Staff was very kind. The property is in a great location, and the rooms are nice enough. My only drawback comment would be if you get a room with the courtyard access it could be noisy just because people move in front of your unit not the quietest place.

Staff was all exceptionally helpful and friendly. Room was clean and very well done. The rooftop area is gorgeous. I loved the fresh juice and muffin delivered to my room every morning. I'd definitely stay there again.

Didn’t satisfy quite what we were looking for
My boyfriend and I came from LA looking for a quick beachfront getaway. Pros: - polite & well trained staffs - brand new fixtures and interior - free tea and coffee in the lobby - fresh green juice & muffins delivered in the morning - fluffy towels - walkable to the ocean Cons: - NOISE: there’s a bar called Shanty right below the property that plays upbeat outdoor music until 10pm. For us looking to relax and unwind early in the room, this was a huge miss. The noise travels up and radiates into the room. - not quite an ocean view if you get the first floor room. We paid extra for “an ocean view” but 75% of the view is a wall and roof of the bar property below. - low water pressure in the shower. It was like a drizzle. - no place to put any bath products on the shower wall. - no tub

My wife and I spent our first anniversary here and it was a delightful little hotel. The room was fantastic. The bathroom was beautiful, from the fixtures to the tile. The furniture was very tasteful and comfortable. The staff were so friendly, greeting us by name each time we entered the lobby or saw them on the property. They took very good care of us. Cardiff is a wonderful sleepy surf town, just what we wanted. We will be back for sure.
