A return visit for us, in the city for a concert at the arena. The hotel is central for most of the venues we go to in Cardiff, in the heart of the city centre and a very short walk to the train and bus stations. The staff are friendly and informative, we will stay again!
Top class customer service as always. Anne-Marie on reception was welcoming and attentive

Top class family run hotel with benefit of city centre location. Friendly helpful and welcoming staff. Lovely clean and well maintained room with excellent facilities. Always a pleasure to visit and I look forward to returning in a few weeks’ time.
I loved my stay here! It's a really cozy place and close to the castle, shopping, and lots of other stuff. The staff is fantastic and friendly, I was always excited to chat with them. It is a very charming place
