The hotel is conveniently located near Cardiff Bay with easy access to restaurants and bars. The rooms are comfortable, but slightly dated. The service was helpful and accommodating, especially for guests with special needs. The dining experience offered a good variety of options, though some plates were served cold. Overall, a decent choice for a stay in Cardiff.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, especially room 510 with 2 extremely comfortable double beds and good working aircon, were spacious and comfortable enough. Free parking was a plus, but the constant light from the roundabout/main junction made it difficult to sleep at night.
The hotel offers comfortable and spacious rooms with a decent work area but suffers from traffic noise. The service is welcoming and helpful, although a bit perfunctory at times. The location is convenient for enjoying Cardiff and walking to the Bay Area. The dining experience is mixed, with some great options but also disappointing quality for the price.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms are more spacious than other hotels in the City Centre, and the free parking is a great bonus.

The hotel was lovely, with good-size rooms that offered a nice surprise of dressing gowns and welcome chocolates, and it was great to have an ice bucket. However, the stay was on the expensive side.

However, the dining was a disappointment with some issues in serving breakfast. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
The hotel rooms were clean and spacious enough for us as a couple with two children and the location was perfect, very central and easy to get to everywhere we wanted to go. The rooms are a little dated but cozy with lots of extras like bathrobes, slippers, and good tea making facilities; however, it took a while for the aircon to warm it up.
