10/10 Exceptional

A return visit for us, in the city for a concert at the arena. The hotel is central for most of the venues we go to in Cardiff, in the heart of the city centre and a very short walk to the train and bus stations. The staff are friendly and informative, we will stay again!

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is in a great local for everything. The owners are so helpful and friendly. It was my daughter’s birthday and they left a bottle of fizz and 6 glasses in her room. We had a perfect stay. It could do with an update but for a few nights stay it’s just perfect. We will definitely be back

Pickleball visit

Hotel is a little tired but spotlessly clean and very good for the price. Good central location to get to anything in the city centre, secure parking 5 mins walk away. Excellent restaurant downstairs which the hotel will get you a discount voucher for. Best part of the experience were the two receptionists we met who were helpful friendly and smiley- an absolute asset to the business!
