Shame about the noise

Lovely new hotel in centre of Cardiff. Maybe my timing was bad as a trip of school kids , about 50 were staying at the hotel the same time. But to put me on the same floor as the 50 kids could have been avoided as the hotel wasn’t that full . It’s was a nightmare with kids playing in the corridor. Eventually I went to reception and they gave me a room on another floor.

Absolutely fine

We had a great stay on a high floor. Beware at weekends that the hotel is right at the bottom of the party street and en route to the station. The room was comfortable however the bed was a standard double and felt small, and the water pressure was really disappointing. Staff were lovely, would stay again.
