Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. Initially, my room was noisy due to road traffic, but after a move, I got a larger, quieter room with a nice view. The first room was small and basic for the price, lacking hot water, while the second room had some maintenance issues like a peeling bath re-liner.
The hotel offers a large room with unexpected bathroom and AC for the price paid. Despite the room size being small for two people, it was comfortable and standard. The location is perfect for exploring Cardiff, with convenient parking at the rear and walking distance to major attractions. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of choices. However, the noise disturbance from outside affected the overall stay in the room.
The hotel offers a pleasant stay with comfortable beds and a convenient location near Cardiff Castle. While some rooms provide a nice view, others lack sufficient plug sockets. The surroundings are quiet even though some rooms face the road.
The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance of Cardiff Castle and the Principality Stadium, making it a convenient spot. The rooms were clean and efficient, though the poor quality windows allowed for a lot of noise from the busy road outside. The service was genuinely helpful and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. The dining experience was great value and the manager Loreta ensured a welcoming and efficient service.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and quiet with a nice view of the river. The service was amazing, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect, right in the city center, making it easy to get around. The dining experience was very good, although some items were not hot enough. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel offers a spacious family room, although the temperature control can be challenging as rooms vary in temperature. The staff was attentive to the issue. However, the excessive mirrors in the room were a bit much for my liking.
