Hotel was fine but in need of a bit of TLC and unfortunately the breakfast wasn’t really up to standard as everything apart from the beans was overcooked.

An older hotel without bells and whistles but with plenty of style and character. Rooms were clean and comfy with basic necessities, staff were accessible and friendly, and the location was in convenient walking distance to many things downtown.

The breakfast is so over cooked, it’s borderline jerky. Stayed here before and it was fine, but the last time the cooked breakfast was awful and inedible

Tres déçus, hotel vieillissant!

Très déçus par l’hôtel Établissement vieillissant décrépi -mobilier et décoration chambre anciens, Les matelas des lits jumeaux étaient très mauvais, il y avait un gros creux en plein milieu. points positifs, sa situation face au Château, taille de la chambre et les petites attentions produits salle de bain- à signaler difficultés de stationnement, et pas de zone de déchargement bagages Petit déjeuner correct le tarif était raisonnable, mais grosse déception quand même

Comfortable stay.

A lovely building. The lobby was welcoming as was the staff at check in. The room was clean and tidy. A bit dated and quite small for a deluxe twin. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, continental was poor, lack of choice, the hot breakfast was ok but not very hot. All in all a comfortable stay.

The hotel was clean and convenient! It was very central to everything (huge plus!). However, it was SO hot. It is an older building so this is to be expected. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

The hotel is amazingly placed for what we needed (going to Cardiff Castle) and staff were really friendly and helpful. The room we had was large, but in desperate need of refurbishment and was pretty dirty in places, lots of cobwebs, really dirty skirting boards, stains on the walls, lamp shades and wall paper peeling, grouting in bathroom missing and loose tiles etc. there was also a petty old looking fuse box on the wall.

The hotel is best summed up by the main staircase. Beneath angels painted on the ceiling and the glamourous chandelier, is an ornate balcony and open riser staircase. This is ruined by the broken cherubs on the newel posts. The room itself was clean with no trace of dirt or mould. The bed sheets where clean, the carpets in good condition and clean, but the towels were thin and worn. For my taste, the bed was a little soft. The staff were polite and friendly. Only one of the two very small lifts was working, the second had clearly been out of service for some time. The slightly limited breakfast was quite edible, but the serving spoons were hot from sitting in the dishes (be warned) and not away from the heat lamps. We didn't have dinner, but there is a comfortable bar area. Alas, the words adequate and functional best describe this hotel.
