This hotel is very centrally located so ideal for walking into the shops/restaurants. It is a very large hotel so slightly impersonal. Room was huge and excellent bathroom but the bedroom itself was slightly shabby with stained carpet, wardrobe rather chipped and bottom of chair was falling out. Breakfast was ok but very processed.

Had booked the room for a good night sleep well that did not turn out to be the case. The thud of the music started at about 9pm and went on until after 12 O'clock when I had to ring reception to complain about the noise. it was hurrendous.

The room was very dated for a superior room and furniture not very well placed. The bathroom however was quite nice. There was alot of music noise coming from the ground floor I found out when I rang the reception to complain. We were on the 7th floor. The music eventually stopped at 12.10am.

The spa was also great. Would definitely recommend this hotel and spa.

We booked the travelzoo offer for a superior room wiith wine and breakfast. It was one of the best deals we have had. The room was on the top floor and was excellent. Breakfast is a good international hotel standard; we stayed two nights and the service was very different on day two, I suspect this was because of coach parties on day one. Room was clean, apart from the windows, which I guess don't get cleaned very often. The hotel is one of the highest buildings around so the views across the river are superb.

My friend & I had a lovely night & day at the Mercure hotel. We bought our stay & spa day on travelzoo & were pleasantly surprised on arrival. Checking was pleasant & easy. The room was massive & clean with good views across the city. We had booked a twin room but on arrival we found a super king bed which we laughed about & shared without invading each other’s privacy. We went out for a lovely meal in the nearby high street. The hotel was peaceful & we slept soundly. The breakfast was amazing with buffet style help yourself.. lovely. We went for our day at the spa & wasn’t disappointed. I had an Indian head massage with Grace & she was brilliant. The only 2 ways I can see they can enhance on a stay is change the music in the Relax Room to something more apt for Relaxing & make the swimming pool warmer & quieter.. unfortunately screaming kids whilst trying to chill out after our relaxing spa treatments but still a highly enjoyable experience. Thank you

Hotel and room was very good. The bathroom first class. The breakfast was excellent. Evening food there was mediocre but expensive. I found the menu unappealing and did not enjoy the food. I think the prices are over the top for the quality of the food. Wine was very good. You can get better food in central cardiff for much less than that in the hotel . If I stayed again I would not eat at night there. The parking is quite expensive (£14 per day)
Other Comments
The excellent rooms could only be improved by having more individual light switches so one person could read in comfortable chairs but still allowing the other person to sleep. At the present time all main lights are controlled by one switch. I think Holland House should look seriously at the evening food menu and its cooking. It needs to be improved! Very unappealing at present. The breakfast was excellent.

Excellent Travel Zoo deal to a first class hotel. A superior room which was excellent. Breakfast was good with an adequate choice. Restaurant staff were polite and efficient. The 'check in' was easy, quick and efficient. The receptionist was polite and very helpful, ensuring that we were given a room on floor of choice (initially made request of low floor when booking)
Other Comments
It must be noted that the wine included in the deal was not to the value of £22 per bottle as quoted in the Travel Zoo ad. The choice was one of two, either a very dry white Spanish (no medium) or a one off red. Incidentally the bar person at the time (male) was axtremelybrude when asked was there a medium white available. The attitude was 'take if or leave it' so we accepted a bottle of red which did not make pleasant drinking. Part of the bottle contents was left in the room on departure.

I enjoyed my stay at this lovely hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. The only thing I would comment on is that the Spa area looked a little 'tired' and lacked a relaxied atmosphere that other spas have.. The floor in the changing room and showers were not that clean. A lot of hair on the floor. I think it needs updating. Mobile phones were allowed into the area which I personally do not like. Someone was taking photos and was told by a staff member to stop. Mobile phones should not be allowed into this area.
