Well i was quite disappointed to be given a room that looks dirty, dust everywhere and hair on the floor as if the latter has not been hoovered.. Upon bringing the situation to the manager, he upgraded us to an executive room. I was again faced with a dusty room and now with a wobbly toilet seat which was later fixed but still felt same. I was very disappointed as i felt let down by the hotel knowing that we are paying quite a lot for the stay.. The really need 2 work harder on the cleanliness of the room. The staff was very warm and friendly.

Great stay at Clayton Hotel Cardiff

We had the best stay at the Clayton Hotel in Cardiff. From start to finish we felt extremely welcome and the staff were both friendly and approachable. The hotel was conveniently located for our gig at Cardiff castle. The rooms were spacious and clean.
