The Coal Exchange Hotel Mount Stuart Square, Cardiff CF10 5FQ

"The ambiance of the building shines through, it's feels authentic and special. My double room was large, amazing spa jacuzzi bath with great shower overhead. No need for a shower curtain - a pet hate. Food was awesome - never eaten such succulent and fat free lamb. Breakfast was probably the best I have eaten in a hotel, even though it was buffet style. All hot but more importantly the sausage and bacon was great quality."

"There is a historic sense of place and feel about the listed building that’s evident from both the external facade and the interior. Location is great in terms of proximity to the Bay. Staff were welcoming & helpful. The room was comfortable & grand. Double jacuzzi bath is a treat! The interior hall was largely out of bounds to guests and open for functions only. As a marketing ploy this should be opened up for all and its grandeur and history promoted as this in effect was and should be the heart of the exchange. There were corridors leading to & from the rooms that gave a temporary works in progress and unkempt feel to the place which was a shame and the possible difference of my 4 star as opposed to 5 star rating. Would recommend and look forward to staying again."

"My boyfriend and I had to come back to this wonderful hotel! We came here back in February and have had another stay this weekend. We cannot recommend this hotel enough, and say enough good things about it. Yet again, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay blissful. The food at the restaurant was stunning - we had breakfast on the both days, and also an evening meal, which was 10/10! Room service was also wonderful, we could enjoy beautiful food whilst enjoying the comforts of the room. We already can’t wait to plan our next stay. Would recommend to anyone and everyone who is looking for a pure blissful break."

"Love, love, love, this place!!! The history, the ambiance, the quirkiness. Every part of our stay was lovely. The staff was amazing and very knowledgeable, the beds were comfortable, the dreamy jet tub and even and the restaurant was fabulous. I generally do not eat at hotel restaurants because they are usually overpriced and bland but this one was great! The hotel is ideally located; a short walk to the wharf, restaurants, bars, and shops. And to top it off you can’t beat the price. What a value for the richness and timeless antiquity."

"Fantastic experience at the Princess Brunch with my daughter. We had a brilliant time, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food nice, hot and plentiful. The building is tucked out of the way but only a five minute walk from Cardiff Bay train station so easy enough to find and get to. Would recommend the events. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps have the tables around the edge of the room with the entertainment in the centre. We were seated at the very back of the room, so I couldn't not sit and watch my daughter nor could she sit and eat her food as she wanted to be up. As the tables next to me didn't turn up I felt like I was on my own and missing everything."
