"Really lovely hotel and we had our dog with us and he loved it too. Very pet friendly, plenty of other dogs staying there. Room was spacious though there were no drawers or shelves to put your stuff in/on. Breakfast was a good mix of fruit and standard breakfast items. Staff were very friendly and helpful, check in was a breeze and Gus got a welcome pack. Can’t really think of anything negative to say about this hotel."

"We had a lovely couple of nights at the Bear Hotel. Room was well appointed and spotlessly clean. Only very slight negative on room, was that on our first night, we could only get luke-warm water from the shower. Ate in the restaurant and meal was good quality overall. Service in restaurant was a little slow and lacking some attention to detail but pleasant all the same. Will happily return to stay here again, and plan to do so."

As I was travelling wife work I use the evening to do my admin since I’m on my own. This was not possible though as it kept losing signal. Reception told me the hotel was full hence why it kept dropping out. But that should not be my issue it should be good enough for a full hotel. "

"Comfortable hotel located within walking distance of the Principality stadium. In light of this the cost of the room was off the scale, however, this is a practice used by all hotels in the area when an event is on. This is by far the most expensive standard hotel room i've booked. £350 for a Sunday with a view over the car park. Breakfast was good with a host to guide you.
