The rooms were well maintained and clean. Entire hotel needs a little TLC in terms of painting and decorating. The staff were very nice and the positioning of the hotel allows for easy access to the city centre by bus, 58 or 57 and tbere is a good pub nearby for food and drinks. Good value for money all round.

Although the room and en-suite looked a bit tired and could do with a refurbishment but it was kept clean and bright. The staff are very polite and friendly. There is a separate charge for parking in their car park.

Staff lovely - rooms ok in themselves but walls so thin you could hear everything and very basic - downstairs was lovely - rooms not. Staff lovely. Also security of the doors was a worry over night. Probably fine but could not relax to sleep. Also local youths not great, son got heckled in the local area outside the hotel.

A clean, decent, cheap option for a drop into Cardiff. Good public transport connection. One downside is parking is on a very steep land and has just turned into a pay to park/anpr job.

This was a great value place to stay with staff who could not be more friendly and helpful. It has easy connection for driving but the hotel is tired and is, as we were told, due for refurbishment after a recent take over All in all, fine for a quick stay but its refurbishment can't come soon enough.

If you go with reasonable expectations, you won’t be disappointed. From the price, it is clearly a budget option in this area and those coming expecting a 5 star experience/ a romantic stay should be realistic and reach further into their pockets. I got a little lost on the way here, but it is conveniently located close to shops (very near a Lidl and Waitrose). The reception staff were very friendly, giving a warm welcome and great service. My room was clean and tidy, had plenty of desk space and plugs and fit all my needs for a brief overnight stay before an interview in Cardiff. As a little tip, I’d suggest bringing a teaspoon with you (I travel with one anyway) , as there were only wooden stirrers provided. It was reminiscent of PGL accommodation (without the sharing), which I found quite nostalgic - no frills, but comfy, quiet and functional.I can’t comment on breakfast, as I didn’t eat here. Overall, good value for money
