Hotel is in a great location, so close to shops, restaurants and grocery. Also very close walking distance to the main train station and Cardiff castle. The room was so spacious and very quiet. The hotel lounge is a great place to wind down after a days outing.

Lovely air-conditioned room. Spacious so we didn't feel as though we were on top of one another. Great amount of storage space. Decent wi-fi. We had a complimentary breakfast on one day and it was really good. Plenty of hot and cold options served in a very well appointed and historic room. Great stay.
