The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. But the room was humid even with the large fan running. It's also not really a quiet place, but it is literally across the street from the castle and the stadium, and Bute Park is wonderful and nearby. However, there are NO laundromats close by, unless you consider a mile walk in 0 degrees and a north wind "close." There is a lift, but it is inoperable. It has been inoperable for quite some time. There was also some question of when the room would be cleaned. I never figured out the schedule, although the workers are lovely and friendly.

I did not have breakfast. Just room only stay. Shame the lift was out of order. Room was clean, noisy under foot- laminate floor was echoed as you walk on it. Lead to complaint made by room below. Hotel was clean and staff were lovely. Just a shake about lift and being complained about!

Superb location, very close to shops and dinning options, right in the door of Cardiff Castle and very close to the Cardiff National museum. The room was clean, nice and the staff did the bed and changed my towels all days. Didn’t have breakfast, so can’t say anything about that. The lift was broken so this was an issue in terms of accessibility. Would return again.

Our third stay here. Breakfast was disappointing this time - overcooked food, making it dry and not very nice. Staff were friendly and welcoming but often slow service in the bar area. Comfortable and clean but could do with a refresh.
