Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Substandard cleanliness is an understatement
Room was filthy, stains over chairs, thick clumps of dust to side of radiator clearly not been cleaned in years,
Top of window frames filthy dirty with thick dust and Room window frame broken and window rattled all night.
Bath had hairs on it and not been cleaned also and floor tiles cracked
Wallpaper peeling everywhere in room.
Breakfast was just as bad lady who did the meet and great was extremely rude with hardly any hot food it was not replenished for over 45mins. Waited over 25min for pot of tea if serving teas is an issue perhaps invest in a self serve machine.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good for location. Bed and rok. Comfortable and nice and warm. Breakfast was almost non existent. Nothing was replenished and when it was, there wasnt enough to go around so ended up with just 2 pieces of toast
Was a lovely experience as my Mum many years ago worked as a hairdresser in the Hotel and she did Elizabeth Taylors hair so was a nice treat to come stay here to walk through an iconic building

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Spacious and comfortable room
Room was very spacious and bed comfortable, appreciate it’s an old building but double glazing on the main road side would make the room quieter, decor of the building in general needs cleaning/updating
The hotel was ideal for a stay in the city with being central. Very clean, huge room but lacked character and a little tired, could see it was a beautiful hotel in it's day. Saying that would stay again as it was good for what we required and reasonably priced.
Very friendly welcome, the reception team were great and a shout out to Joey who went over and above to make my stay pleasurable. I was visiting family so didn’t use the food and beverage options. I will definitely stay here again.
Was great value for money, we took our dog and were in a room at the end of the corridor, great for other guests to avoid any problems. Breakfast provided a perfect start to our days. Will be back!!

Nice place in great location
Great location, big rooms, clean and decent spec. Old building, not great sound proofing so would not want a party there. Good value for money.
Beautiful, spacious room with comfy beddings and good room amenities. It was not thoroughly cleaned unfortunately - found a french fry and potato crumbs by the armchair - yikes.
Love the location - the Cardiff Castle is just across the road and can be seen from my room windows. For that, I rate my stay excellent!
