I stay at the Glendale regularly to visit my daughter and granddaughter who live nearby. It is a lovely hotel above an Italian restaurant with very convenient access to Penarth train station with regular trains into nearby Cardiff. It has both single and double size rooms and I usually choose a single. The rooms are well appointed with rather basic shower facilities, tea & coffee etc. a very nice full cooked English breakfast is available (extra) and of course there is the very convenient excellent restaurant downstairs. The owner/manager is very friendly and chatty.

Cute and comfortable

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.

Good for a budget hotel.

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.

Noisy room

Single room 11 was very noisy. The water pipes for the main tank run through the room, and as the hotel was busy, the water was constantly running. This had not stopped at 23.40; and started again at 6am. Not much sleep! I complained, but no action taken.

Bit quirky which was charming. Had 2nd floor room at front. No lift but our luggage was taken upstairs for us so not a problem. This family run business has an excellent Italian restaurant which is on ground floor.

Ok for one night

It was for one night so it was fine. Thought the bedroom looked very tired & stains on ceiling & bedside lamps. The bed was too dofy & very rickety.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
