    perfect base for exploring the castle and vibrant city life

    I stayed here for 2 nights and loved how I could easily walk to the castle and beautiful Bute Park, which made my weekend strolls extra enjoyable and convenient. the friendly staff even served us drinks at the bar late into the night after our event nearby.

    Great stay in Cardiff

    Had a fab night! The location's super central, perfect for shopping and trains. My room was clean, comfy bed, and loved the toiletries. The breakfast spread was awesome with loads of options and three toasters, such a simple but nice touch! The only thing was the dusty corners in the room could use some attention.

    great room but slightly limited dining options

    The room was a nice size and exceptionally clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful, allowing us to store our bags until check-in.

    Dining options were quite limited within the hotel.

    convenient location
    good value

    It was just a smart choice for a whistle-stop in Cardiff with very good value for money. The location is super convenient, and the double-glazing really keeps the noise out. For anyone traveling, be aware that the stairs to the reception can be a bit of a drag with luggage.
