From walking through the door, the young man on reception was polite, explained everything and with a smile. The room was clean, tidy and the bed was comfortable. At breakfast the experience continued to be brilliant, the lady explained the way Breakfast was a buffet and where things were. Wonderful view looking out over the wharf. Food was of a high Standard.

The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. It was right by the wharf, and had a beautiful view of the water. It’s close to the city centre, about a 10 minute walk, so that was convenient.

10/10

Booked an accessible room (I can stand and walk short distances). The room was “good enough” accessibility wise. No shower chair for the bathroom but at least the floor was cleaned daily… We accidentally triggered the emergency alarm and a staff member came to check we were okay, it was a false alarm but I was glad to know they do care. The breakfast on offer was okay, not much that was suitable for alternative diets (smoothies would’ve been nice), however that is pretty standard when I eat out anywhere. No where to easily refill a bottle with drinking water. The location is amazing, near Cardiff bay station, shops and restaurants at the bay and only 20 mins walk to Cardiff central. The staff were lovely, every interaction with them was kind and professional.
