Glendale Hotel

Very close to train stations and bus stops that take you into Cardiff within 20 mins. Very clean and staff were lively. The restaurant downstairs was great too.

This isn't a big deal but the room I got had a bathroom not attached to the room which was unexpected. It was fine but just a little inconvenient.

I stay at the Glendale regularly to visit my daughter and granddaughter who live nearby. It is a lovely hotel above an Italian restaurant with very convenient access to Penarth train station with regular trains into nearby Cardiff. It has both single and double size rooms and I usually choose a single. The rooms are well appointed with rather basic shower facilities, tea & coffee etc. a very nice full cooked English breakfast is available (extra) and of course there is the very convenient excellent restaurant downstairs. The owner/manager is very friendly and chatty.

The staff were helpful and professional. Although the room needed to be updated nevertheless it was comfortable. I enjoyed the meals.

I was unaware of the stairs. At 74 i found it difficult. I would consider staying again, but would specify a room on a lower floor.

Quiet room, pleasant outlook, characteristic building with restaurant below. Good location for town.

No faults

The room was bright and clean, lovely crisp bedding. Tea and coffee provided along with a hairdryer and small iron and ironing board. The bathroom was also well lit, plenty of towels and loo roll, and mini toiletries provided. We didn’t have the opportunity to try an evening meal as the restaurant closes on a Sunday and Monday (understandable in the current climate), but the restaurant surroundings looked comfortable and well decorated and staged. It has made us want to return and try their food.

The bathroom towel rail was very hot and burned if you touched it - unfortunately you couldn’t turn it down or off, so we covered it with towels to protect us from touching it accidentally.

The room was comfortable and clean and did what it said on the tin.

Bath towels, rather than bath sheets Food finished at 9pm and you couldn’t get a drink after 10:30. Was quite expensive (£125) for what you got

One of the rooms was very nice and comfortable. The single room less so.

Bath towels instead of bath sheets. Good finished at 9pm and you couldn’t get a drink after 10:30. The occupant of the single room complained that there was no hot water.

There was no mattress or pillow protectors which isn’t very pleasant.
