Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Filthy dirty walls, carpets & doors all over really. Mould in bathroom, damaged sink, shower a trickle towel rail not working cold water was warm & hairdryer not worth having. Hallways & lobby stinks of drains. Plaster falling off walls in hotel. Staff didn’t even ask how our stay was I can only assume they have heard it all before. Did not stay for breakfast wouldn’t want the consequences of eating there. Absolutely terrible experience I suggest you take it off your books this was my first booking with Expedia & my last m.

Hotel was nice enough but tired looking - needs to be thoroughly cleaned and redecorated. Breakfast was nice but certain items weren't being replenished. I would stay again as long as the price was right.

A great welcome - staff are always welcoming, positive and professional. The room was comfortable but some fixtures could be updated in the hotel - including lifts (which weren't working on my visit) and panelling/floor tiles in bathroom. But centrally located and good value for money.

Well sited hotel in need of a lift

The hotel is well sited for a Cardiff visit being close to the castle and the rugby stadium. It has seen better days and the decor urgently needs some attention. The lift was not working (I think it been out of action for a little while) so it was a bit of a climb to my room on the second floor. The facilities in the room were good and there was very little noise from inside or outside the hotel. The price for the accommodation was very good and I would stay again but probably I will wait until the lift is fixed

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.
