Comfy beds and right by the main sites of Cardiff. We stayed for one night and it worked great for us
The room was clean and tidy. The staff were okay. The only gripe i had was the view from our room. We were in 107 and the view was far from spectacular. This must been due to the fact we booked through Expedia at a cheaper rate. Still that said we would go back. But only to a different room.
We were able to check in at 1pm instead of 3pm as our room was ready, this was amazing as we had more time to enjoy the city and relax.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Bar staff was rude no lift working if you font like cooked breakfast no choice of anything else
The staff here are fantastic! Although the rooms are clean, the hotel is in need of updating - and the owners really need to sort the lift situation (I think it's the 3rd visit I've had where it's been out of action). But the staff more than make up for issues in the building.
