Good for Business Trips
Stay here frequently for business. Staff is always helpful and rooms clean. Only downside is the occasional fire alarms going off from the showers in the room. Overall, good place and well located near the city centre/Cardiff Central Station.

6/10 Good

First impressions were not great. There was sone unidentified dried goop in our room door card reader and we were met with the smell of sulphur / eggs when we walked in which did not make me feel at ease. The room was very institutional looking and whilst mostly clean there was an ominous looking dark brown stain under the sink which made me feel squeamish. The shower and sink are in the bedroom which made the room feel like a prison cell. I thought the bed was very comfortable but there are no plugs bu the bed. The only power point was across the room under the telly. The horel was very cheap and convenient and you could park for 24 hours for £11. Its also 10 mins walk from st davids cemtre and the utilita arena. I probably wouldn't stay again because of the smell and institutional feel. Id rather spend more money and feel relaxed but if you are looking for a cheap convenient base its ok.

Very good
I’ve stayed in a few inexpensive hotels over the years. This ranks among the best. Start with the negative. Room not quite ready on arrival but they did allow me to leave my case. One towel was slightly damp but this wasn’t an issue. I’ve never been expected to pay extra for my tea, coffee and kettle. Positive’s. The reception were very friendly and helpful but also managed to be professional. The room was prepared very well. The housekeeping staff were obviously working to a high standard the ones I met were very pleasant. The bed was comfortable and the shower, although basic, was easy to use and effective. Apart from the lack of tea making equipment everything that you expect was there. The lighting was very well done which may seem s small point but made the room feel more pleasant, as did the efficient heating. One more point. The hotel is quite well located and seemed quiet on my visit. I’ve never stayed in any of this chains hotels. They are high on my list now though. Recommend.

The was not air conditioning and the coolant was not working effectively with the window opening restricted. The drains smell badly and too basic. Could do with giving customers complimentary bottle of water as the least. I wouldn’t recommend

Staff overworked and very busy. Very basic limited breakfast. Strange smell in corridors and could do with a clean. No kettle in room and had to pay deposit plus for tea/sugar/coffee. On returning home they d charged me twice for deposit. Had to pay £10 parking on top

We stayed looking out of the back of the hotel where they were rubbish bins overflowing the car park is very small so we're go and parking the different Hotel just down the road that the staff told us about but it was great to be able to walk to the city center 10 minute walk if that in the evening we walked five minutes to the next Hotel where we could use their restaurant for evening meal if you don't want to go into town
