The hotel is beautiful, a bit dated but charming.
The Reception staff were friendly, professional and helpful.
The location of the hotel is ideal for experiencing and exploring Cardiff, as it’s so central.
Obviously a lot of money had been spent on refurbishing this hotel, and it showed. Our room was modern, and clean and comfortable. We didn't have much contact with the staff, but they were friendly and helpful. It would have been helpful if we'd known about the disabled entrance before we arrived. We would stay there again.

Outstanding service from all of the staff. A lovely, compact and extremely clean hotel. A fantastic breakfast and the central location was perfect.
Great central location. Excellent spot if you are into night life. A little noisy for older folks like us. Older hotel but with modern updates. Safe location and very close to trains. It is a bit of a longer walk but Cardiff Bay can be walked to from the hotel. Staff was professional. Room was clean but the floor was sticky at the window end of the room. Didn’t have breakfast. Took the train so didn’t park.
It was a good location and about 5 min walk from the train station. The room was clean and made daily even when we left quite late. The staff was friendly and good breakfast.
The hotel was an affordable and comfortable alternative to the international chains. Located 5 minutes from Cardiff Central train station and five minutes from the Cardiff Castle. Tons of bars and restaurants in easy walking distance. And the full English breakfast was solid as well.
