Have stayed here many times. Usually our stay is linked with concert tickets. My favourite hotel in Cardiff. A small step out of the center. Easy cheap taxi ride to The CIA (not called that anymore...what the heck!!). Walk-able if you wished. I DON'T wish. The rooms are large enough and very clean. The bar is open until you don't... More

I've stayed here many times on business and can rely on it for a good stay. Rooms are good size, clean and well equipped. Breakfast is efficient and tasty but I usually walk into Cardiff centre (10mins) for evening meals as the hotel meals are expensive for average food. The swimming pool is very nice and the gym is decent... More

Location is very good with minimal noise issues but car parking spaces can be limited and it does get full. Check in was good pointing out where breakfast is served and where the lifts were as we were on the 4th floor. The lifts view out to the road and the skyline so watch out if you do not like... More

My partner and I have stayed here a couple of times for short breaks as we like to make use of the pool facilities. Our most recent trip was for one night en route to Pembrokeshire. Friendly staff, good room, very convenient for both the City Centre and the Bay and excellent value for money. Would fully recommend.

A very comfy, well appointed hotel in the heart of Cardiff. Friendly and helpful staff made you feel a valued individual customer. Great swimming pool and good to have ample parking on site, unusual in the middle of town.

Great hotel and great value for money.Clean, good room, v good breakfast, friendly and helpful staff all for £50.00 (breakfast was £10.00 extra but even so for such a good hotel in the city centre it was a bargain. Pool looked nice but did not use it.
