Rip off

Personally the hotel was ok but justifying paying over £500 for a standard room that was not great? I don’t think so, understand rugby is on. But don’t rip people off to that level. Also then paying £24 for parking with no discount, understand again that it’s a different company but no discount for residents and paying that price to stay??

My wife and myself stayed here for two nights. Easy check-in. The swimming pool was clean and nice to have . The bar and restaurant was clean and the staff were very helpful. Especially Anthony and Sabina. Breakfast was nice and plenty of choice. Our room was on the 4th floor. Which was nice and clean. Would definitely recommend and stay again

First visit to Cardiff

A small walk from the city centre but ideal for parking and public transport not far away for those unable to walk far. Nice bar on site with good selection of drinks

Great location for Cardiff centre being a short walk away. Car park is very expensive. Drinks and food overpriced. Reception and bar staff very helpful. Gym and pool very good.

On chatting terms with the silverfish in the room!

The located is good. We have stayed in the hotel before but this time the rooms were clean on the surface but old, tired and grubby in the corners. The bathroom smelt damp and there were silverfish. There was old black gum on the carpets. Not great.

Entrance barrier to car park was broken. Bug found in bath. Heating wasn't working - replacement one offered would have done well to heat the inside of my car, let alone a hotel room. Booked an Executive Room for our Anniversary in which was no different to a normal room, maybe more floor space? No towels or robes for use of Spa. Faulty key to room. The staff however were extremely helpful but felt bad for them as we had so many issues!
