Disappointing inaccurate description

Hotel facilities were not as described. Web site said breakfast served daily but we arrived on a Tuesday to be told breakfast only available at weekends. Could not connect to wifi. No soap in toilet only shower gel in bathroom. Safety notice regarding hot water has taps wrongly labelled. If description had been accurate I would not have booked this hotel.

Pickleball visit

Hotel is a little tired but spotlessly clean and very good for the price. Good central location to get to anything in the city centre, secure parking 5 mins walk away. Excellent restaurant downstairs which the hotel will get you a discount voucher for. Best part of the experience were the two receptionists we met who were helpful friendly and smiley- an absolute asset to the business!

A very nice family run hotel in Cardiff. Staff were excellent, very accomodating. Good size room/bathroom offering bathtub/shower, complimentary coffee/tea/biscuits also provided. Beds very comfortable. Excellent location, right in the centre of Cardiff, 20 min walk to Cardiff Bay which is recommended, a lovely area. Would definately return if we find ourselves in Cardiff!!!

Not a great stay.

This hotel is badly in need of a refit. The room I had was not very clean and very old tired furniture. Bathroom light a horrible industrial stark light whilst the room lights were very dark. Very shabby and would look great after a refit
