"Was ok"

"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. "

"Cooked Breakfast was excellent. Building could do with painting inside and outside."

"I’m not an expert on what qualifies as a 4-star hotel, but naturally I can only compare this stay to other 4-star hotels I’ve experienced. Based on that, this felt closer to a 3-star. I booked an executive twin room for three people, and the space felt quite small. The bed, which I expected to feel more like a larger double, seemed smaller than anticipated. In comparison to another 4-star hotel I’ve stayed at, where I only booked a standard double, the room there felt really big. That was disappointing. The coffee selection was also limited. I would have expected more variety, such as both regular and decaf options. The coffee was too strong for my taste, although I appreciate that’s a personal preference. The biggest disappointment, however, was the shower. I would expect a powerful shower in a 4-star hotel, but this one felt weaker than a standard shower at home. Even many 3-star hotels offer a proper power shower, which made this even more disappointing. While there was a bath available, I personally prefer using a shower, so this was a significant downside for me. On a positive note, I appreciated the availability of two medium-sized water bottles and that it was easy to access ice. I understand I could have raised the shower issue during my stay, but I find it uncomfortable to complain at the time. Overall, while there were some positives, the experience didn’t quite meet my expectations for a 4-star hotel."
