"The spa area was one of the cleanest I’ve used in a hotel for a long time, which was a real highlight. Breakfast was tasty, and the staff were generally very friendly and welcoming. A couple of things did let the stay down, though. Our room wasn’t ready by the 3pm check-in time, and unfortunately the parking discount is no longer available. I also found one particular lady on the front desk to be quite sharp in her manner, which could have been handled a little more warmly. Overall, there were some lovely aspects to the stay, but a few areas that could be improved."

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here before and it is a hidden gem, tucked away in the centre of Cardiff city centre. Welcome by reception staff excellent and was given a really funky "rock music" styled room, but all are boutique and themed. Facilities in the rooms are great - Nespresso coffee, fridge and water. Bathroom has a big shower and all gels and shampoo good quality. Breakfast is varied and fresh, healthy or not. Not visited the fitness room. Walk out the door and you are in central Cardiff with access to restaurants and bars and only 10-15 mins walk to Rail station - will not stay anywhere else when I return."
