Comfortable stay. Breakfast busy & staff struggling to keep up. Shout out to Scot & Lisa who were amazing, friendly & helpful. Poor choice for decaf coffee. Should have decaf coffee beans in machine as well as caffinated. Instant is awful.

I enjoyed my stay and found it in good location for walking to the Bay and dining areas. Catching a Bus from there to the shopping centre is easy. My only issue was that I didn’t get much sleep as there was a couple arguing near by and they kept me awake, I was also staying on my own so was frightened.

Great stay for city visit
We were stopping off in Cardiff for a visit and were looking for an overnight stay. This hotel was perfect, 15 min walk into the city centre and a 10 min walk to Cardiff bay. Staff were extremely helpful, room was comfy and we both slept well. Great breakfast in the morning which helped for our onward journey. Would definitely recommend.

Room wasn’t available until 3pm so delayed us going to our event. Purchased 2 gin and tonics and was shocked at the price. When I asked why so expensive the barman said they were doubles even though I didn’t ask for doubles. This is awful as a person may have been having one drink and possibly driving shortly afterwards not knowing if they didn’t question the price of the drink. H the barman told me he always serves doubles! I had to warn the man at the bar in case he got caught out also. Car parking was full after check in time so I’m glad I arrived early to nab a space despite having to wait an extra hour for the room. Hotel where fine with you parking before check in and using the bar area whilst you waited. There was no charge for the car park before check in time. At breakfast there was no coffee cups and by the time I gave up after a good 5 mins wait in a queue my cooked breakfast had gone cold so I had to get another one. Clean hotel. Staff seemed friendly but some of them stressed when it was busy in the morning.
