Reasonable hotel in Cardiff

Stayed here for 3 nights on a recent visit to South Wales. In a good central location, but the comfort of the hotel was only average. Rooms were quite noisy and not the most comfortable beds in the world. Pool, gym and bar were excellent. Expensive parking!!

Fine, not great

It was fine. The room was comfortable enough and the bed was good. The check in was disappointing as the staff member got my name wrong, twice and didn’t offer breakfast or explain any amenities or the wifi or ask if I’d parked in the car park. It’s also not in the nicest part of town but it was quiet enough.

Reasonable hotel for the cost.

We were put in an accessible room which wasnt great (and didnt seem that accessible if you really needed it). But all the staff at reception and in the restaurant were really friendly and helpful. Sadly didnt get the chance to use the spa etc.
