Great location, right in the city centre - perfect if you’re staying for a night out! Parking isn’t far away and the hotel gave a discount code for the car park we used. We booked a superior room which was great. big room, comfortable bed, very clean, complimentary bottle of wine & tea/coffee. Staff were friendly and very helpful too

Very out dated hotel. However this located in the main night life area. So I understand the reason for not investing much into the hotel. Great for a messy one nighter. Staff were brilliant. I never had the breakfast so cant comment.

The hotel was an affordable and comfortable alternative to the international chains. Located 5 minutes from Cardiff Central train station and five minutes from the Cardiff Castle. Tons of bars and restaurants in easy walking distance. And the full English breakfast was solid as well.

A comfortable hotel in an amazing location, close to dozens of pubs and restaurants and a large downtown shopping mall. Just two blocks from the train station and a 15-minute walk to the castle. Lots of local buses. Only complaint was unreliable hot water, for which we deducted one star.

The floor of the room was sticky (also was in the room of a friend) which we assumed was due to the cleaning method or detergent. The mattress was passed its best. There were just two hangers in a double room. In general the hotel facilities seemed tired.
