- "Everything we couldn't fault it" - "breakfast and rooms are the best in Cardiff." - "Great location, lovely room with a comfortable bed." - "Everything" - "Beautiful space. The was comfortable and we enjoyed the terrace and honesty bar. The food was also great!" - "Parador 44 has excellent staff who are very amiable and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and the common area lounge is a really nice place. The coffee machine which is supposed to provide free coffee there did not work half the time that I was there and didn't have any milk available to make mixed drinks for the rest of the time, which was a little inconvenient since there is no coffee in the room itself. The breakfast is light but delicious and you can add a heavier meal for a modest amount. I very much appreciated the staff helping me get a package at the hotel and also assisting with from printing that I needed to get done."

- "rooms are amazing beautifully furnished very cosy. Restaurant food was perfect and good value. Very efficient and helpful staff. Fabulous place" - "Breakfast was a separate payment, the food was excellent except for the bacon which was unusually salty." - "We had no idea that the rooms would be floating pods. What an amazing concept. We absolutely loved the experience. The room was beautiful. The bed soft but luxurious. It was spotlessly clean. There was no movement and had it not been for the Gin Palace moored outside out French windows, it was like any well appointed hotel room on dry land! However when you left the pod, you walked back along the pontoons. It was wonderful and unlike most hotels, a memory making experience. The staff were genuinely welcoming and Beca did an excellent job. Dinner and breakfast were pretty good, with quality ingredients. Ellena looked after us really well. I would highly recommend this place to stay."

We ate in the restaurant and had some wine and everything was good and very reasonable." - "We had our wedding reception here 30 years ago and so returned for our anniversary. It was a bit like coming home-it had changed but was the same. Instead of the swimming pool there is a lovely sized ‘posh gazebo’ (this phrase doesn’t do it justice), which allows for inside/outside dining etc. and really adds something to the outside area. The staff were really accommodating and friendly. The dinner and breakfast was a really good standard. We even had some celebratory chocolate from the team post dinner-to celebrate our Anniversary which was thoughtful. Our room-we swear it was the same room we had on our wedding evening-but redecorated-was spacious clean and tastefully decorated. The bar choice was good and staff knew how to make a good Aperol spritz ( you’d be surprised how many good places don’t). Maybe we shouldn’t leave it so long to go back next time!"
