Nice hotel and staff, Would have had an excellent rating if not for a very noisy woman waking us up at 3 am by being very noisy in the corridor for a prolonged period of time.

Although we only stayed one night here, we were delighted with the service and experience at the Cardiff Hilton. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable (thanks for the dinner recommendation! ), and our room was perfect—quiet, with wonderful views of Cardiff Castle. Would stay again!

We stayed in room 335 and when you flush the toilet water flies out of the toilet bowl each time.
My partner went to Oasis and the bouncer on the door on Friday night pushed him on the chest twice.
