Amber, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff were fantastic and it's a great location if you're going to an event at Principality Stadium. The exterior clearly needs some cleanup, but my room was pretty nice.

Echelle, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Considering it's was next to multiple pubs it was very quiet. Central location. Short walk to principality Stadium.
Lewis, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Only 5 mins walk to Cardiff Castle. Ideally situated for shopping. Four flights of stairs up to reception lobby though so you need to be fit. Staff were polite and helpful. Glad of the aircon on a baking hot day.
Nicky, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Location good but parking not so good, unfortunately we chose the weekend of the Pride parade so lots of road closures
Geraldine, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The property location is great close to everything, a bit crowded on the outside, breakfast is nothing to write home about with the same menu every day, could be upgraded with more choices.
Sylvalinda, 3-night trip

Penny, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nicely refurbished older hotel with good climate control, large room, hypoallergenic bedding, wood flooring and a nice shower ( no shower mat so it was slippery). Breakfast was good. Room cleaned daily.

Thomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Friendly staff nice accommodation. Our room was above a couple of bars and was really noisy at night & also in the mornings with deliveries. So not a great sleep
sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Convenient for exploring Cardiff at reasonable costs of stay
YASUSHI, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was very friendly and the room was large with a very comfortable bed. The only thing to be aware of is the odd design of this older hotel that requires you to go down (depending on what side of the building you enter) to take the lifts to go up, otherwise you climb 50 steps with luggage in tow to get to the 2nd floor reception.
Calysta, 1-night trip
