더 코얼 익스체인지 호텔

For the price point this hotel does not offer the required amenities that command it. Poor room lighting. no main bedroom lights, only lamps, no a/c, just a fan not enough sockets. Double bed is small and room is small. Weird poster on ceiling of some random looking down at you with some historical meaning. The pictures were taken prior to the works happening.

I stayed here for one night and it worked. It’s a great location both for the bay and for town. Downsides the room was very very warm and no fan or air con. The headboard (feature wall) was rubbed and flaking and the fantastic vintage mirrors and wardrobe well the dust in them wow. I actually started calling one of them …. For what I paid the room was great …. It’s a maze of a building and would I stay again? If the price was right yes. The staff were so super helpful and pleasant the bed was comfortable and the whirlpool bath a bonus. Also the huge blackout drapes when I woke in the morning I thought it was 3am. Great find great value just don’t look too closely

We received a warm welcome at the Exchange hotel. Our second floor room (King standard) was light and nicely decorated but had a musty smell. We were quickly moved to a first floor room that was spacious and tastefully decorated. The location is excellent for Cardiff Bay and we enjoyed walking the barrage to Penarth and dining in the Eli Jenkins pub. On our return, I wanted a shower but discovered there was no hot water. We contacted reception who were apologetic and advised that we could be upgraded to a room with a bath. As it was getting late (8pm) we kindly refused. The bed was very comfortable and our room was quiet. In the morning it took 15 mins running the shower to achieve luke warm water! The breakfast room was beautifully decorated and the food was delicious and plentiful. Would I stay again, despite the hot water calamity, its a resounding YES!!!

Fantastic location for cardiff bay and city.

The hotel and rooms have seen better days.
