Was a lovely lovely stay , staff were great the room was great. It would have been nice to be able to lower the temperature less than 14° without having to call reception but it was a great stay regardless

Parking at the NCP carpark that the Hotel recommend and offers a discount is not true. It is impossible to park at the carpark due to the stupid bus lanes

Lovely stay in Cardiff
Although check-in wasn't until 15.00, we arrived around 10.30 and were able to deposit our bag early, for a fee of £4, which went directly to a local children's charity, so no qualms at all. From the moment we arrived until our departure next morning, the service was excellent, friendly as well as efficient, and didn't seem at all forced. Our room had a quite large entrance area with wardrobe and tea/coffee making facilites, leading up to the sleeping area, which although not huge, was perfectly adequate. The room, including the bathroom was spotless, the room was a very comfortable temperature, and we were fortunate enough to be on the quieter side of the building, so had a very quiet night. Breakfast was perfectly adequate and the hotel is centrally located so ideal for our trips to the Christmas markets.

Good value
Ideal location in town centre, hotel was nice, friendly staff and room a good size. Beautiful dining room at breakfast although the supply of food was poor. Had to wait as hot buffet was empty and cold options were not replenished even though it was mid service. Good overall good value for money

What a gem
What a gem of a find. Initial thought was a lot of steps to get to reception, but once we reached reception we were really happy with what we found. Staff that greeted us were very friendly and helpful. Then found the lift which would have saved us the stairs. This made our stay a lot easier. Our room was a good size, and clean. Bed was comfortable. Nice size on the bathroom. We slept well. The room was very quiet. Breakfast was good. Plenty of choice and fresh items constantly being brought out. Hotel is close to train station and shopping area/ restaurants and pubs. Will definitely be using this hotel again

Overnight stay for cricket.
Excellent pre-arrival information made the trip so much easier. Excellent discount on local parking in a secure car park. The bedroom was larger than we anticipated and at a good price for a city centre hotel. The only gripe would be that the bathroom needed some TLC as it was shabby with missing grout in the floor tiles and earlier repairs to walls was evident.
