Scruffy night porter, dirty carpets, tatty & seedy hotel with drunks outside. Would have left immediately if hadn't pre-paid more

Spent one night-first and last in my life-at this so called hotel at the beginning of Jan-2010. Location was perfect as my business was just yards away from it. As a facilities manager I was horrified by the standard of cleaning(or shall I say the dirtiness???) First of all the carpets-there was not an inch of the carpet inside the... more

Spent one night here in December and would never again, our room up 5 flights of stairs , a fire hazard waiting to happen. The room was clean but poor heating, soiled blankets and very noisy. Paid far to much, not value for money , recommend stay somewhere else if visiting Cardiff, even if is just around the corner from... more

Stayed here for 4 nights and was so glad I did. Yes, it's an old building and does show its age in places, but it's clean and comfortable with all you would expect of an inner city hotel. The room was pleasant although it had not been recently decorated, and the one problem was quickly and cheerfully dealt with. The... more

Stayed in this hotel on a business trip to Cardiff in Mid-October 2009. The hotel is very centrally located near bus and train stations just around the corner from shopping and restaurant areas. It's typical British with lots of stairs and corridors before getting to the room. Room itself was ok. Clean and definitely much bigger than in similar hotels... more

Right in the centre of Cardiff its great to just step out onto the street and go hereever you want! Staff were very friendly on reception, and directed us to our room, all carpets needed renewing on... more

We stayed here to watch U2 and had to book for 2 nights. On the plus side the staff were attentive, helpful, and the breakfast service was good. But the decor was so bad it looked grubby although the room had been well cleaned. The headboard was a pale green dralon type materail and was badly stained. The ceiling looked... more

We arrived on the day of the U2 concert after a long drive (and having paid £280 upfront) expecting a decent hotel per the website - how wrong we were!! On arrival we found the lobby to be very shabby with thread bear carpet and the smell of "shake and vac". We obtained our key and made our way (with... more

Just returned from a two night stay which cost us nearly three hundred pounds .We came up to see U2 concert .It is a perfect location for concerts /shopping as everything is on the door step .This does however mean night times are very noisey . I think the hotel is very overpriced only being a 2 star and def... more
