This was our third stay in Parador 44 as we really enjoy the room style, lounge bar and the best bit has always been the beautiful breakfast served downstairs in Asador. It was my partners birthday which I noted on the booking, there was no acknowledgment of this which would’ve been nice but not a huge issue. The rooms and lounge were lovely as usual, however it was a shame to find out the ‘full breakfast’ included in the room rate is no longer inclusive of a choice from the hot menu as previous, these items are now at a charge which was disappointing as it’s always been a big ‘plus’ to us booking here. The continental breakfast choice is tasty but limited and the experience didn’t feel as ‘full’ or special as it previously has. Perhaps noting a continental breakfast is included in the room rate would be helpful going forward in terms of transparency. Would return, but perhaps not for the price of the room without a hot breakfast option included

We had a lovely stay at Parador 44. This boutique hotel is conveniently located. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nicely arranged and the super size shower was wonderful. We also really appreciated the "honor bar" and the yummy continental breakfast. We would definitely stay here again!

Second visit and again did not disappoint!

This was our second stay here and we stayed in room Flor, we loved our last room but this room was absolutely stunning. Well equipped with little details such as a robe, slippers, cotton pads, ear buds, toiletries, lovely smelling diffusers in the room and a radio. The walk in shower is lovely too! Breakfast was amazing again, we had the cooked breakfast and flamenco eggs, both delicious. I loved that along with the coffee they had cold and hot milk to use, a nice little touch. This will forever be our place to stay when we visit Cardiff! There’s a handing car park right accross the street, and location is perfect as it’s right in the centre and only a few minutes walk to the castle. Thank you again for a lovely stay!

It was ok.

Bed was hard as was the pillows. The noise from the extractor fan outside was very loud and the room was very hot as couldnt sleep with window open due to noise. Shower was style over substance. Water pressure not brilliant and temperature was hot then cold then hot then cold, not constant. Breakfast was lovely and the resident lounge was lovely. The bathroom smellies were great and plentiful and of good quality. Staff were superb.
