    bathroom safety

    Unique hybrid architectural design, Health facilities open to guests, Proximity to Cardiff Bay

    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!!!

    great location
    comfortable room

    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.

    pool area
    great location
    understaffed restaurant

    We loved the location near the waterfront. it was fun exploring Europe’s largest waterside development! The pool area was also a fantastic place for the kids after a long day out. Breakfast was a highlight, with a range of delicious options to start our day.

    My kids wished for more evening dining options, as the restaurant was often understaffed and busy during family hours.

    Fantastic Family Holiday with Great Breakfast

    I had a fantastic family holiday at this hotel! We appreciated the attentive staff, especially with their personalized touches for our kids' enjoyment. The breakfast was delightful, offering freshly made pancakes and a variety of options that made our mornings special. The only downside was the shower water that fluctuated too much during our stay.

    Family with children fantastic experience

    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.

    scenic waterside
    problematic air conditioning

    Had a blast with friends! We strolled by the scenic waterside, perfect for relaxing, and enjoyed our stay. The staff was super helpful, and the breakfast had plenty of tasty options. The pool was a great spot to unwind after a long day of exploring.

    The air conditioning in our room didn't work properly, which made it a bit uncomfortable during our stay.
