The room was spotless with new fixtures and fittings. Staff were friendly and accomodating. There is a bar and a breakfast room. The room was quiet and the double bed was roomy. We were on the 2nd floor so a little tricky getting up with suitcases etc.

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.

Not the most welcoming or friendliest of places.

I'm going to be honest, I've stayed in far more friendlier, welcoming places than the Glendale. The room was on the second floor up some steep stairs, so if you are struggling with fitness or a disability, this is not the place for you. The room was shabby and the bathroom was accessed by two steps. I declined breakfast because I felt at £15, it was rather expensive.

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.

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.
