Nice little hotel for a good value in the center of it all. I really enjoyed the space of the room, location, and quiet by guests. A few upgrades could be made to the bed and TV, but not a deal breaker. If you can, ask for a room on the other side of Mary st. Club music is noticeable unto 2 am.

We enjoyed our time in Cardiff Wales and staying in this hotel. The staff were very helpful. The room was large, clean and comfy. The area around the hotel was very safe. The shops and restaurants were very accessible. We loved our time in Cardiff, Wales. We would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends.

Our room was extremely small, no where to put luggage or unpack things. The floors in our room were dirty and sticky. We arrived at 2:30 and they wouldn’t let us check in.

Clean, tidy and staff were very polite and friendly. Unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable. Mattress very soft and every little movement caused the whole mattress/bed to move and disturb the other person.

I liked this place, it’s a convenient place, and the building is quite, staff are very nice, feel welcoming as well. Only thing is the wood floor inside does not feel really clean, I guess it’s the age. But the bedding had strong smell, smells like it did not dry up properly

Location amazing. Right in the centre of town. Lots of stairs, be prepaid if you are on the 6th 7th floor! Definitely in need of new beds. And you need to be 6/7ft to see out of the windows. If your below that, stand on the bed. Then you might see the sky. Disappointed!

The only fault I had was struggling to get up 47 steps on stairs to get to the second floor for reception . Not that long had a spine operation and found it a real struggle . I never seen any info on booking this hotel before hand otherwise I wouldn’t have booked this hotel . Other than that room was really clean and staff and location was great .
