Tired and very dated, never again
On checking in we were given a room on the 4th floor, we went to the room which can only be described as stuck in the 80’s the most awful room I’ve seen. On complaint we were given floor 6. Marginally better! Let’s just say never again!

Clean and comfortable, great location in the City Centre. Staff were all polite and helpful, only negative is that the hotel is a little dated in areas.

Very well treated on arrival - one of us was recovering from surgery and not feeling great - we were treated with kindness and given a better room. The downside was the restaurant - slow service for dinner early in the evening and very poor quality hot food on the buffet at breakfast. Having said that we'll probably stay there again as the hotel is handy for city centre venues and usually has parking available.

Pros - Very conveniently located for shopping and dining.
The hotel was clean, staff very helpful and polite.
Room comfortable, very comfortable bed, clean with view overlooking main road.
Breakfast was outstanding.
Cons - The area is a bit grotty as are the streets going into city centre.
Pay to park £15 per night. Why am I paying to park in the grounds of the hotel I’m staying at.
There is traffic noise, but we stayed on a Monday so it wasn’t too bad.
Very lumpy pillows,

Convenient hotel for a Cardiff City break
A good hotel which is close to the castle, the city centre and only a short walk through Bute Park to Glamorgan Cricket. Lots of pubs, bars and restaurants nearby.
