Overall I would say it was a pretty good hotel. Not too far from the docks and was able to walk easily enough when going into town. The only thing I wasn't fond of was the breakfast, whilst it had a nice selection of items, I found the taste of the hot menu items a little off-putting.

Perfect for overnight business trip

Large room with two double beds which was spotlessly clean as was the bathroom. Beds very comfy - soft and firmer pillows. Big desk space - ideal if you wanted to work and, as well as the aircon the window could be opened. Good quality laundered towels, bathrobes available and free parking. 10-15 minutes walks to Cardiff Bay. Would recommend to all types of travellers. I didn’t eat here but the bar staff and reception staff friendly and efficient. Also ice machines for guests - added bonus.
