Stayed for 2 nights at this hotel (2 adults and 1 child) - It was very good value for money. The rooms were basic but very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and it is excellently situated in Penarth with plenty of parking space. Beds very comfortable. Bar food was excellent - taste and price. We were in Penarth... More

Recently stayed for a night at this hotel - The hotel and service were superb. Room very comfortable and bar had a great selection of beers. Very reasonable price and would highly recommend. More

Checked in for one nights, pre paid stay, if we had not already paid at attempting to check in I would have left! Asked for £100 or credit card as security and to quote "incase you pinch anything like the telly" The young girl behind the bar who was attempting to check us in was trying to be helpful, however...

Just returned from a one night stay at this hotel, and we will not be returning. The room was small and certainly not to the standard I would expect. The constant noise from the Karaoke in the bar kept us awake until midnight. The door to the car park was locked leaving a long walk with our cases to the... More

On arrival at the hotel we were checked in by the manager who was very unwelcoming. He hardly made eye contact and I did not smile once, and only spoke as much as was needed to check us in. Because of this we did not use the bar during our stay. The room was average but spotlessly clean and the... More

House hunting in Cardiff for our son's University stay, we wanted an overnight stay close enough to the city centre but also near to the seaside at Penarth. By far the most reasonable option was at the Cefn Mably Hotel – we weren't expecting too much as the rooms are above a pub/restaurant. However, we were pleasantly surprised at the... More

I chose the Cefn Mably because it was the closest hotel to a function I was attending on the night I stayed. The staff were cheerful, welcoming and helpful when I arrived. The room was fine; clean and spacious, with a flat screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities and a very good en suite bath/shower room. Everything considered it... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights at Yule 2011. I used to use it only as a Pub. The family have had a lot of (cosmetic) work done on the decor and fittings. The kitchen provides a VERY Good range of Top Value Meals...a Scandinavian will be in AWE of the value. There are regular busses from Penarth... More

Taken by surprise by the quality of this pub/hotel. Much larger than expected with decent sized rooms, tastefully decorated and finished to a high standard. We stayed for New Year celebrations and found Marina and Ovis to be gracious hosts. Food was excellent with a well stocked bar - which we did our best to deplete during New Year celebrations!... More
