Mercure Cardiff North Hotel

I stayed here for a business trip for one week. The room seemed to be clean but it is so dark that you can’t really tell if it is clean or not. That’s actually an issue - the lightening is bad. I couldn’t really work in the room since it had only a yellow ambient lightening and not a normal main source of light. The bathroom can be slightly cold if you don’t leave the door open so that warm air from the A/C can enter. It is shameful that they don’t have a breakfast included, especially for long stays in the hotel which is not so cheap and out of the center… at least one small sandwich would make things better, but nop 👎🏼. Another thing is that the area is not very nice. Unless you have to do something in that area, i don’t recommend you to stay. I was even told by taxi drivers to not walk around alone after it gets dark. Before I knew that, I did take a walk and it really felt a bit unsafe. The staff was ok, I didn’t have much contact with them. Only had an incident when I arrived - they couldn’t find me in their system (it was booked under other name by mistake but I actually changed it a week before arrival so I don’t know why they didn’t have updated information). There is a small gym, but almost all machines, except one, are for cardio exercises. Almost no restaurants or shops in the area.

I had a very amazing stay in the hotel, all the services were okay.

I stayed with my dad just for 2 nights and I can’t emphasise enough how lovely our stay was. Staff were so welcoming and chatted to us at the bar. We had both breakfast and dinner in the hotel and there was a super good range of items to choose from on the menu. Really good food. The rooms were nice and modern and had everything you need. Would definitely recommend!

Poor first impressions with an empty booze bottle thrown in the floor at the entrance, staff were disinterested and there was no politeness or conversation, we felt like we were a bother to them. Room was large but just unorganised, the kettle was situated in an area without an electrical input. Bathroom was a disappointment, broken toilet seat, porcelain was cracked in the shower and sink and the electrical input was hanging off the wall. We asked for an extra duvet but told we could t as the housekeeping staff had finished their shift (430pm) The bedroom window was broken and we couldnt shut it which wasn’t a problem as it was warm but it was full of cobwebs and dirt. On the plus side the bed was super comfy and clean. Went to the bar area, chairs were stained and dirty, most beers were out and then the gent serving us a dressed me as sir (I am most definitely a female) The worse part was breakfast, at £33 for two I don’t expect a 5* meal but I do expect a decent breakfast, there was no eggs, there was bacon and sausages and some mushrooms and that was about it, I asked if there would be more food coming out and I was told there was but it didn’t come out. The coffee machine was broken but did get fixed whilst we were there. We did try to discuss this in our check out but again the reception staff did not talk to us, we didn’t get asked about our stay and there were no apologies or further discussions when we told them about our experience.
