First visit to Cardiff
A small walk from the city centre but ideal for parking and public transport not far away for those unable to walk far. Nice bar on site with good selection of drinks

Great location for Cardiff centre being a short walk away. Car park is very expensive. Drinks and food overpriced. Reception and bar staff very helpful. Gym and pool very good.

On chatting terms with the silverfish in the room!
The located is good. We have stayed in the hotel before but this time the rooms were clean on the surface but old, tired and grubby in the corners. The bathroom smelt damp and there were silverfish. There was old black gum on the carpets. Not great.

Entrance barrier to car park was broken. Bug found in bath. Heating wasn't working - replacement one offered would have done well to heat the inside of my car, let alone a hotel room. Booked an Executive Room for our Anniversary in which was no different to a normal room, maybe more floor space? No towels or robes for use of Spa. Faulty key to room. The staff however were extremely helpful but felt bad for them as we had so many issues!

Quiet but basic
Quite a basic option for accommodation. Unfortunately the sofa bed our daughter was sleeping in was stained and when we complained we were offered towels to cover it with which personally I didn’t feel was a satisfactory solution. The towels also had a really odd smell, as did the shower gel / hand wash provided so it was hard to feel ‘clean’ whilst there. The room was lovely and quiet though which was a bonus

Disappointing
Was very disappointed in this hotel. We arrived at 2:45 to be told check-in wasn’t until three which I thought okay that’s fine then the room was not ready until 345 so we had 45 minutes of sitting doing nothing. There was no apology for the room, not being ready or anything That was a bit of a funky smell in the restaurant when we first walked in smell a bit like damn when we got to the room the room was nice. We spent the first night there when we run the bath. The water was green and had bits of sand or something in there was also bugs in the bedroom. They moved us to a different room which when we tried running hot water it was just warm overall, the day wasn’t the best sadly for the price that we paid I was disappointed. We did try and use the spa as much as we could and I noticed there was a nappy on the floor from the Monday until the Tuesday evening so I’m a little bit concerned about the hygiene and cleanliness of this hotel
