Templeton Vacations from $983

Parking was a bit difficult.

This hotel was away from most things. You need to drive to go to a restaurant other than the one here. It's expensive too. We found a nice one reasonably priced down the street we drove to. Don't expect laundry facilities on site. One of the reasons if not the main one was to get my laundry done before I headed out. That statement is a lie. There is nothing here. I feel taken since I would have stayed somewhere else. They will take your laundry and for a fee send it out to be done. If I had that kind of money I would not be staying here. So it's OK. It's not a Hilton, maybe equal to an average hotel in the states. I wouldn't stay here again though. Seemed clean enough. Just being lied too in the advert seemed wrong to me and misleading. Lots of cars so I'd figure they don't care too much since they got your money. Wish I had a business like that. Except for I wouldn't lie. Cheers!

A decent sized room, in a very dated hotel in need of investment and renovation

Very good access point for most of the key things in Cardiff, on a sunny day there are some lovely walks nearby and walking in to the city centre took about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, while we didn’t expect a super modern or high spec apartment, we were surprised by how bare boned it was. You have everything you need but it really it is just somewhere to put your head down. The TV is unreasonably old, and just didn’t work. There is a dvd player, it wasn’t flagged to us that we’d need to take some and while you generally don’t go away to watch tv, the option of some morning tv with our coffees would have been nice. The shower had a severe and audible leak, whoever had cleaned the apartment must have been aware as the shower head was adjusted to lower the sound. This suggests to me little attention in the upkeep of the properties. There are also many mold spots in the bathroom which should be addressed. On arriving, the concierge in century wharf were lovely to deal with, so helpful, supporting our parking issue, but don’t go to them for any needs after this point and there was one employee in particular who was pretty rude. Ensure you book parking in plenty of time. We had phoned the day before about parking but I guess as it was an events weekend, the spaces were all sold out. To be fair, I didn’t inform urban spaces of issues until the day of check-out. we were only there a few days and didn’t want to interrupt our time away. There is a lot to be addressed.
