Staff at reception were very helpful when the on line check in facility failed to work. The room was comfortable and quiet but some of the public areas seemed to be understaffed and a bit unkempt…but it was a very wet and busy weekend in Cardiff

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel, clean and well presented. Within walking distance from town. Would recommend to friends and family.
Teri-Ann, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, the hotel was good. I barely had any engagement with staff (which was unusual) as I checked in online prior. The hotel room was spacious, clean and had all the amenities I needed. However, the hairdryer only blew cold air and there was a lot of noise from people showering above and/or in adjacent rooms. Check out process wasn’t clear. An email prior said I could check out online but no additional information was provided. These are all minor things - I would stay here again.
