Middle-ish hotel. Fit for purpose ( over night stay, central, does deals) but probably in need of a refresh. Was advised next to Cardiff Central rail station - it isn't ! Not a problem for me but could be an issue if elderly &/or with heavy bags.Noisy due to traffic outside but this is a condition of a central lpocation... More

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights on business. A very good location and very close t the town centre. The rooms were warm, clean and the beds were extremely comfy. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. The only thing I would say is that the parking is £10.00 which is very steep. My room cost... More

Just stayed overnight at this hotel with work. Spent the day in a Conference Room which was suffering from a significant draught and consequently arrived in my room feeling pretty chilly. Unfortunately despite reporting the fact at lunchtime that the radiator in the room was not warm it remained cold 5 hours later and therefore so was the room. Following... More

We stayed here for two nights and had a fine time. Our room was large and very nice. The floor was a bit squeaky, but it's an old building. It was right across from the castle. We couldn't see the castle itself, but we could see the wall. I am glad there wasn't anything going on at the stadium, though,... More

We checked other reviews first and despite some negative ones took the risk and was glad we did. Plenty of room in car park, quick & efficient check in, pleasant room (you could see the Millenium Stadium). Yes the hotel is dated but it is iconic. Yes it can be noisy but you are right in the centre of Cardiff... More

Well worth staying at. Staff very helpful but rooms a bit tired. Secure car park and next door to Milenium Stadium! Much more character than more modern hotels nearby but eat out! More

Not the cheapest of hotels BUT the location is ideal and the car park is handy. It's a traditional hotel that's been maintained in a style that doesn't detract from the original. We had a well-kitted out room, with an ample bathroom and seats to relax on. Would recommend this hotel to anyone seeking traditional but stylish comfort in the... More
