    comfy bed
    spacious layout
    needs updates

    The room was big, clean, and had a lovely comfy bed. The separate shower with the bath was awesome, and the hot water was just right. It felt spacious which was nice to have. The only downside was it could use some updates here and there, but still, I was really cozy while I stayed there.

    incredible prawn starter

    It was just an appropriate option for a relaxing holiday in Cardiff with reasonable price. We had a great prawn starter, it was incredible! If traveling with children, check room setup in advance to avoid tight sleeping arrangements.

    The carpeting in common areas definitely needs a good deep clean!!! The bathroom tiles in rooms require immediate attention for safety!!! Staff could benefit from more training to handle the high volume of guests efficiently!!!

    spacious rooms
    comfy beds

    The large comfy beds and spacious rooms were highlights, but we faced recurring issues with the air conditioning. The ambiance felt welcoming and calm, making it great for families not wanting to party all night.

    Felt welcomed into the family, nothing too much trouble.

Breakfast offered a variety of options, including a selection of pastries and fresh fruits.

    friendly staff
    great pool

    I had a great time at the hotel, my kids loved the swimming pool, they spent hours in there, really! And the staff was super helpful, like that guy Anthony who saved me from a drink disaster when I spilled it all over myself, made me feel at ease right away.

    It wasn't inexpensive but still okay for the quality of the stay.

    Comfortable and Affordable Stay in the Heart of Cardiff!

    Enjoyed a quick weekend getaway! The family room was spacious, and the pool was a hit with the kids. Had a delicious breakfast—definitely try the local sausages! For a smoother stay, request a room away from the elevator if you're a light sleeper. Great value overall!

    central spot for exploring cardiff's parks and landmarks

    During my stay, I really appreciated how close this hotel was to Cardiff Castle and Bute Park, making my weekend strolls easy and enjoyable. I also found the staff pleasant and the room comfortable, perfect for a solo traveler like me. but the hotel could use some updates as rooms are starting to show signs of wear.

    clean swimming pool
    well-maintained common areas
    dated bathrooms
    disrupted atmosphere
    limited dining options

    The swimming pool and common areas were impressively clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment for relaxation. However, the bathrooms in the rooms could benefit from updates, as they felt dated compared to the modern rooms. The experience was marred slightly by workers being present during breakfast, which disrupted the atmosphere somewhat, and the dining options were limited to smaller meals.
