Decent room with a bath and a shower
Managed to check in at 1130 which freed up my day
The room did not seem particularly clean,the bathroom immaculate, bed super comfortable and the location was great! The receptionist was not particularly welcoming or helpful.
I booked for 2 twin beds when we arrived we had a double bed only. When we checked at reception it said we were not down for 2 singles. They managed to change our room but it didn’t seem to be as nice which was a huge shame. We asked about it in our original room, they said that the beds just pull apart, we were then told they couldn’t pull the beds apart as it was a double mattress.
However it was all very clean and staff were friendly
The room was not cleaned there was no overhead light in the room. We were given a room with a King size bed instead of two singles that I had booked and we had to change rooms. The bar staff were untrained

Disliked: Staff & service
Hotel staff walked into our room with a key on two occasions. Have contacted hotel to raise the issue and have not had a response since 21/12
Went to check in, our room had someone already checked in. The next room we were given only had single beds great stuff for a married couple 🤔 bathroom was mostly clean, a the breakfast in the morning was barely warm. Coffee was nice though

Long wait to check in. Room was soulless, with no pictures, no hairdryer and cold and uninviting
The room was large, with a comfortable bed. The staff friendly, particularly at breakfast. Plenty of choice for breakfast, both hot and cold. Was in Cardiff for a show at the arena, and this was a perfect location.
