We had no complaints whatever. Our room was clean, warm and comfortable. The beds were really comfy with nice cotton bed linens. The bathroom was very clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them. Excellent value for money and we will certainly recommend.

Friendly staff at the check in. The main hotel building and reception looks presentable. The room was great value and exactly what I needed to have a night’s sleep after an event. The bed was comfortable, bedding clean. There were tea making facilities. The room was very basic and dated, with cold lighting - it was not very inviting. However focussing on the value, it was great for the price paid.

Really run down. Bright lights on outside with thin useless curtains. Stains on the wall. Shouldn’t have to pay for parking at an out of town hotel either. Staff were wonderful though.

We didn’t have breakfast so scored a half way mark as we were not able to skip it in this review. It’s an old Campanile hotel now run by a small group so I support them all the way. It’s handy as the brown road signs are still there directing from the motorway. Still looks outdated but it’s being upgraded. Lidl a short walk away for groceries. It’s on a steep hill so watch out if it’s wet or icy. Could do with two pillows but a bath towel came in handy. TV wasn’t much good with reception and selection of channels.

The rooms were well maintained and clean. Entire hotel needs a little TLC in terms of painting and decorating. The staff were very nice and the positioning of the hotel allows for easy access to the city centre by bus, 58 or 57 and tbere is a good pub nearby for food and drinks. Good value for money all round.

Although the room and en-suite looked a bit tired and could do with a refurbishment but it was kept clean and bright. The staff are very polite and friendly. There is a separate charge for parking in their car park.

Staff lovely - rooms ok in themselves but walls so thin you could hear everything and very basic - downstairs was lovely - rooms not. Staff lovely. Also security of the doors was a worry over night. Probably fine but could not relax to sleep. Also local youths not great, son got heckled in the local area outside the hotel.

A clean, decent, cheap option for a drop into Cardiff. Good public transport connection. One downside is parking is on a very steep land and has just turned into a pay to park/anpr job.
