Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was brilliant and the lobby & bar was very nice. But unfortunately the rubbish outside the hotel wasn’t cleaned at all & the rooms were terrible, we had 2 rooms for 1 night for just under £700 this was expensive for the quantity of the rooms, we would never stay here again.

The hotel is spotlessly clean everywhere. The room was a bit dated, particularly the bathroom (chipped bath and faulty toilet flush). Very comfy beds. Perfectly positioned for Cardiff Central station and the Utility Arena.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I booked for 2 twin beds when we arrived we had a double bed only. When we checked at reception it said we were not down for 2 singles. They managed to change our room but it didn’t seem to be as nice which was a huge shame. We asked about it in our original room, they said that the beds just pull apart, we were then told they couldn’t pull the beds apart as it was a double mattress. However it was all very clean and staff were friendly

Two little complaints: automatic door closer mechanism stopped wardrobe door opening fully and therefore access to drawers in our room. And the lead on the hair dryer was too short to allow us to look in a mirror during its use. But those are just little moans. We had a lovely time, all told. Staff were great and very helpful, breakfast was ample, bed was very comfortable, and the view from the 15th floor was great. Also excellent location for the railway station and for the town centre.
