To park, it is best to find somewhere on the road as the parking is just in front of the hotel, limited and up a hill. Plenty of places on the adjacent roads. The initial interior of the hotel is nice, welcoming, clean and smells good. We were told on arrival that payment hasn't been taken as their system hasn't been communicating with NatWest. A call prior to staying to inform us would have helped as I hadn't budgeted to pay for the stay as thought I already had. We were given our key to a twin room. Corridors still smelling nice. We arrive into a twin room which stinks of smoke. The room is bare, no pictures, no toiletries. Just two beds, wardrobe, towels and a kettle with some refreshments. We had to go to the local shop to buy shower gel and a candle as the room honestly stank. The mattresses were awful and when you sat on them, they pretty much touched the bed base. The curtains are thin and let light in which is fine when you want to get up and just leave. When I got home, the top I had worn to bed still smelt of smoke. For me, when rooms have been non smoking for years, I could not understand how this room smelt so bad. So avoid room 36 if you're not a smoker... At one point I debated pulling the mattresses into the corridor which smelt much fresher! My son and I were on a budget so this was our budget friendly option but I would not stay here again, even for £53. The staff who welcomed us were lovely and I would say was the only plus side to this stay.

Very friendly and clean hotel with free parking

Very nice thorough welcome from Sara who explained everything I needed to know. Not sure if the soundproofing mentioned in the advertising applied to my double room but the “deep bath” certainly didn’t and I had a shower with a de-laminating base…suggest of these ate important to you then check with the hotel before booking (I a book very late in the day.) Very friendly staff, I like the 24/7 front desk availability and unfortunately couldn’t stay on for breakfast. Will stay again, as I hear food etc is very good.

Great place to stay for a few days. I was looking for somewhere just outside of Cardiff for a few days for a break on my way down to London, turned out to be a very convenient stay and great value too. My room was nicely heated, comfortable bed, good water pressure and clean. The Hotel has a nice bar downstairs for a Friday night drink (very quiet too). Staff were quite friendly and there were a few good options for local cafes and restaurants. It's a good choice and good value. I only stayed two nights. Took a nice drive down to Penarth on morning for breakfast and a walk (10 min drive). Likewise it's not a long drive to Cardiff CBD. Good stay.

Attended a function at the hotel and having gone to bed before it finished we were surprised to find it was quite quiet in our room. Car park is limited and spaces are tight so can be problematic if the hotel is busy
