Check in staff very friendly and helpful.We stayed for 2 nights, but under separate bookings. This caused a bit of confusion as we didn't want to change rooms and check out then back in again. Thankfully, the staff sorted this out for us. No parking at this hotel, but only 5 mins walk to Cardiff central station so we parked there. Restaurant was fully booked, but we had a drink and the barman was very polite and cheerful. Only issue we had was my daughter stepping on some glass in our room. Thankfully only a small cut and a manger came to ours room with disinfectant and plasters. Have stayed here before and would again as it in a perfect location for what we wanted

Breakfast is awful, the eggs are severely overcooked and bitter. Potatoes really dry and taste of nothing. Orange slices were dry and tasteless. The doors are really loud from other rooms on floor 5. Room is very nice though, clean warm and the bathroom is set up well.

Great room for the 3 of us ladies; one double and a single bed both of which were clean and very comfortable. Only downside was that the air con could not be lowered and it switched off at midnight so the room was very hot in August so sleep wasn’t great. Bottled water in the room and tea and coffee options. Great breakfast options. Safe in the room which is always a bonus. Stayed here a few times it’s great value for money in a very good location in the city centre.

Recommend improving Housekeeping service. The room was a bit dusty and when the cleaner came to clean whilst i was there she hardly spent 5 minutes cleaning the room including the bathroom. The cups, spoons and glasses inside the room where dirty as well.

I booked this on behalf of three friends. Unfortunately they had an uncomfortable stay in the triple room - for different reasons which the Hotel manager has dealt with and issued a partial refund.

Hotel was acceptable and service was we needed. Breakfast was had some very good choices and value for money. The only small criticism the drinks choices in the bar. It would of been nice if they had more than one option for Zero sugar drinks

Great central location
City center location so very convenient. Neighborhood can be a bit loud (and drunken) but hotel itself is quiet even if some of the guests are not, ha.
