is finished and sells alcohol bur it looks amazing and the shops are a blast from the past the place is massive but so peaceful also seeing how our ancestors lived compared to today is mind blowing would recommend visiting if never been before .

Wonderful Museum! each building is interesting and immerses you into the past. it’s free and perfect for a day out for all ages. Bring a pack lunch! the only expense was £7 for all day parking and some gift shop goodies.

We had a great experience at the Museum. Lovely main building with ample parking and facilities. It has a big food court too. The main attraction was the Welsh houses in the complex. They depict the ancient Welsh life effectively. Must have taken a lot of effort to relocate and rebuild these iconic buildings.

Perhaps this is a tad unfair but I was only allowed into the front of the Centre, or was it the centre of the front? All doors to where the punters sit to watch performances were locked. I asked a member of staff if I could have a look but he refused. I joked that what I'd seen so far was so good it could've been built in England. Lead balloon time. Lighten up little Welsh man, okay, you weren't amused but a deafening silence would've been better than the response you gave. Coming over the border? Don't. We'll sing you away. Keep a welcome in the hillside, keep a welcome in the Vales, I may be back one day.

I got there early with my sister, staff great directed to the relevant place. We were able to get a drink and have a sit down for a bit. Been there for cabaret and the other shows there brilliant highly recommend. Only downside is if you drive everyone tries to get out straight away and they tend to get stuck in the parking part across the street

**The Wales Millennium Centre: A World-Class Cultural Destination** The Wales Millennium Centre stands as one of Cardiff's most impressive architectural achievements, and after experiencing "The Book of Mormon" there, I can confidently say it lives up to its reputation as a premier cultural venue. The building itself is breathtaking from the moment you approach. The distinctive design creates an immediate sense of anticipation, and the location in Cardiff Bay couldn't be more perfect. The waterfront setting adds to the overall experience, making a visit feel like a special occasion. What truly sets this venue apart is the theatre itself. The comfort level is exceptional - genuinely the most comfortable live theatre experience I've encountered. The seating is thoughtfully designed, allowing you to focus entirely on the performance without any distractions from cramped conditions or poor sightlines. The technical aspects are flawless. Both the acoustics and visibility are outstanding, ensuring every seat in the house offers an excellent experience. During "The Book of Mormon," every word was crystal clear and every visual detail was perfectly visible, which is exactly what you want from a musical production. Even the gift shop deserves recognition. Rather than the typical tourist fare, they offer unique and lovely items that feel special. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. The Wales Millennium Centre delivers on every level - from its stunning architecture and prime location to its superior comfort and technical excellence. It's a venue that enhances any performance, making it a true cultural jewel in Cardiff Bay. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-tier theatre experience.

We’ve come here many times. A wide range of theatrical productions, ballets and musicals are on offer. Tickets are affordable, particularly for young people. Drinks and snacks aren’t too bad either. Good parking facilities nearby. Spectacular setting in the bay. We had a great time seeing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

Ten theater was absolutely stunning! I mentioned how much of an art work the theater was to a staff member and they were kind enough to give me a brief history on it. The auditorium is massive and I did hear someone mentioned how they were far away but that they felt as if they were close.

We've been to this venue a number of times over the years, but I've been remiss in leaving a review. Having visited the centre to see Warhorse yesterday, itself a stunningly ambitious and superbly crafted and choreographed show, it's just worth mentioning that the Wales Millennium Centre is a fabulous and beautiful building - inside and out - and the auditorium is incredible with fantastic views and audio and lighting. Just a delight to visit.

An amazing theatre. Don't worry about buying cheap tickets up in the gods. The view and the sound are still excellent. Drinks preorder works well even at altitude. Staff and volunteers were all helpful and knowledgeable.

This is an amazing park right in the centre of Cardiff with lots to see and it's very peaceful for a walk in the evening. There's plenty to do from adult fitness to a visitor centre to checking out the interpretive signs about the trees and wildlife. This was a great find and a must-see for anybody in Cardiff

Beautiful park. Just lush. Huge trees my favourite being the multi stemmed wingnut near the bridge. This Park is owned by "the people of Cardiff" as was left to them, with the castle, by the last lord of Bute. It is a managed park. Friendly gardeners willing to spend time chatting ❤️ We went in spring, the tulips were lovely, so lovey I didn't get many photos!! Separate review made for ace secret cafe, near the plant sales.

Bute Park is an absolute gem in the heart of Cardiff — one of the most beautiful and peaceful urban green spaces I’ve ever visited. The park is massive, yet feels welcoming and easy to explore, whether you’re strolling along the river, admiring the flower gardens, or just enjoying the shade under the ancient trees. There’s a perfect blend of open grassy areas, wooded sections, and well-maintained paths that make it ideal for walking, running, cycling, or just relaxing with a book. The views of Cardiff Castle peeking through the trees add a magical, historic touch. I especially loved how close it is to the city centre — you’re just minutes from shops and cafes, but it feels like a world away. It’s also very clean, safe, and dog-friendly, with plenty of spots to sit and unwind. A must-visit if you’re in Cardiff. Perfect for locals and tourists alike!

I really love this park, it's beautiful, peaceful, and seems to stretch on forever. There's so much space to explore, and recently it got even better when Slayer and other amazing metal bands played at the Blackweir festival site. The mix of nature and live music made for an unforgettable experience. Definitely one of my favorite places to visit! Yeah!!

It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy nature and walking. The riverside paths offer beautiful views, and there’s also a bike road, so you can rent a bike from Pedal Power or another place and enjoy cycling.

A well maintained park, nice seasonal flowers, beautiful, scenic and peaceful. A wonderful place for a stroll or relaxing on the grass. The weather was perfect and the place was not too busy on a weekday.

Stumbled across Bute Park while wandering around Cardiff. Peaceful place to walk and the Secret Garden Cafe is lovely

Amazing place to learn from basic to high tech applied sciences. A fun and interesting place for both children and adults. Buy tickets in advance ❤️

A fun spot for kids, with plenty of hands-on exhibits to keep them entertained. However, the experience felt a bit limited for adults, with many displays lacking depth or variety. It’s worth a visit if you have children, but those seeking a more engaging experience might be left wanting more.

Fantastic science-themed museum. Lots of varied interactive exhibits that kept us (2 adults, 2 15-year olds) entertained for several hours - there were quite a few that we went back to multiple times for another go! Great staff, very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. The chap running and explaining the interactive planetarium was particularly good. A great museum.

Absolutely amazing for kids and adults, my kids could have spend all day. The add on shows are very reasonably priced and well worth it. Added bonus of picnic areas and ever a water bottle refill station. Will definitely be back

What a lovely place for all ages and abilities. Fantastic location with a variety of food places to visit before or after. The little ones of family really enjoyed themselves and looking forward to re-attending. The core of technique at is its incredible collection of interactive exhibits. A giant piano you play with your feet, water play, launch rockets… every corner is a new discovery. It is a huge hit with my kids and family but it’s not just for kids, did notice a lot of adults engrossed, including myself. Excellent value and highly recommend for a fun family day out.

We visited with our two boys (aged 4 and 9) and had a brilliant day. The centre is in great condition – calm, welcoming, and with big open spaces. Almost every exhibit was hands-on and super interactive, which kept both kids completely engaged. We also did the planetarium (the presenter was full of energy and incredibly knowledgeable), the science show, and a lab session for our eldest – all of which were excellent. The staff were fabulous: friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and would definitely recommend a visit.

My 3 year old had the best time and hasn’t stopped talking about it! Very nice experience. The baby changing room was also really clean so thats always good to see.

What a beautiful place to dine. This is the second time I came to this restaurant for a special occasion & it’s definitely worth 5 stars. The staff are very friendly & always come back to check if we are happy with our food & the atmosphere is so lovely & elegant too! I would definitely recommend coming here you won’t be disappointed. Will definitely be back here again! Our hostess for the night was a lovely lady called Georgina & she was so welcoming & friendly. Very impressed!

We booked Laguna Bar at Park Plaza on the day of the Oasis concert after seeing a post online inviting people to join them for pre-concert celebrations - so we were expecting a lively atmosphere, maybe some music and a welcoming vibe. Unfortunately, the reality was the complete opposite. There was no music, no energy, and it was uncomfortably cold inside, so we opted to sit outside. Even then, it was an occasional breeze but a little better. We were told someone would come take our order shortly, but we were left waiting and had to get up multiple times just to ask for service. No drinks menu was brought over so we guessed what to have, even after requesting it twice after the first round nobody brought one over. The staff felt quite cold and uninviting overall. We even asked if music could be put on to bring some atmosphere - but nothing changed. Once we finally managed to order, the food arrived promptly and the only saving grace was actually the chips, they were quite nice, which is the only real positive. The rest of the meal was dry. The other people at our party said the same. Sadly, the poor service and lack of atmosphere really ruined the experience for us. I highly doubt I will be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re expecting anything lively, warm, or attentive.

Over the years I have stayed at many hotels, each usually with their own restaurant, few are good, some mediocre and many are poor. Out of all the hotels I've stayed at I'm happy to say that the Chefs at this restaurant are why I return and why I'd say it's somewhere within my personal top 3 hotel restaurants I've dined at. The food is always genuinely excellent, a particular favourite is the scotch egg with pea puree and bacon jam... a good reason in itself to return! The pork belly with fennel, cabbage, potato gratin and sage stuffing is another excellent dish, each element is clearly treated with care and skill which absolutely shows in the finished product. Thank you to the chef for making another night away from home a little more tolerable by way of excellent cookery.

I booked a Sunday Lunch reservation. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I was first in the restaurant. I settled into my seat and proceeded to thoroughly enjoy a great, quality and top-value 3 course meal. It was a “proper”Sunday lunch - Started with Prawn Cocktail- with buttered brown bread. Then came 2 small roast chicken breasts, Roast potatoes (crispy), stuffing ball, huge 8” tall Yorkshire, a roasted carrot, a roasted parsnip and delicious gravy. Then they bought along more gravy, cauliflower cheese and some steamed broccoli & leeks. Dessert was a piece of New York-style cheesecake. I could not even start never mind finish dessert. For £28.00 for 3 courses, it was multiple great plates of food. Everything was hot, fresh and served with multiple smiles. I think anyone who considers this place a bit of a throwback needs to think again - great food, service and staff. Book a reservation as soon as you can!

We attended yesterday for afternoon tea, to celebrate a baby shower. The food was lovely, however the service was left wanting. We were sat down for a good 45 minutes, before we received a drink (we did ask several times). The main maitredee was very friendly, however the other staff were not as attentive. We've been many times previously for afternoon tea and for Sunday lunch and the service has always been brilliant. Bit disappointing, as we would've stayed longer for drinks.

We stayed at the hotel and popped into restaurant/bar for quick drink. We ended up having a bottle of rose and a chat to Gary the manager and sat on decking area. Really nice and relaxing. We didnt have food but it did look nice and we would return to try the food. Really enjoyed

Nice food Reasonably priced Good beers and wines available

Shawn or his name actually spelled well, gave me almost a private tour and discussed with me everything regarding this marvelous building and its significance. Highly recommend the visit. And for whoever is able to take part and involve themselves (welsh people mostly) please please please do attend debates and activities. This place was hard to come by and it meant a lot of effort to fight for the right to have a parliament for the welsh people. An incredible experience. With love from Argentina, had a great time, we will always stand with the people of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇷

Had an AMAZING talk with Huw Clarke who spent his time explaining to us the details of the Welsh parliament and elections as well as a bit of politics, as foreingers it was amazing to compare political systems and election methods. Also the guards here are very kind, makes you feel very welcome, no harsh treatment at all. This feels like visiting the house of a very welcoming host, will surely visit again and hope to see the changes after 2026

Beautiful building. We couldn't go into the chamber as it is being expanded but we're able to visit the upper mezzanine. Friendly staff and an excellent exhibition to see.

Really modern building. You can visit it to learn more about Welsh politics and the evolution of the country over the years. It is interesting even if you are coming as a tourist/visitor, because the staff is really friendly and helpful. They will try to explain everything you want and also small exhibitions can give you a even better view of the status. A very good nice thing is that the building is built with materials coming from Wales and with focus in the environmental sustainability.

Stunning architecture , an apt building for the Welsh Parliamentarians. A must see.

Shay was THE best! He was so kind and explained us very important things about the building, welsh politics, debates. We came from Italy and it was amazing to have someone so passionate and entushiast telling us all about the Parliament! Thanks Shay we will never forget meeting you!

I visited the Senedd on a Saturday so it was nice and quiet, security were friendly yet thorough. Once inside I visited upstairs where they had some nice history information and a cafe. The staff member was polite and prompt in not only taking my order but providing me with my coffee. I was able to enjoy the peace whilst I did some digital work and the coffee was nice at £3. I will be visiting here again.

Great to visit the welsh parliament. Was able to go inside building, but no session. Nice architecture and interior wood illustrating furnaces. Service minded security personnel a big plus.

nice place to see Welsh Parliament, didnt knew that we can go inside as well.. hopefully will visit again soon!

Impressive building from all sides well placed looking out onto Cardiff bay

Our visit to the Sennedd was amazing. The guide was so knowledgeable and informative in a way that conveyed how this wonderful building fulfills it's purpose. I don't mean functional purpose like holding meetings, I mean aspirational purpose of inclusion, accessibility and transparency. For anyone who cares about how democracy works, I highly recommend

Personally i rather like the look of the building but Christ on his Cross! Just upkeep the place! The wood is looking so tarnished and weathered! This building is meant to be representative of the welsh people! People like Osian, who like this building in recent years has started to show his age. Who in his spare time has taken up the hobby of reviewing my reviews! Even when hes on a date night with his lovely wife. I only wish the maintenance department of the Welsh Assembly was as thorough in it job as Osian is passionate about my reviews!

We visited as a party of three adults (one with mobility difficulties), having never been to Cardiff before. We emailed in advance and received many timely and informative replies from Menna. All was arranged easily and efficiently, the entire visit to the Assembly being free of charge. There are security guards right at the entrance and so please be aware if you have scissors or other sharp objects they will keep them for the day (giving you a tag) and you can collect the item back when you leave the building. When we arrived inside we were greeted by a tour guide (Sam) and he was joined by a learning-to-be-a-tour-guide Gwern. Both were friendly and welcoming. Sam is by far one of the most knowledgeable guides we have had the pleasure of having. He told us a lot about the symbolism of the building, the history of the National Assembly for Wales as an institution and about the way the assembly works today. Although you are not allowed to go down to the chamber of the assembly (where the representatives sit), that did not detract one bit from our experience and we did feel the tour was 100% worth our time! We came out so much more knowledgeable about Wales as a country, it's people, its history and potential future. In the afternoon we did sit in and listen to the assembly in session, which was very interesting and added an element of reality to the theory that Sam had delivered in the morning. The building is 100% disability friendly; it has automatic doors, disabled toilets and lifts for access everywhere. Overall, we would say this was one of the easiest, most enjoyable, most informative and interesting visits to a sight and landmark that we have had. We thoroughly recommend it to everyone, regardless of how interested you are in politics, history, architecture or anything else that might make you wonder if its worth visiting. It definitely is!!!

Absolute rubbish.the building looks like a caravan . i realise it was supposed to be made of natural materials but surely it could have been made to impress rather than offend all the slate floor around the building floods as well . take a look at other government buildings in other countries, Scotland Magnificent. N. Ireland, Beautiful. London, Grand. We are certainly the poor relation. We do have the City Hall in Cathays Park which is Magnificent, Grand,and Beautiful and would have cost less than that ugly building down the bay.

Our first time visiting here, staff were friendly and as we arrived a lot early for our booking we sat outside and ordered drinks. A table became available and so we were seated quickly. Unfortunately only one cider was gluten free which was no good for myself. Food on the other hand had several gluten free options which meant I had plenty of choice. The food came and tasted amazing and I will definitely be visiting again I just really hope there's more choice for beer for those with celiac disease. My other criticism is staff were so busy trying to get you to pay to leave so they could free up the table and neglected to show you the card machine screen so you could double check the bill was correct apart from that it was a great experience.

Absolutely wonderful and delicious experience! We spent so long in the Cardiff Bay Area looking for a place to sit on a busy Sunday night — this restaurant had the perfect waiting time: we were promised a table within 20 minutes and right then they gave us a place to sit! Very kind and considerate service, very polite staff and friendly environment. Excellent music, too! The food was great, excellently served and well-priced. We had a wonderful time and a very filling meal! Very good place.

Lovely food We had cracking variety fish, burger selection beef, chicken & pulled pork trio The gravy is to die for mmmmmm 😋

Visited with two friends and we all loved our experience! I ordered the bbq burger, a side caesar salad, and shared fries, all of which were delicious. We also had some of the £5 cocktails, which were pretty great for the price. Our server was really attentive as well :)

Visited on a whim and a recommendation that the food was good and we definitely weren't disappointed. Portion size is incredible, and you definitely get your money's worth. The burgers are really nicely presented and put together and the taste of everything is fresh and very moreish. Kendra served us and she was very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions we had when we couldn't decide what to eat.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hub Box Cardiff Bay is our go-to spot 🍔we’ve been back three times this year and it never misses a beat. The staff always go above and beyond (they even swapped out a beef burger for fried chicken once, genius move, and the server backed me up!). Big shoutout to Daisy this visit, she was an absolute star: warm, speedy, and so lovely that even my three-year-old wanted to chat with her (trust me, that’s rare!). The kids’ menu is a total win, main, side, and a drink, with the option to add ice cream for next to nothing (pretty sure it was £1!). Our girl had the chicken tenders and wow, they really are tender, perfect portion for little ones, and the team happily boxed up the leftovers to take home. 👏 The kitchen team? Rock solid. Every meal is hot, fresh, and seriously delicious. Add the chilled vibe and bay views, and you’ve got the perfect combo. Hub Box, you’ve hooked us. 👏🍔✨

A really enjoyable experience with probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The garlic and parmesan fries are amazing as well. We were served by a young lady who was new to the job, but she was friendly, polite and asked her colleagues for help with answering our questions rather than trying to wing it. Which is something I’d prefer and is to her credit

We were recommended Lab22 by a waiter in another restaurant, and it was absolutely excellent. Lovely cocktail bar, tucked away with a “speakeasy” vibe. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, and superb cocktails - an excellent way to spend an evening.

The best cocktails! I had the “Grapes of Taft” tequila drinks with homemade grape soda and local grown wine. I then had a cocktail made with locally sourced rose hips! Cannot recommend this place enough - what a treat!

One of the best bars I’ve ever been to anywhere. Stunningly well thought out cocktails, fab service, and an incredible menu. I’d have happily have completed the menu if I hadn’t needed to dash off after a few rounds, but I would travel to Cardiff to specifically go to this bar. Go here; you won’t regret it.

Popped in briefly to check what the place was like and loved the vibes despite it being a very busy Saturday night with zero chance for seating. I had a Samba myself and it was very nice to drink. I will definitely be coming here again next time im spending time in Cardiff.

This is literally the best cocktail bar in Cardiff by far! We tried 4 different cocktails and enjoyed them all. Voyager was the best one in my view! I like it upstairs, it feels bit private and far from the crowd on the street. Staff are absolutely nice and helpful. We will definitely visit again!

Amazing experience at Lab 22. Lottie our host was incredible recommending the best drinks for us! We will be back.

Lovely place, especially for a nice romantic evening! The setting is gorgeous, the ambiance is what you need for a date or a ‘date night’ for a couple. Drinks are lovely, with ample choice. The prices are quite high, so can lead to an expensive evening.

Amazing experience! We were a group of 8 split across 2 rafts for the white water rapids and everything from the start was fantastic. All the instructors were great and made it super fun and engaging. Would definitely recommend 👌🏻

Love cardiff white water!!! Park and play for £14 for 2.5 hrs is so good. Loads of other bits to do including rafting, duckies, rings and climbing. Such a good modern facility. Could not recommend more

We had an incredible time at Cardiff White Water. We had to rearrange from last year and they were really accommodating, which we really appreciated. Check-in was super easy and we completed the waiver beforehand, which made everything smooth and quick when we arrived. The whole experience was really well run. Our instructor Katie was brilliant. She was clear, fun, and genuinely seemed to enjoy the session with us. There were four of us in the boat and we got loads of runs down the rapids. The staff were quick and efficient getting us in and out of the water, so we spent maximum time actually on the rapids rather than waiting around. It’s a great thing to do with a group. Really good fun, well organised, and something a bit different. I’d definitely recommend it and would do it again without a doubt.

Great experience, I struggle with mobility and movement but still found this accessible and great fun. Instruction was clear and they provided good opportunities in the boat for fun moment's on the water. Highly recommend

Booked for my sons 11th birthday. He was joined by 4 friends, it was great fun. Highly recommend a visit.

Attended a stand-up paddleboarding taster session at the centre. All the equipment was provided with decent changing rooms (a pound coin required for the locker) to get into the wetsuits. The instructor was very clear and the every task moved skills forward a little, with an appropriate amount of information given at each step. The session took place in calm waters and a supportive environment was created by the instructor. Would definitely attend another activity at the centre - also fun to watch the white water rafts and kayaks making their way down the rapids

Absolutely brilliant experience. I've got one daughter who want to tone up and another daughter who wants to develop strength in her shoulders. The kayaking (for £10!! With a 1.5 hour experience) was the best thing money could by to get outdoors and exercise. I think this is going to be a regular thing. Brilliant, friendly instructor brought a lot of fun to the experience such as challenging up to stand up on the kayaks / swap over kayaks without falling in.

We went here after the Wales beat Finland in the Euro qualifier. We were walking by and saw a good amount of fans celebrating so we stopped by for a pint. I got a Thatcher’s Haze Somerset Cider from they had on tap which was really good. It was a nice spot with a good atmosphere!

Been going to this pub for a long time 1 of the few pubs left that has good atmosphere friendly people and staff

Lovely pub the lounge has just been redone to a lovely standard. Can be a little intimidating in there at times with some patrons

Just stopped by for a quick pint. Lovely traditional pub. Always a good atmosphere, great beer garden. Selection of beers isn't the best but what they do have is well looked after.

Pretty basic pub in the heart of Canton. The afternoon we called in for a drink. The pub was busy and noisy, which was a good sign. But the bar staff seemed more interested in talking to each other than serving customers. I'm not used to hearing bar staff using such foul language, especially female staff, which is very unprofessional. The pub seems to be full of gamblers only interested in watching horse racing on all televisions. If this is your interest, then you may want to use the pub. My friends and I won't be visiting again.

Proper little local this is, good atmosphere and a laugh

The place has had a major revamp and looks amazing. It is a really nice pub now with a great atmosphere. The smoking area is amazing with lots of comfortable nooks and crannies to have a bit of privacy if you want. The only issue is that the staff the night we went were quite.. well I'll just say highly strung 😬

"They--unfortunately--don't make them like this anymore." A jaw-droppingly gorgeous building outside conceals a wonderful trove of history and narratives within. Sited in a wonderful setting at Cardiff Bay. Make the time to visit.

"Discover the charm of Cardiff's 'Big Ben' – a stunning clock tower that stands as a symbol of the city's rich history and architecture. A must-see landmark in the heart of Wales!"

Originally the office for the docks, this building is now a museum and event center. The staff were very nice. The neatest thing about the Pierhead Building is its architecture inside and out. We didn’t stay here for very long but we did enjoy what we saw.

The Pierhead Building in Cardiff Dock was built in 1897 and is part of the estate of the Welsh Parliament. The clock on the building is unofficially known as the "Baby Big Ben" or the "Big Ben of Wales".

A grade A listed building in Cardiff Bay. Stunning can only describe it.

Coming as a tourist from Switzerland, I really appreciate the exhibitions of this place. It garnered lots of information about Cardiff Bay and its history. The building is striking and very well preserved.

Cardiff Bay was a beautiful and relaxing place to explore

Some nice and easy walking along this tarmac path that takes you from Cardiff to Brecon, but you can walk short sections starting at many different locations. From this point you can walk up to the wonderful Craig yr Allt to take in views across the valley and down to the sea. If you walk across the other side you can walk the taller Garth Hill.

We cycled from Asda at Coryton into town it's was busy today as the sun was out but it was ok

An amazing outdoor space! Accommodating for all outdoor activities. Beautiful grounds everywhere you look. Safe and accessible.

The whole Taff Trail is a great place to walk, be mindful for bikes and take care of each other

I love the Taff Trail quite quiet and very enjoyable

Very nice on a sunny day

Lovely walk and nice shade from the sun.

Absolutely rubbish pint of Guinness. It seemed like the gas was wrong. I mentioned this to the staff but just got a vacant nod. I didn't eat here so can't review the food. Live entertainment was good. A decent one man band at a good volume.

We were visiting for the day and chose The Dock to have dinner. This place allows dogs in and there was plenty of seating upstairs. They had a live singer playing. It was a little loud but luckily the guy was a good singer. The food was fantastic. Having never Been here before, it was a lovely surprise that not only was it good value and good atmosphere but the food was good as well. If we visit again, we'd definitely visit here again. Nice views over the river.

Love this bar. Great atmosphere great drinks and deals on different drinks. Cocktails are made very well. Love the fact they do a Purple Rain cocktail as they are my favourite and not many places offer them. Great food also, we had loads of picky bits and small plates and shared between us and they were all tasty and well presented. Would resommend the garlic mushrooms and also the Ham Crouquttes. Lots of seating and places to sit with views over the Bay. Outdoor seating also avaliable. Toilets were clean and well stocked. Also a lift for accesability upstairs.

The place has a beautiful view of the bay - definitely recommend for that. The food Was nice and good portion size. However if you're sensitive to noise, do not come during one of their live music Events - even upstairs the speaker system is set to "conversation-deafening" - they clearly invested in the Sound system and the only way to escape it is outside. Excellent if you want to take in the vibes or just enjoy music and a pint, terrible for any attempt at talking.

Good sized pub on the Quays. Sitting on the upper deck would give you better views of the ocean though. Drinks were on promotion at time and we also got the 'dirty' fries but wasn't that impressed by it although they have lots of food choices. Not a bad place which is in close proximity to other bars and restaurants.

Very good river view, and had Cardiff Traditional Food. The restaurant is quite spacious inside, but the door is a bit heavy, which makes it challenging for wheelchair users to open. Thankfully, a passer-by kindly assisted me with it.

The Dock was a solid spot. The food was nice, and I definitely recommend trying the Welsh Martini. Cool place to chill around the bay.

It was my first time at this restaurant, and I was genuinely impressed! The food was absolutely delicious full of flavour and served piping hot. The atmosphere was also lovely: quiet, clean, and complemented by a Beautiful view. The only downside was that the staff seemed a bit tired and disengaged – no smiles or warmth, which made it feel like they weren’t enjoying their work. That said, if you’re going for the food, it’s definitely worth it. The dishes are authentic and packed with flavor!

Decided to come here for a bite before driving back home. Had a calamari to start with, well presented. A medium rare stake to follow and a tiramisu to finish. The calamari was good and tasty, just a bit on the thinner side. The stake was cooked medium rare as requested, seasoned just right and the sauce that it came with made it even better. The tiramisu was just great, just how a tiramisu should be. Great service from the staff as well. Having dinner with a good view and some live music from around makes it a really nice place to be at. Finishing off with a shot of limoncello is a nice touch! Definitely will be back when I visit Cardiff again!!!

We went at a busy lunch time, the 2 courses for £20 is a bargain. I had the Bruschetta and a pizza. Bruschetta was full of taste, and the portion size generous. The girlfriend had the chicken skewers, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and whatever herbs they used on it gave it a lovely taste. My pizza was cooked perfectly, and was as tasty as it looked. The girlfriend was very happy with her seafood pasta, I could see the amount of mussels they put in it was generous. If you fancy Italian food by the bay, I recommend this place.

We had a pizza which wasn’t the best Italian pizza we had. Quite thick base and wild mushroom pizza had a sand as mushrooms were not washed properly. I was regretting not having a pasta. Overall very disappointed considering good reviews. Nice views on the harbour.

My wife and I had an evening meal here on a Saturday. It was a lot quieter than many of the restaurants in the Bay. Although it was quite busy, the service was good. The food was great and arrived quite promptly, along with the wine. We had a table with a great view over the Bay area. There is a small balcony area, but it was a bit too cold for that ! This is not a restaurant chain, but an independently owned restaurant. Nothing to complain about here.

The food and the service were excellent. We arrived half an hour earlier than our booking but the staff happily took us to a table without question. The food was fantastic and was served quickly, the wine was tasty, and the dessert was delicious. The only problem is the noise - it's impossible to have a conversation in there, every sound echoes (seriously, bring back carpeted floors!) and the music was loud as well. If you can tolerate noise then you'll have a fantastic time here.

Nice place with nice view. Very friendly and polite staff. Good food, we had main and dessert. Both tasted fresh and well prepared. A bit too pricey, it is mostly pasta in the end. They charge you service charge on top your bill so be prepared. All in all decent restaurant.

A pleasant walk through the park on a dry and sunny (albeit chilly) April morning. Lots to see, plenty of wildlife and there's even a cafe. Sadly, it was very busy on our visit so we didn't partake in refreshments. Lots of friendly people who are happy to stop and chat and overall, a relaxing and pleasant place to visit. Unfortunately, the conservatory was closed for the day when we visited (crime scene apparently!) so will have to plan another visit next time we are in Cardiff.

A beautiful spot to relax and enjoy nature! The lake is peaceful and perfect for feeding the friendly birds and swans—it’s such a joy to watch them up close. There’s a great activity area for kids that keeps them entertained, plus boating is available for a fun time on the water. Whether you want a quiet walk, a family outing, or some outdoor fun, this park has it all.

Took the kids to Roath Park and it was a total hit! The playground was a blast, and they loved feeding the ducks.here’s loads of open space to run around and explore. It’s clean, safe, and just a fun, wholesome day out for the whole family. Definitely coming back!

A Lovely Day at Roath Park – Peaceful, Beautiful, and Relaxing! We had a really enjoyable time at Roath Park today. It’s such a beautiful and well-kept place, perfect for relaxing or spending time with family and friends. The weather was nice, and the whole park had a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. We started by walking around the lake, which was the highlight of our visit. The water was calm, and we saw ducks, swans, and even some people out on small boats. The iconic lighthouse on the lake is lovely and adds to the charm of the park. We took lots of great photos! There were plenty of benches and open spaces, so it was easy to find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the view. Families were having picnics, kids were playing, and everyone seemed happy and relaxed. We also stopped at the café for a quick snack, which was convenient and had a nice selection of drinks and food. Overall, Roath Park is a perfect place to escape from the busyness of everyday life. Whether you want to walk, relax, or enjoy nature, this park has something for everyone. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

Roath Park in Cardiff is one of those rare places that feels both lively and peaceful, making it perfect for almost any mood. The moment you arrive, the lake is the first thing that captures your attention, with its iconic white lighthouse standing proudly at the center. Walking around the water is a refreshing experience, whether you’re there for exercise, to clear your mind, or simply to admire the swans and geese that glide past. What makes the park special is its variety. The rose gardens in the summer are a burst of color and fragrance, while the greenhouse adds an exotic twist with tropical plants and koi fish. Families love it because there’s plenty of space for children to run around, while fitness enthusiasts take advantage of the circular path for jogging or cycling. On sunny days, rowing boats on the lake bring an extra layer of charm. Despite being so close to the city, Roath Park has a calming, almost timeless feel. Whether you’re taking a slow stroll, having a picnic, or just watching the sunset reflect on the water, it’s a spot that never disappoints. It’s not just a park, it’s a slice of Cardiff’s heart.

Great park with a decent size lake, the gardens are beautiful and also a cafe. Play area etc etc

very cute park lots of ducks, swans and geese 🦆 tons of benches and picnic tables too

This is a hidden gym fantastic place. Really lovely food full of flavour and spice wasn’t disappointed at all. Staff were great friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend this place.

DO NOT ORDER TAKEAWAY. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF. Gave them a second chance. Curry like water. Barely any chicken. Seems to be a common habit of theirs. Very lame. Won’t be a third attempt

Such a disappointment. On the day we went it was cash only and some things I had to ask the waiters for twice like a drink (no water was offered) and a fork as I’d used the only one on the table for my starter so I was sat staring at my meal for about five minutes as well as trying to get a waiter’s attention for about five minutes. The food was lovely although disheartening as we had apparently looked at an older menu and some things were now no longer available since Covid. Also the prices have sharply risen since then it seems! My meal with a starter (the samosa which is highly recommended), poppadom (the pickled lime possibly the best I’ve tasted), and sharing rice and a naan (which is very dry) with my friend came to £45 with two pints of kingfisher on draft. The main meal was £18. I’ve been to restaurants in central London that charge less than this where you get bigger portions as well, I walked away still feeling hungry and also very surprised no kulfi was on the menu either. I feel the restaurant need to up their game a little. The decor is a bit tired as well. Like I say, an overall disappointment and considering where it is this could be a superb restaurant and even gives you that sense of promise with the well written menu too. Won’t be rushing back for the sake of lime pickle and a rather nice samosa (also very overpriced at £10.50). Do trust previous reviews. It’s not the worst in Cardiff but it’s not the best and is very average and extremely overpriced for what you get, plus frustrating the “classic” curries are £6-£8 extra for meat options… I don’t believe even the best Indian restaurant in town (this is another Benghali restaurant btw) charge £18 just for a meal nor £5 for rice. It’s just far too expensive for the portion sizes and the quality of the food and the service isn’t the best. Friendly enough but also even though it wasn’t particularly busy they looked like they couldn’t be bothered or were on auto pilot. I believe the manageress was in and she was friendly enough however. Other Indian style restaurants are in the bay and dare I say actually taste better and offer better value for money over in the red dragon centre. A real shame.

We went there today and I would say the service is very good and staff are very nice and polite. The atmosphere is very peaceful and calm. The food quality was good, though for 17-18£ main course, I expect a bit more. I ordered mango curry and I loved it, it was delicious but as it’s not served with rice or bread, I feel the portion needs to be a bit bigger. The drinks were average. For dessert, only gulab jamun was Indian so I ordered it and it was very delicious but we didn’t like strawberry icecream, as there were pieces of ice in it! Overall, we enjoyed our experience and I suggest you to give it a shot!

Popped in on the off chance after an afternoon show at the Millennium Centre. I was delighted to be offered a table immediately and was delighted with the service, friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food. It was delicious and I will remember not to leave it so long before I return again.

I would not order takeaway from here - ordered a chicken tikka masala and a lamb tikka masala and looks like they split the portion as containers only half full. Poppadoms not freshly cooked either (I think they were from yesterday), and a bit of a cheek being cash only.

The food taste was just average and the portions were far too small for the price. When I raised my concern about the portion size, the manager responded with attitude, saying they had been serving like this for the past 20 years — which is not an excuse for poor value. On top of that, I was told popadoms were complimentary, but I was still charged for them. The service was pathetic, and the ambience felt very uncomfortable — too clingy with tables crammed so close together that there was no sense of space or privacy. This was my first and definitely my last visit. Not worth recommending.

Visited with our dogs. Very dog friendly. Ale and food were fabulous. Thanks to the chef for popping out to ask if our meals were ok. Bar staff really friendly and knowledgeable. Awesome .

First of all came in and it was very friendly service. Ordered boneless chicken strips and when it’s came out it was the bone chicken wings. I went up to the waiter to say about this and he sighted not very nice about it even though it was their mistake. When the boneless chicken strips finally arrived they were dripping with water and falling apart. Overall terrible food and service won’t come again.

We hired a space here for my 30th birthday and it was perfect! We had exclusive use of the canope area and were able to decorate the space and play our own playlist, which made the event feel really personal and fun. The staff were absolutely lovely and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was great, and the beer/cocktails kept everyone happy. Highly recommend this venue for anyone thinking of hiring a space for a party or event (plus the doggos can join in). A special mention to Zechariah who helped the vision materialise by meeting with me beforehand and corresponding to my 100 emails and questions. Super star!

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Came here for lunch this afternoon with my wife, dog and baby daughter. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. The bar staff were lovely, offering a high chair for the little one and even some dog biscuits for our lab! The staff were also very knowledgeable about their drinks and even gave my wife a free sample to try! (Which was delicious). The food was affordable and great portion sizes. The fish finger sandwich particularly went down an absolute treat! Thanks guys!

Very disappointing experience at the Brewhouse for Father's day. We were sat down at our table and we ordered our drinks which were supposed to include a free pint of beer and single shot of whisky. The waiter told us that is was only half a pint and walked off. We had to go to the counter and show the actual advert, they reluctantly agreed. Our drinks arrived and no whisky. We called them back over and eventually the whisky arrived. The whole situation appeared intentional to not give the free drinks. The food arrived relatively quickly and we were again disappointed (photo added), there was a small portion of vegetables and even less gravy. They refused to add more vegetables and reluctantly brought over a small additional portion of gravy. Before we could ask for any sauces, they walked off again. I then had to go and ask for them. I wouldn't have minded if it had been very busy, it wasn't at all. We've been here for the last 4 father's days, unfortunately it will be our last.

I've been coming here for decades, when it was the Mochyn Du - only one of two pubs that served Leffé on draught.. There's always a friendly crowd here in large and spacious in and outdoor areas. My visit on 20/6/25 was distasteful as the queue was long, but people were getting served at a good pace, however; when I got served at 5.55, the pleasant young lady said the 6pm happy hour had finished!? There were other customers frustrated by this too. We left early due to this disappointment.

I visited the Brewery and Kitchen in Sophia Gardens with a friend last month, on a busy Saturday, and had a wonderful, delicious meal at a very good price. Great atmosphere. The staff, led by Amy, were helpful and delightful. I had a beef burger laced with a delicious 'jam', one which Amy's grandmother makes at home. And the sweets were fabulous. I would thoroughly recommend a visit... and ask Amy about the jam!

Not bad not great. It seems to have loads of potential but I just wasn't overly fond of the beers I had. We ate there later on as everywhere was rammed and the food was OK. The pizza dough tasted quite dry. I suspect the hydration needs to be higher. Much better than chain pubs but sub standard for a micro brewery

Friendly and welcoming staff, guided us through the options and were very welcoming to whatever we wanted to customise. Loved the beers and cocktails. Didn't get any food.

Excellent craft beer and pizza restaurant, really great service, fun, polite and professional, good craft beer, good offers on steins, and amazing pizza. We shared the pear and Gorgonzola, and goats cheese pizza, with rosemary garlic bread. All fantastic, brilliantly cooked, great dough base and generous toppings.

An absolute unwelcoming place. Came in today, group of three. No smiles, greetings.. We ordered food and watched the chef make our amazing pizzas. Our food was ready but no servers. . The lovely lady in the kitchen then had to serve us food as nowhere to see anybody for more then 30minutes. The chef even did checkback. And offered to help us cut the pizza's. After an eternity two staff members came out from the office and continued chatting on bar. The couple on the bar gave us an absolute horrible service and as a fellow hospitality worker.. it was the most ignorant service ever .. Thanks to the chef for the amazing pizzas and kind service. My advice change the front of the house staff as they are letting down this place more and more.

We visited Zero Degrees for an informal working dinner with colleagues from several countries. The venue seemed ideal — relaxed, flexible, and well-suited to our group’s staggered arrival times. Unfortunately, the evening was disrupted by extremely loud karaoke, which made it impossible to hold any meaningful conversation. For a large group booking, we would have expected to be informed in advance about such events, as it significantly affected the purpose of our gathering.

Sunny day in Cardiff, so sat on the balcony, very refreshing Perfect Pils, staff freindly as usual, welcoming feeling to the place. Didnt eat anythong. Recommended.

Had an enjoyable Sunday lunch here. The space is huge! Can only imagine the buzz when it’s filled with people on Friday night! First, excellent beers, I tried their signature mango beer - delicious. The pizzas were alright, we ordered one capricciosa that was great and one with pear and gorgonzola, which was a slight disappointment. Great dough but there was too much of everything apart from pear and gorgonzola, other cheeses, red base, some rocket and sprinkles of spicy mayo(?). So overall a nice impression, but next time I’ll get another pizza ;)

Went to Yakitori1 for lunch before Book of Mormon at the Millennium Centre. Really excellent food and service. We had the Robata Nigiri Surf n Turf, the flamed Nigiri special, Dragon roll and Kaarage chicken noodles. All were delicious although we both felt the Surf n Turf Nigiri was nice but didn't warrant the price. Overall paid £90 for the food and two beers. Would definitely go here again when on Cardiff Bay

Had a great time there. The food was really tasty and well balanced. Wok was delicious and the sushi was fresh and crispy at the same time with beautifully combined fresh and creamy taste with the crips of tempura shrimp. Definitely will visit again when im in the area.

Went to Yakitori#1 with friends and really enjoyed it. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented - the chicken is halal. The atmosphere was lively yet chilled, and the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a place I’d go back to.

Really awesome ramen !! 😍😍😍😍 Very light, yet very flavourful and fills both your tummy and your heart ❤️ The Chicken Katsu curry was also yummm. Friendly staff 😊

Absolutely brilliant. I had a beef Cha Han which was fantastic. Lovely staff and super quick service. Two mains with Robata Nigiri and a bottle of wine £75. Booking advised. Definitely would go back as I have a loyalty card now

Been twice was good both times, sushi was nice so was the wok. Price is affordable. service was average cant complain

My family and I visited this Asian restaurant in Cardiff Bay the day we picked up our son from university. We enjoyed a quick lunch in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the food was good. We were pleased to find plenty of space and no need for a reservation. The service was prompt and efficient. Located in a central part of Cardiff, this restaurant offers an excellent opportunity to explore the city on foot. It's a convenient and reasonably priced spot for a quick bite if you visit Cardiff's beautiful city.

Had the Thursday promo (buy one get one free). T-bone steak was tender, delicately seasoned and perfectly medium rare. Chicken in tomato sauce was fine, but stick with the steaks (which can compete with the best I've had all over the world). Enjoyed the beers they recommended too. Warm, responsive staff. Got a great table in front of the bar- spacing is enough that you can enjoy the bustling environment and yet have a private conversation. Would revisit. Update 5/4/2025. Visited again 2 days later to try more of their dishes. Crispy fish and chips, lamb rump paired well with harissa jus and generous sides (savoury sausages, couscous and ratatouille). Appreciated the crispy edges of the lamb fat (at the cost of some parts of the lamb being closer to medium well than medium). I conclude that my favourite thing here is still the steaks, and I should follow my own advice and stick with those.

Superb hidden gem of a pub / restaurant. Stumbled across this excellent venue while staying in the area. We went on Wednesday steak night and had the T-Bone. Everything about the food was heavenly from the perfect cooked chips to the delicious steak with the incredible peppercorn sauce. The chef certainly can cook, no question! Staff were very friendly and attentive and the selection of drinks was varied. Especially enjoyed the choice of craft beers on tap. We are already planning another visit before we leave the area and head home… it was THAT good.

Fabulous welcome, fantastic food. Gluten free options. Brilliant drinks menu. Wonderful staff. Will definitely be returning. We sat in the bar area with our dog and it was great. We'll definitely be returning. Thank you. Merci!

Brilliant place to visit but do book. First time, but will definitely be returning. The food is amazing and you will be made very welcome. Highly recommended restaurant

We popped in for a belated Valentine’s Day on Friday and despite it being busy, we thankfully managed to get a table (thanks Cat!). The staff were very friendly and attentive. We ordered drinks while browsing the menu. I ordered the Camembert Samosa while my partner ordered the Breakfast Scotch Egg for starters. The portions were great and the food was gorgeous! Now for the mains, I opted for the Slow Braised Brisket of Beef, while my partner ordered the Roasted Lamb Rump. Both were amazing and again the portion sizes were generous. I couldn’t fault a thing. The atmosphere in there was great and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you! I can’t wait to see what Francois and Serge do with the place!

Really lovely, quiet little pub with decent food, well cooked and nicely presented. The lunch menu is also really good value. If we are passing though again we will definitely return.

Excellent food, pork belly was beautifully cooked. Service was excellent, we felt looked-after. On the pricier side, but worth it.

The Botanist Cardiff is an absolutely stunning venue with a fantastic atmosphere that really sets it apart. The interior is beautifully designed and there is a gorgeous feature that truly makes the experience feel unique, a stage surrounded by a lake, complete with live music, which adds an elegant and lively touch to the evening. It is the kind of place where you want to sit back, relax, and soak in the ambiance. We came here for drinks and food and were really impressed with both. The cocktails were well made and beautifully presented, with attention to detail in every glass. I tried a couple and each one was smooth, flavorful, and nicely balanced. That said, they were on the expensive side, at just over ten pounds each. This is fairly standard for a premium city centre bar, but it would have been nice if the prices were just a little more accessible so more people could discover this place. For food, we ordered the hanging kebabs and they were absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. We also went for the sharing option, which came in at around forty two pounds, but it was more than enough for two people and definitely worth it in terms of taste and portion size. The presentation was eye catching and it arrived at the table looking every bit as good as it tasted. Service was friendly and attentive and everything came out in good time despite the place being busy and rather late. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for a treat or a special evening out. It is not the cheapest option in Cardiff, but the quality of the drinks, the food, and especially the setting all help justify the price. I would happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a vibrant and stylish night out, just be ready to spend a little more than average. Excellent beer and wine selection also!

Very creative drinks and cocktails, and a very nice selection of non-alcoholic options too. The venue is absolutely delightful incredibly beautiful. The food was very nice as well. All of the small plates ordered were tasty and the large kebabs and the botanist bowl were all very much enjoyed. The biggest issue really was the service, the weight staff seemed unenthusiastic and not particularly friendly. Our table felt a little intimidated by our waiter who had slightly rudely laughed at us when we were taking a little while to order he would clean empty tables before taking away our plates we just felt slighted in a way, he seemed rude. The kitchen also made a few clumsy errors, there was no pomegranate in a pomegranate couscous salad and falafel was not initially present in the botanist bowl despite being a crucial part of the meal. This was fixed in the end. We also felt it wasn’t justifiable as they were very quiet that it took so long for our order to be taken. On a different night, this could a very easily be a five star review. We just felt slightly put out by the front of house staff, the service was really not there.

Everything about The Botanist is lovely. The staff, food, atmosphere, and a big emphasis on the drinks. Monday through Friday from 4 to 7pm you can enjoy happy hour, I certainly did. With a nice price and a 2 for 1 deal, you certainly get all the drinks you need. I was there celebrating a family members birthday and they went above and beyond, including a decorative dessert board. The hanging kebab you’ll find no where else, it definitely doesn’t disappoint. This is a perfect place to have some nice photos at your table or the bar with its greenery and low lighting. Be mindful of all the steps (there is an elevator). The staff are also very understanding about arriving a few minutes late to your reservation time. Definitely make a reservation if possible. Earlier in the evening you should necessarily need one, but better safe than sorry to miss out.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our family from Asia at The Botanist, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I had requested a simple note saying “Welcome to Cardiff,” but what we received was so much more—a beautifully decorated wooden plate with the message thoughtfully written on it, accompanied by a delicious brownie! It was such a heartfelt surprise, and our guests were genuinely touched. The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and clearly passionate about creating a memorable experience. Every detail, from the ambiance to the service, was spot-on. We’re so grateful for the warm hospitality and can’t wait to return to The Botanist to host more of our loved ones in the future. Thank you for making our day so special!

Came to the lovely botanists tonight for my best friends birthday, it was absolutely amazing! All of the food was so delicious, and the ambiance was lovely. The live music was so much fun, it felt like a party, and the lead singers voice was incredible! Ethan took care of us all night and made sure everything was perfect! Would 100% recommend!!

A delightful venue with attentive staff and excellent food. We enjoyed drinks on the roof garden and then a fantastic dinner.

Tasty, quality and full value, as always. Beer battered onion rings to die for. You get around 7 large ones though, so suitable to share

Good place to unwind on a morning. Reached there with my BIL and SIL . While they were walking around ,got good time to listen to good music and detox looking into the waters . Good weather , October sky, autumn trees and it was very nice.

Absolutely beautiful. No annoying amusements or exorbitant admission charges (WSM). Good old fashioned pier experience. Enjoy food from the stores or bring your own. You won't get chased off (WSM).

My partner done the crafts fair today and it was a really nice day, meeting friendly people and their dogs. Even though the weather was poor it was a lovely day. Also the cafe shop is really nice.

Beautiful pier with sweeping views of the beach and the ocean. It's a great walk over to the bay. Highly recommended

We love coming here for a walk every now and again. Lovely pier And the seafront is always nice to walk up and down.

Stunning pier with café and cinema against a jaw-dripping background. Would highly recommend checking out the nearby RNLI shop.

Noticed that you can bring dogs on the Penarth Pier. It's a dog friendly area. The cafe/shops got bowls for dogs to drink. There's also gift shop, cafes, and restaurants, shows signs that are dog friendly. Just be careful, as there are signs that doesn't allow dogs on the beach area in the middle as you will be fined, but allows on the far right side.

Lovely food, staff were excellent & courteous and worked with smile on their faces - pub was clean and service was very swift & prompt + good quality drinks on offer - deals on food and drink clearly visible

Very much like a Wetherspoons, with happy hour 5-8. Food ok and not overpriced .Not a great selection though

Great food and drink for a good price. I have only been to 3 pubs in the UK but this one is the best. Thanks Rob 11/10 谢谢

I recently visited this bar for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The highlight for me was the little garden. It was very peaceful to sit next to a tree and enjoy my drink in such a serene setting. I enjoyed the quality of the wine too! I'll definitely be coming back!

Allows dogs, great, but very little gluten free foods on menu for the little humans. Service was excellent. Friendly staff, had a view of the Wheel on the bay water front Only reason a lower rate, nothing gluten free

What a cracking visit! Rob was an absolute legend – his witty banter had us laughing from the moment we walked in. Friendly, sharp, and full of charm, he brings real character to the place. The pints were top-tier – perfectly poured and ice-cold. You can tell they care about quality here. And the food? Absolutely fantastic – piping hot, full of flavour, and hit the spot perfectly. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and a real credit to Rob for making it such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Found this gem when visiting Cardiff absolutely amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. Had the mixed grill and it's the best I have had. Prices fantastic and location perfect.

Stopped here for a drink with friends. Surprisingly spacious, with rooms opening up. I think it's a bit nicer than the Prince of Wales.just around the corner - it's definitely been refurbished more recently in comparison.

Best Weatherspoons experience I have had. Oasis in town so very busy, tables were cleared as soon as people left, service was quick, food was well presented and cooked well. All staff helpful and friendly. Toilets were clean and tidy and had everything you need plus a member of staff arrived to check and tick the record to say check done while I was there. Well done to the management and team. Top marks.

Very big busy bustling pub (gang of police wandered through once, don't know why, no-one seemed bothered) the fish in my battered cod and chips was sooo fresh and delicious.. best ever had Beware of any red chillies 🥵🌶️

Food is okay 👍 was disappointed no hot chocolate. Always a great atmosphere. Pleasant staff. Good location.

Great Wetherspoons just near the train station. We sat outside - plenty of people watching! Service was good, staff were friendly, huge range of drinks at great prices. WiFi was good and although we didn't try the food, what we saw looked good.

One of the better Wetherspoons. Upstairs was light and airy with an outside area where people could smoke. My only criticism was that the table could have been cleaned. The service was quick. The food was the usual Wetherspoons quality. Cheap and cheerful.

Visited the Great Western after the night of our lives at Catfish. We got 7 drinks served in jugs and not once but twice did we go back to the bar. We heard rumours on the street to make The Great Western Great Again & it seems the prophecy has come true. Long life Catfish & long live the Great Western!

I love going to The Lounges because of their huge gluten free menu. Ive been to a few and this did not disappoint. The food was great, a wide variety of gluten free options with a dedicated menu. The cocktails are always great and it's a nice cosy atmosphere. The staff are always friendly too.

First time going to Juno Lounge. We’ve recently moved into the area & noticed it was under refurbishment so we were glad that it was finally open! We had the Tapas & a jug of Sangria.. The food was lovely & the atmosphere was good too. Staff were also friendly & helpful. I’d definitely recommend!

I've visited a few different Lounges venues, and had nothing but positive experiences, and Juno Lounge was more of that. The food was delicious, and delivered quickly, and the drinks were very tasty too! There was a slight confusion with one of the drinks orders, but this was rectified promptly. I was unfortunate to leave a personal belonging on the table, and didn't realise until I was far away from the venue, but Ryan was very helpful in reuniting me with my lost item, so extra thanks to him. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a reasonably priced place to eat/drink.

I loved that there’s full vegan & gluten free menu. I had crispy cauliflower wings with noodles which was really good!! All staff members were really nice

Lovely place to grab a bite especially with their newly renovated upstairs area. It's bright and airy, filled with natural light and a charming garden-like atmosphere that makes dining feel extra special. We asked for clean glasses but the replacement ones were worse, hence the 4* for service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Last Saturday, our whole team from the Albany Road Post Office went to Juno Lounge on Wellfield Road for a team dinner. We had an amazing time! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the food and drinks were excellent, and the service was outstanding. The entire team at Juno Lounge made us feel so well looked after, especially Zoe, who was so friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. A big thank you to everyone working on the bar and the floor staff for making our night special. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great service and a relaxed vibe.

A £10M refurb, a bigger kitchen and a fresh/new vibe can't stop the kitchen from serving frozen onion rings and slaw that tasted like it was made from 2-week old cabbage. It also can't stop the bar serving flat beer at £6.50 a pint. Some of the staff were like zombies, also. Had an even worse experience in the Didcot one a few months back. It aint cheap, either, for what it is. Get it together, guys!

Very cute though bigger than it looks from outside.. didn't get chance to have a proper look around as there was a pilates and pups class on (or maybe something slightly less random) and didn't get chance to stop.in the cafe.. next time! Gallery wasn't what I expected,it was interesting and I'd have thought museum was a better description.. recommended by my daughter who loves the place

An arts centre and cafe in an original church with a fascinating history. The cafe has a good offer for a variety of diets. The exhibition space is upstairs but there is a lift. Well worth a visit

We have been served by a young lady. Super friendly, smiley, kind and hard working. Place is clean including toilets. Food and drink-wise not so special., even a bit pricey. Recommended.

Hidden independent gem in the bay with delicious food and friendly staff. The Yorkshire Wrap was gorgeous, a roast dinner in a cloud of Yorkshire pudding. Very pretty historic building with and they also have open mike nights which are fun. Can just stop for a cup of tea and soak in the atmosphere of the bay. Definitely worth a visit.

I have visited this cafe for years and loved it, but on Saturday I visited with a group of women friends who are all involved in human rights campaigning. Some of us were wearing teeshirts with words like "Womens' Rights" on them. To our stunned amazement the manager suddenly announced, loudly in front of everyone, that our teeshirts were "offensive" and he wanted us to leave! He made no attempt to explain why teeshirts expressing support for women's rights was offensive. The group of included women with professional jobs and reputations, all of whom have decades of service in human rights campaigning, feminism, anti-racism, the trade union movement, and lesbian advocacy. The manager made no attempt to learn anything about us; if he had he would have quickly discovered that none of us hold prejudiced, objectionable, or harmful views. He decided for some bizarre reason that our presence was harmful to his staff and other customers purely because he disagreed with women's rights! It was a very upsetting experience. He also only appeared to become offended by our lawful views AFTER we paid for our coffees and cakes. It is quite extraordinary that women can be thrown out of a coffee shop in modern Wales for believing that we have rights.

Every time I’ve been to the Norwegian Church it has always been absolutely incredible. Everyone who works there has been absolutely lovely and I cannot complain about the quality of service. I understand there was a bit of a situation on Saturday where some people with quite bigoted views were making customers and staff very uncomfortable, despite this they were given grace and just asked to cover up their offensive clothing (which a business is well within its rights to do when it is causing disturbance to other patrons) and the response was for these customers to start verbally abusing and screaming at the employee who requested this and then start spreading lies and a hate campaign on social media platforms. Needless to say, the Norwegian Church should not have to suffer because a bunch of rude customers were unable to cope with not getting their own way, so if you are looking for a fabulous view of Cardiff Bay, lush food and drink, a great atmosphere, good vibes, beautiful scenery, and a complete lack of TERFs then boy oh boy is this the place to be.

We were a little confused to see a Norwegian church in Wales, but it was a fun stop while in Cardiff Bay. There was a cafe inside and on the 2nd floor was a small shop with handmade goods.

Went to the cinema here and had a drink in the lovely sunny courtyard. The cinema was very impressive and not too hot inside. The seats were very plush but a little bit tight on the hips, leg room was fairly good. I really enjoyed this cinema, highly recommended.

Today I attended an event at Chapter Arts Centre focused on patients, medication, and our health.. bringing together doctors, pharmacists, clinics, advocacy groups, and patients alike. The event itself was wonderful: informative, inclusive, and full of positive conversations about how we can better support one another. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the venue’s actions. Attendees were asked to leave because the staff were not up to date on what CBMPs (Cannabis-Based Medicinal Products) are. This decision felt deeply discriminatory toward people who rely on prescribed medication for legitimate health conditions. It’s important to remember that the Equality Act exists for exactly this reason.. to ensure no one is treated unfairly due to their health or medical needs. Stigma should never override the law or compassion. Many of us attending were simply trying to participate in an event about health and wellbeing, yet we were made to feel excluded for managing our health responsibly. I truly hope Chapter Arts Centre takes this as an opportunity to educate their team, review their policies, and work toward becoming a more inclusive and understanding venue. No patient should have to fear being discriminated against for their prescribed treatment.

Great venue. All refurbished since I last visited (more than 10 years ago). Friendly, spacious cafe and bar and comfortable cinema screens. We parked a few minutes walk away

Great location and space It's fab they have vynil music evenings. BUT I have not seen a decent exhibition here for the last three years. They always look like random items from the charity shop bin. I went there again today, and they have empty picture frames on display.. Give local artists a chance, employ local people who are in touch with the community.

Me and my dad went just for the gallery and we absolutely loved and analyzed the current exhibition. We really like what the artists were expressing and felt the difficulties endured by those immigrant women. It was thought provoking. We got a pleasant and interesting visit. I recommend this place especially if you're into modern art.

I discover this beautiful Centre during my last time in Cardiff. Stop over for a coffee and a cake in the large coffee bar. A wonderful ample room, with a lovely atmosphere, where to socialise over a coffee, but there is much than a cafe: cinemas, theatres, exhibition spaces, studios, etc. Im coming back.

I've been coming to Chapter for 6 years and it's such a fantastic and valuable centre for arts and culture in Cardiff. The cinema programme is always really interesting - a mix of films that would be shown at the bigger chains, smaller films that I don't see elsewhere, and series/festivals (e.g. animation film festival, short films etc). I've only been to see a theatre show here once but it was great. The Caffi Bar serves excellent food and drink and is a lovely place to chill out by yourself or with friends. Diolch yn fawr to the Chapter team!

A great learning experience for my son, really good coaches :)

My sons first time on the slope today. There were around 8 in the beginners class & my son had a great tutor. He explained everything in detail & my son throughly enjoyed it. He learnt so much in just an hour which was surpriding considering there were 8 students. Lovely friendly staff. He can't wait to go back. Thanks

Excellent for dog walking! Lots of lanes for human social distancing and dog meetings & exercices. Beautiful autumnal trees and colours. We'll kept by council and users.

Where else do you learn to ski locally? Great staff, all very patient with our differing needs -16 year old with a learning disability, and parents who have never skiied before.

Great hour out for the kids on the dry slopes. Staff are brilliant the only complaints is that it is starting to look in need of some upgrading as some of the items are badly worn.

Booked this for my wife's birthday, and I was very hesitant as the photos of the slope don't look great. I can say this was one of the best experiences I've had for an outdoor activity. Instructor was really patient, friendly and good laugh. The slope is a lot more difficult than it looks on the photo, and you certainly can go fast. Advise you wear thick bottoms if you go, they provide knee pads etc.

A relatively small dry ski slope on the outskirts of Cardiff. Good prices at £10 per session and knowledgeable staff. The hire equipment has been kept in a decent condition too.

Worst bottomless brunch I’ve had. The brunch its self was in a quiet room upstairs away from the atmosphere of the bar. We started are brunch at 8pm and there was one other group there at the time it just had no vibe there. The drinks were very slow and after waiting awhile for another order my friends went to the bar its self and tried placing an order but were told the server would be over in a minute and to wait and that took an extra 5 minutes. After that the service was a bit better with drinks at least. I kept asking where the food was and it didn’t turn up till 9:30pm when we started at 8pm. The food was pre ordered as well which made it more confusing why it took so long. The food was all cold apart from one of my friends where it was slightly warm. My friend did complain about the food and we had a discount off the price which was good and a tray of free shots. We were told the other table had also complained of the food being cold and at the start of the night a group of girls who saw us coming in said it was awful and there food was cold as well. I’d be more underwing if they were busier but it was quiet and the fact it was pre ordered made me more annoyed. I definitely will not be coming back again for the brunch but the bar downstairs did have a good vibe, I’d recommend going here after a brunch somewhere else.

Went in for a quick brunch before exploring the city. Good and quick service, polite staff and yummy food. The chips that came with the burger were probably one of the best ones I've had in a long while. Crunchy fresh and seasoned to perfection. Loved the seating options too. Overall great experience! Definitely recommend this place.

Had a fantastic experience in The Philharmonic for my best friend’s hen do, there were 16 of us so we were a big group. Plus it was Saturday on a rugby day so it was super busy. We booked for bottomless brunch and the experience was great we all had back to back drinks about 7 per person and the food was out at once and all hot/tasty. We were all super happy, big thank you to the young girl serving us, we were a rowdy group but she was attentive and kept the drinks flowing!

The experience was genuinely awful. First, I was charged a £120 deposit after increasing my booking from 10 to 12 people (double the original £50 deposit with no explanation, despite asking three times). On arrival, we were given three separate tables scattered around the room — despite booking for one group. When I raised this with a staff member, she was rude, dismissive, wouldn’t make eye contact, and rolled her eyes at colleagues. We asked to move to a round table that could actually seat us together — only to find it covered in vomit. We reported it, expecting a proper response, but got another eye roll and the bare minimum of cleaning. More vomit was later found behind cushions and on the floor. Staff called us “high maintenance” for asking for basic hygiene — WE CLEANED UP SOMEONE ELSES VOMIT ON OUR TABLE. The same staff member later accused us of only submitting 4 food orders (we booked for 12), dropped her pen on one of my guests, didn’t apologise, and continued ignoring questions while writing on her clipboard. When I asked who to speak to about all this, she shrugged and said, “The head office is in London – not my problem.” We had ONE drink in the first hour of a bottomless brunch, the food arrived cold, and the staff were consistently rude. Totally unacceptable service, poor hygiene, and a complete lack of professionalism. Would not return and don’t recommend.

Lovely welcome from the bar person as we arrived. Just popped in out of the rain and was immediately informed of the two for one offer on. Great choice of cocktails and usual bar drinks menu. Huge pub so on a wk end I can imagine it would be quite a place to add to the crawl round town and a great spot for big groups.

Went for a bottomless brunch and was served by Sophie. Drinks came out fast and were lovely with a brilliant selection for everyone’s taste. The pizza was great! Would highly recommend and good value for money!!! Sophie was absolutely amazing and made our night extra special with great service and recommendations! Thank you ✨

We had bottomless brunch and had a wonderful time. Abbie was a fabulous server. Great service, yummy food and so many rounds of drinks. We love Abbie, hope you get a raise for being amazing xx

Very nice antique mall lots of selection more clothing on the 2/3 floor all the vendors were nice. You will need cash to get anything

A great Market and Venue. The roof top space is fantastic. A really friendly place. It feels a bit like it still sports the attitude and openess of the 80's/90's in the 2020's. Looking forward to returning asap

I love visiting this centre, there are many smaller shops inside with all sorts of things. My personal two favourite are the gemstone shop and the comic book shop on the 1st floor. The gemstone shop also sells fossils, some jewellery and military/war related items. I visit often and always find something to bring home. Definitely worth a visit, especially when you are visiting Wales/cardiff.

some great stuff in here, mainly for me great for coins, inerts, military & police badges/patches and bargain jewellery worth more than it's sold all the sellers seem nice only wish it were open more days

We did the sip and paint event. It was fab! highly recommend. Great venue and the staff were so nice!! Our painting not so good!!!

Always love looking around this place, 3 floors of antiques, an art gallery, roof top cafe, few hours we'll spent !

Awesome place like going down memory lane, got some nice things

Great location for city centre! Short walk from everything central. Lovely rooms, spacious and comfy beds but would usually expect a bigger bed than a double in a 4* hotel but other than that it was very comfy. There was a door which was locked which must lead to the room next door and when the people staying in that room got back at 3am it was like they were in our room, we could hear every word they were saying so walls must be v thin or at least through that door. Staff nice and breakfast was just ok - would stay again but not for more than one night :)

I have to say that my recent experience at this hotel was nothing short of appalling. From the moment I interacted with Ross on the night desk, it became clear that he is completely ill-equipped to handle the role he has been given. His attitude was not only passively aggressive but also dismissive, unhelpful, and frankly, incompetent. It is astonishing that someone with such a lack of professionalism and basic customer service skills could be trusted to manage the front desk during any shift, let alone the night shift when guests are most vulnerable to needing assistance. To make matters worse, the security guard on duty was no better—completely cut from the same cloth. Rude, unapproachable, and utterly disinterested in helping guests, he only added to what quickly became one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. At no point did I feel like a valued guest; instead, I was made to feel like an inconvenience for simply expecting the minimum level of courtesy and professionalism. While this hotel may be inexpensive, that should never justify such shocking behavior or such a lack of basic service standards. Cheap rates do not excuse rudeness, incompetence, or an environment that makes paying customers feel unwelcome and unsafe. I will never stay at this hotel again and strongly advise anyone considering it to look elsewhere. There are plenty of other hotels that understand the meaning of customer service and guest care. Do yourself a favor and avoid what was, for me, a horrific and deeply disappointing experience.

A lovely hotel situated in Cardiff City Centre. The room was spacious and of a high quality and the staff were very pleasant. There is no on-site parking, but there are several car parks in the area.

Hotel was very good although the room was small. The one thing we were very disappointed in was the size of the bed. It appeared to only be a standard 4'6" bed - we are used to a 5' King size bed and as a result, we didn't sleep very well, as we were afraid of falling out. Such a pity as, otherwise, we were very happy with the cleanliness, food and location. Would definitely recommend that you replace those small beds with at least King size beds, for comfort.

Nice location and breakfast buffet. Sadly goes down hill quickly. Older property in decline. Elevator out of service, ice machines don’t work, rooms humid and stuffy. Staff clearly don’t care when issues reported. Many better hotels close by. Best to avoid.

The staff at the Clayton hotel were so friendly and helpful and the services and bar were lovely. Location was superb with just a few minutes walk from the station. The only real complaint would be the shower / bath is really slippery so would definitely recommend using the bath mat provided.

Perfect location, cannot hear the railway. Always love stating here even tho the price is quite high, but it's city centre. Lovely bed, and very quiet and dark with he curtains closed. Thank you for a lovely stay

Just had a fantastic stay! Thank you to the lovely team their, they were all so polite and kind. On check in, they were very helpful and even upgraded our room, and as we were on a couples date night it made the trip extra special. The room service is divine, the food looks to good to eat and tastes even better. Lots of little complimentary items, toiletries, coffees, water and even a shoe shine kit. It's also the little details, we told the kind lady at check in we were just having a date night to get away together, and she listened, offered recommendations and wished us well, every person politely asked if it was OK to enter the room before doing so to drop of room service, wished us well and they called us within seconds of dropping off breakfast to apologise for missing sugar from our tray, offering to bring some up, along with anything else we may need, but we had plenty as there was a large variety of supplies for teas and coffees. Highly recommend a stay, made our date night extra special and already planning another stay!

Wonderful hotel. Rooms are spacious and well presented clean modern. Great location just minutes from train station and main strip for restaurants shops etc. Great bars etc. I would say out of last few stays that I have been here I have not always had the best welcome from reception. My last trip the lady booked us in but was quite abrupt and I was made to feel unwelcome which was disappointing. Also be aware parking under the Hotel is convenient but the spaces are ridiculously tight almost impossible unless you are a confident driver. It’s also £25 for 24 hours which is not mentioned anywhere on their site, that I could see. Despite above I would still go back as I think it’s a superb hotel for Cardiff City Centre.

First time stay here, and liked the hotel very much. Comfy rooms with a lovely bathroom. The only thing that could be improved in the room is the air conditioning. We didn’t want it on, and after following the instructions multiple times we thought we had managed to turn it off. However despite this it kept turning back on and was very noisy, especially when trying to sleep. Sounds like the fan might need fixing. We were also shocked that the car park was £25 per day, and it felt like a lot of money especially as we were already staying there and had paid for the room. Other than this excellent stay, and in a great location.

We had a wonderful stay at the Radisson Blu Cardiff. The rooms were clean, fresh, and very comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located close to the shops, which was a great bonus. The only improvement I would suggest is providing bottled water in the fridge, as this would be a nice touch. Overall, it was an excellent stay, and we would happily

Very spacious room with everything I needed. There seemed to be an adjoining door ... Lots of loud talking coming from that room. Not great sound proofing. Tea tray was ok, but there were no decaf drinks. I did actually go to reception to see if they had any and they gave me decaf coffee... Oh and a hot chocolate, so that was great. They have toiletries in case you forget anything like I did. Need was huge and very comfortable. Plenty of power sockets near the bed.

No hairdryer, iron, ironing board or luggage rack in room. Filthy stained carpet. Dust everywhere. “Leather” coated bedroom furniture scratched and dirty. Brown stain in one coffee cup that came off when washed. Room and corridor on 7th floor stank. Soundproofing nonexistent. At check out nobody asked how our stay was, probably because they knew they put us in a horrible room. Avoid this hotel at all costs. Only good thing - the lift is fast.

Excellent Amenities, Key Card System Needs Improvement. This was a good experience overall! They offer a convenient in-room breakfast delivery service, but I'd recommend hitting the buffet—it's very good and worth the visit unless you prefer complete privacy. The fitness room is well-equipped for a quick workout, featuring a treadmill, cycle, bench, and dumbbells (photo attached). The sole recurring issue was the finicky room key card. It frequently failed to unlock the door on the first swipe, which happened to a few of my colleagues as well. When I mentioned this, the receptionist informed me the cards are sensitive and can be overwritten when placed next to a mobile phone. This system definitely adds unnecessary friction to the stay.

Big open space close to Cardiff centre. Let down by no toilets or facilities. Free parking on Saturdays. Field containing lots of public playing fields for cricket football, rugby and other sports. Not much shelter if raining.

A beautiful and large series of fields all connected together (you have coopers field and Llandaff fields next to this one) and there's also the Taffs trail right next to it (near the riding stables). There's a lot to see and do. But it's especially nice to be able to go somewhere with no traffic and little concrete or tarmac. It puts parks in other cities to shame just with its large size and how well it's normally kept. There's normally football or rugby posts or cricket markings on the fields themselves so it's good for sports players. Things to note: - I recommend that you visit during the week. It gets very busy on the weekend with people travelling a cross the city to visit. Parking will also be more difficult on the weekends, especially if your looking for free parking - People often have picnics on the weekend, causing the bins to be full. Keep in mind the park is often policed and I have seen them pounce on people and fining them for littering, so best course of action is to take your rubbish with you. - Like the rest of Cardiff dangerous cyclists are a really problem here. They go very quick with little regard for walkers, children or pets. Some are also confrontational, even when they're in the wrong. Be careful on and off the paths and remember to picture and report any dangerous cycling. This might force the council to do something about them.

Lovely big open space to explore. Footpath is shared with bikes but with care ok. Lots of dog walkers. Nice open areas for them to run.

Big open fields with various sports pitches, well kept. Parking is small but reasonable prices. The river walk is nice. Llandaff fields have more facilities on offer, this feels a bit bare in comparison.

Well run peaceful and quiet. Lots of wild life squirrels bird song walks along the Taff ,close to city centre. What're could you ask for.

We had a great peaceful weekend here. Great facilities. The reception staff were polite and helpful. We had a great sandwich that was fully filled with a small side salad and large mug of coffee at Pedal Power Cafe each and the price was really good. We will definitely book her again. Serviced pitches, electric and water, so there is no need to haul it from a central water area. Also, there was a grid to drive over on the way out to dispose of your waste water.

Busy gathering place in the sun with people playing team games and generally enjoying this open area on the west side of the River Taff. It links into Landaff fields to the west through the boundary wall and Bute Park across the Blackweir Bridge.
