Location good. Reception staff at check-in not overly welcoming. Did not smile. Went through the process of checking us in, but we then had to ask what time room would be available and also about parking. Phone in room wasnt working so came back down to tell her as we wanted to order room service. Told us to fiddle with the lead. I explained that I had tried that but not working. She said she would sent maintainance, but nobody came so i had to go down to bar to order room service.

Pleasant stay at Future Inns Cardiff Bay

We as a family of 4 had a pleasant stay at Future Inns Cardiff Bay. We booked 2 rooms and they were both together. The hotel location was good, about 10 minutes drive from the city centre of Cardiff. The rooms were clean and good size for 2 adults. The staff were friendly, both in reception and the restaurant. The carpark was an added bonus because it was free. The breakfast was good which consists of hot and cold foods but can be improved with more variety. The reason for giving a 4 star and not a 5 because there was no fridge in the room and one of the rooms did not have water bottles as stated in the description. We had to ask for it, whereas the other room did. Overall we were satisfied with our stay for the amount we had payed for.

Stayed in family room. Loved an idea of double beds rather than pull out sofa beds for kids. Room was spacious. Free parking was a bonus. Will stay there again. Hotel restaurant was disappointing. Ordered pizza and burger. Burger was ok. Pizza tasted exactly like Domino’s frozen one from the supermarket for £5, but charged £15 here . When asked they confirmed they do not make tgem. Wouldn’t go back to that restaurant and pay those prices for “cook from frozen” food.
