Ideal location

Surprised to see both sofa bed and pull out bed made up when only 3 of us booked in - but minor point. Easy parking. Quick check in. Security appreciated. Ideal location

I won't be using this hotel again

The decor in the hall was very grey poorly painted and made me feel like i was in a episode of prisoner cell block H. Room was clean but needs a fresh lick of paint. The bed was in wheels and uncomfortable. Perfect place if you're going out on the town as I discovered most people staying here were as early hours in the morning i could hear various guests returning from their night on the town a little loud or where the walls too thin.

Lovely city centre hotel

We were allocated a room on the third floor facing the road. We asked for a quiet room and were immediately given a room facing the principality stadium. We had a good night sleep. We visit this hotel regularly, our daughter lives nearby. Never had a bad experience. All the staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and professional. There is a large car park so really convenient for Cardiff city centre.
