The Coal Exchange Hotel Cardiff

The Coal Exchange Hotel is a historic, luxury hotel situated 450 yards from Cardiff Bay. The Grade II* listed heritage building stands tall today as an integral piece of Cardiff’s history. Renowned for helping to shape the city into the cosmopolitan Welsh capital, the building is treasured by locals and a must-see for those visiting the city. While its walls were once filled with the ambition and passion from local trade negotiators, its role as a shipping industry hub was left in the past, and the building was left to deteriorate. Bringing a breath of fresh air to Cardiff Bay and assigning the building a lasting role in the city, the Coal Exchange was born, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Rooms at the Coal Exchange are stylish and contemporary with a touch of elegance and tradition. Our spacious rooms feature everything from large flat-screen TVs to whirlpool baths and free WiFi.

Absolutely perfect hotel, 100% recommend, I will return to the Coal Exchange Hotel!

What an absolutely amazing hotel! My friends and I stayed in the six person room and it was incredible! The room was amazing, breakfast was delicious, the location was perfect, and the staff were the friendliest staff I have ever experienced at a hotel! I have rebooked for my next trip to Cardiff so I can come back with my fiancé!!!!

Excellent hotel and very helpful staff

Reviewed By reviewbypaul

Stayed for two nights and would highly recommend. We had a sea view room on the 3rd floor (they have an elevator) which was immaculate and had lots of lovely touches - such as eye mask and ear plugs in case of seagulls. We asked for our room not to be cleaned but we were left a note under the door to confirm and if we required anything just to contact reception. Breakfast was very good with great selection. The restaurant was closed when we visited but we were offered a table setting up if we wanted to bring back a takeaway. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Reviewed By davidbE6465RN

We stayed here recently for 2 nights booking the rooftop rooms for the second time. This is a beautiful hotel and the staff are amazing, helpful and so accommodating to whatever you need. The rooftop rooms are highly recommended as they have the most amazing views from the balcony. Breakfast is delicious with a choice of cooked and continental. A very enjoyable family break. Highly recommended.

Very positive experience at the Future Inn. Stayed for a family wedding. From the first minute to the last the staff were spot on. The hotel is very well run, it's clean, quiet and the breakfast was very nice. Definitely stay again. The only gripe, the bed was very firm.

The Black Boy Inn is a listed building which is situated in the historic town walls of the Royal Borough of Caernarfon. The Inn is within easy walking distance to the town centre, and the famous 13th-century Castle. An old Inn dating back to 1522 and with its wooden paneling, low ceilings, and thick wooden support beams generates a cosy 'Olde Worlde' Welsh atmosphere. The Black Boy is a very busy Inn; please do not expect it to be a slow laid back hotel. It is in the centre of the tourist hub of North Wales and long wait times can be norm in middle of summer.

Short break away , amazing quality

Reviewed By Peanutphoenix

A surprisingly pleasant little hotel. The room we had had much more space than anticipated and a massive, comfy bed ! ( I think we struck lucky with a disabled room so got the extra space) The room came with a little kitchen and fridge etc so you could take your own food and stuff without relying on local amenities. Everything was lovely and clean and the staff were friendly . Breakfast was included and dam was it good food ! If you stay in this area and need somewhere good to stay I strongly advice here ! Staff are friendly , everything is well kept and the food is delicious! Only downside is parking is charged per night or you have to park around the corner on a public car park which is free between 10pm and 10am

Relaxing hotel

Reviewed By Dream721413

Stayed at the Voco whilst going to see Ed Sheeran at the principality stadium. This hotel was absolutely perfect! I can’t fault anything about it to be honest. The staff were excellent, especially the gentleman on the concierge desk that helped us with getting a taxi to the event! Made it stress free for us, so thankyou! Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and could look out to Cardiff bay whilst eating! Our room was so clean/spacious/modern and even had a balcony facing onto Cardiff bay. Little sweet treat left in the room to thank us for being IHG member, nice little touch. The spa and pool area was lovely..You had to book a time slot for the pool but we never struggled to get one. Be mindful that you do have to pay for parking at this hotel but can do it at reception. (They will get you to enter your number plate).

Where do I start From the second you get here it's clear how much the staff take pride in where they work We stayed for 2 nights in the most amazing comfy room with a gorgeous sea view, and we were just across the road from the pier The room was spotlessly clean and there was plenty of tea coffee milk etc for you and it was clear how to get more if needed. The beds were so comfy and again sheets etc spotlessly clean The staff here are amazing they can't do enough for you and it's obvious that they all get on so well as the atmosphere they make makes you feel comfortable and the whole place feel pleasant The food oh wow the food amazing isn't a good enough word. The breakfast plenty of choice and all so delicious even the toast We ate in the restaurant 1 night I wish we had both nights again plenty of choice all came out well presented and hot and the taste I cannot describe I honestly think its the nicest food I've eaten when dining out ever Noone can explain how beautiful or how amazing your stay here is the words don't seem enough you have to experience it for yourself and I highly recommend you do you won't be disappointed The only thing I'd change is our time here went far to fast Again I cant say enough how much I highly recommend this hotel I won't stay anywhere else now and will definitely be back again at least once more this year Thank you too all the staff for making our stay so amazing Love liz and sue (Room 7)

Welcoming Friendly Staff make up for shortfalls

Reviewed By lil_miss_brum

Staff are excellent, can't do enough to help. Room was fine, comfortable for a business stay. Prior to stay, email received to confirm shortage of staff and to not expect same service as usual. Bit of a shame. Rooms not being turned around during stay should have been optional, not by default. At £100 a night, having the tea and coffee tray refilled automatically should certainly be a minimum expectation. Not give reception yet another task to manage. A lot of menu items in the restaurant were not available on the first 2 (of 3) nights of our stay - we ate out on night 3. Location was good in terms of accessing Penrhos and Trearddur Bay for a change of scenery after work/alternative restaurant options.
