It was convenient for a 1 night stay but I was unhappy with the fact that parking is advertised but when your info comes through there is only LIMITED parking available! When I requested to book in advance that was not possible! I feel the original information about the hotel should highlight the fact there are only limited spaces

A very convenient hotel for the City centre. Across the road from Bute Park where we attended an event, close to all the restaurants and also great facilities. The staff were very helpful. And parking at a cost on site is great. Thank you
