Glendale Hotel

Family-run boutique style hotel opposite Penarth train station, close to the shops and high street ... a quirky interior decorated with lots of interesting paraphernalia (perfect for gazing at whilst sitting on the comfy sofas or waiting for your delicious home cooked breakfast or dinner ... The owner, Tony is an old school hands-on hotel manager having run the hotel and restaurant successfully for over 30 years ... he has a dry sense of humour which made us giggle and he is a real gentleman who takes the time to chat ... perfect bolthole for our weekend visit to Penarth for a friend's wedding ... my room (22) although small and a 3 floor climb up stairs was clean, tidy and nicely decorated ... it did the job perfectly as I wasn't there to sit in my room all day ... an unreasonable reviewer here had called their room a 'nasty little cell' ... I say a bedroom is a bedroom ... get out and enjoy Penarth ;)

Stayed for one night to visit family locally. Friendly on arrival, accommodating staff, and Tony was great. Lovely meal, the special of port belly was cooked to perfection, my husband had the crab linguine, which was equally delicious. You must have the garlic pizza bread, tasted wood fired, amazing. spacious, old world charming, very clean room. The breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. Would definitely stay again.

The bed was really comfy. The room, including the carpet, was very clean. The decor is a bit tired in places (faded curtains and tatty bathroom). The TV is tiny. There was no floor towel in the bathroom so ask for one when you check in.

Room was tiny and the single bed was more like a child's bed. Room and hotel was dirty. Had originally booked for 2 nights but left after the first and found somewhere else to stay.

What a lovely little hotel. We arrived quite late on a Saturday and we're welcomed by the friendly owner. Our room was clean and comfortable with a cute, old fashioned door key. We had a drink in the bar but didn't eat in the restaurant, although it did look lovely.

This is our fourth visit to this hotel and we love it. This hotel is great, it is clean and the staff are friendly. There is some noise from the bar and restaurant below but this stops at closing time. It is close to the town centre and easy hassle free parking.

Very convenient to station and town centre. Not being informed that single room allocated was on 4th floor with no lift and bathroom facilities were two large steps up. Fortunately, at nearly 95, I am mobile and hope to manage this but it is a considerable hazard. Disappointed with £10 breakfast, nothing special.

Great to be able to have a reasonably priced single room on a busy weekend for the hotel.

Very dated furnishings though clean enough. No bedside reading lamp. Breakfast not available until 8 o'clock,
