    explore parks and attractions with ease from this hotel

    I found the staff to be very happy to help and the coffee-making facilities in the room added a nice touch for my mornings, making it all the better to take a relaxing stroll to nearby spots like Bute Park, which is just about 2.5 km away, and the iconic Cardiff Bay that's only a short walk away as well. while I appreciated the cleanliness, it could be more convenient to have a bedside lamp for easier reading at night.

    The room was surprisingly clean and tidy. I found the shared bathroom to be quite a nuisance, especially with limited availability when needed.

    I spent 2 nights in a cozy Double or Twin Room, and I loved lounging by the pool and enjoying the relaxing spa. The bed was super comfy and provided great rest after a busy day. Although the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, overall it was a delightful experience! 🌟

    hot water access
    cozy lounge
    lack of hooks

    I really appreciated the hot water available for coffee by the entrance and the easy PIN access to my clean room. It was nice to relax in the cozy lounge and enjoy the outdoor terrace after a busy day. I wish there had been a few more hooks for clothes, but overall, it was a lovely experience! ☕

    The single room was pretty cozy. It had a good vibe and felt safe. I liked the tea and coffee facilities. The TV had great channels for chilling out. The bed was comfortable enough for a solid night's sleep. Only downside was the shared bathroom situation—it could get busy at times, but the bathrooms were clean. it served its purpose well.

    Great location near the stadium, perfect for event goers. The room felt cozy with a lovely big bay window. Clean facilities made it comfortable. Staff provided a warm welcome, really made me feel at home. Loved the easy access to the city center—great for exploring. I noticed a few maintenance issues. The shower controls were tricky to operate and there was no hot water in the sink, which was frustrating. the noise from neighboring rooms could be a bit disruptive at times.

    Convenient Stay with Helpful Amenities!

    I had a wonderful time exploring Cardiff! The accommodations were clean and comfortable, especially after a long day of sightseeing. I appreciated having a kettle and tea in the room—it’s such a nice touch. For future guests, grab extra milk from the kitchen!

    great location
    cold room

    Had an awesome time with my friends! The place was super clean and just a short walk to the stadium and city centre. We really enjoyed visiting the castle and exploring the town. Heads up , the parking can be tricky during events, so plan ahead!

    Unfortunately, I arrived to a cold room, and the radiator never warmed up. Luckily, they provided a portable heater, but it was a bit inconvenient.

    quiet atmosphere
    friendliness
    heating issue
    response delay
    basic amenities

    The location was ideal, just a short walk from the city center and the Principality Stadium. The room offered basic amenities and was generally quiet, providing a restful atmosphere. the heating was inadequate, leading to an uncomfortable night before the issue was resolved. while the staff were friendly, the delay in addressing the heating problem was disappointing, especially in cold weather. Breakfast featured delicious homemade sausages, which was a highlight during the stay.
