Excellent, central stay

We travelled as a family (2 parents, 2 teenagers) and were staying one night. The staff on the front desk were very welcoming and the family room was like a palace - with two separate rooms in it: one with a superking bed and the other also very spacious with twins. We were not expecting so much space so were pleasantly surprised! The best thing about this hotel is its fantastic, central location, right in front of the castle and a stone's throw away from the start of the high street. We planned ahead and booked parking in advance on Greyfriars Road which worked well for us, as we were travelling light. Sadly we didn't get to trial the bar or food as we headed out flr the evening (can recommend Pilgrim Pizza nearby!). We definitely plan to return when we are next in Cardiff.

Beautiful foyers into hotel and grand staircase. Does look shabby in places but is an old building. Friendly welcome- we checked in late in the evening due to delayed trains but we received a warm welcome. Room was very hot couldn't open windows but luckily had a fan (which helped to cool the room quickly and it can be put on a timer). The bathroom was also very hot especially after a shower. Clean spacious room with tea coffee facilities. The free toiletries smelt amazing and was easily enough for a night or two for a couple. Good central location to castle, stadium and city centre.

Maybe my fault because I didn’t look at the reviews - pictures look beautiful - but please don’t be fooled by them -the place looks really run down…… I couldn’t open the windows - the room was so hot …..- I needed fresh air - I get Claustrophobia in combined spaces - opening a window would relieve my symptoms etc …. I was told by the manager that they couldn’t help me but they could offer me a free breakfeast!! / lesson learned - do t focus on pictures !

Very cheap. Great service. Rundown.

The hotel is very old. Carpets are stained. The elevator is out of order. The walls haven't been painted in years. The room is barebones. But the service is very good. The employees are great. The location is great. The price is great

The hotel itself is excellent, and the staff are brilliant. I stayed in room 104. The traffic outside was quite noisy, but I can sleep through a hurricane. 😂 The room was excellent, plenty of storage space. Can't understand why the windows are not double glazed? It would subdue the noise. Would I stay here again. Definitely. ❤️

A lovely welcome from reception on arrival, the room was massive! Nice bathroom a bit dated but it was in keeping with the hotel, it was nice and clean the bath needed some tlc but it was fine. The bed was tonate for me it was a spring mattress and I felt I was sinking, and the room had no air con just a fan and was really warm

Overall this was a great location directly across the street from Cardiff Castle. It was frantic because of the annual half-marathon attended by 29000 people (which we were not aware of at the time of booking) and the lifts were broken, but the front desk staff were extremely helpful. The room was large and everything worked as it should, but the rooms are showing their age a bit. They needed more staff at dinner but food was quite good.

1st room : no curtain for the window in bath room Changed to another small room, the lights close to the door and toilet and floor lamp are out of order. The room is dusty and noisy at night. I can’t have a good sleep for conservative three nights. But the location is good.
