Top quality in a top location

Receptionist was very friendly on check in. Room was clean and spacious with a lovely view. Bed was comfy, shower was hot though being tall the rainfall shower head was a bit low. Slept very well despite a party going on downstairs. Breakfast was good quality, with plenty of choice, though they did run out of some of the hot food and there was a bit of a wait to refill. Pool area was nice, plenty of room and multiple wellness facilities (sauna, jacuzzi, hydrotherapy), though could do with more chairs/places to leave towels and robes.

A Luxurious Escape at voco St. David’s, Cardiff My stay at voco St. David’s, Cardiff was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning waterfront views of Cardiff Bay and the sleek, modern design of the hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a seamless check-in experience that set the tone for a truly luxurious getaway. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and designed with comfort in mind. My room featured floor-to-ceiling windows that offered breathtaking views of the bay, along with a plush bed that made for the perfect night’s sleep. The attention to detail, from the high-end toiletries to the complimentary treats, was impressive. One of the highlights of my stay was the award-winning spa. The tranquil atmosphere, top-tier treatments, and the stunning relaxation pool made it the ideal place to unwind. Whether it was the soothing massage or the thermal suite experience, every moment was pure indulgence. The location of voco St. David’s is perfect for both relaxation and exploration. A short walk along the waterfront brings you to the lively bars, restaurants, and cultural attractions of Cardiff Bay, while the city center is just a quick drive away. Overall, voco St. David’s is a true gem—a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. Whether you're visiting Cardiff for a romantic getaway, a business trip, or a relaxing retreat, this hotel is an absolute must-stay.

Weekend break , group of 8 friends. Hotel very good. Nice room, spacious and view. Reception staff very welcoming and helpful. Disappointed that we were not able to use the restaurant and bar due to private function. We were told we could buy drinks from another bar where there was another function but had to sit in the open foyer. Only a few seats next to the entrance. Embarrassing infront of our invited guests to Wales. Also, car parking price extortionate. There is a nice spa.
