I wasn't expecting much for the price but was still left disappointed. The room was very cold, bathroom even more so. Toilet door didnt close properly, bed linen was dirty. No one at reception to check in. I definitely would not stay here again. The restaurant on the other hand is decent. More

I had Room 9, which was pleasantly and recently decorated. It had two single beds and an ensuite with a bath with shower above it. All extras e.g. coffe, tea, etc were provided. The full English breakfast was particularly good. An italian restaurant is attached if guests wish to have an evening meal. I felt this hotel provided good value... More

The Glendale and Villa Napoli's decor has not changed in the 20 years I've been living in Penarth. It would not be my first choice for dining as my husband and I've been kept waiting an hour and half for a table in the past (having booked well in advance), but I went recently with a group of friends who'd...

Whenever I am in South Wales on business this is always my first choice. Tony, Franco and the other staff here cannot do enough for you. Considering I visit maybe every couple of months they always remember my name and welcome u as if you were family! With regards the other comments on here about room 7. I regularly get... More

The hotel owner is very welcoming, the hotel communal areas seem to be pretty clean. The owner did warn us the room was small. He was right! The room itself was quite unwelcoming. The lock was very stiff to the point that even my husband was struggling! The room had a small toilet cubicle, the bit where the tiles met... More

Initial impression is uninviting with side entrance, little sign and no one to be seen. Restaurant is closed on a Monday which makes it a ghost town. Coffee sachets were not replemished. very noisy at night when restaurant was opened. Shower is not fit for purpose. I ask myself would the owner live in room 7 and the answer would... More

Stayed here to go to the rugby in Cardiff, had to find someone to check in as no-one on reception, was handed keys by one of the waiters in the restaurant and left to own devices. No information in the room as to what time breakfast, where it was served, etc. When we asked what time they said whenever we... More

It is worth noting that we did not book here based on anything other than the fact that the attached Villa Napoli was used in BBC's Gavin and Stacey, so we shouldn't really complain. However, staff seemed totally untrained in hotel management, reminded me of the mafia in Only Fools and Horses 'Miami Twice'. Corridors and fire exits cluttered with... More
