A perfect location for visiting city centre shops, restaurants, Millennium Stadium and museum - all a short walk away. The train station is 10 minutes walk, and the number 6 bus to Cardiff Bay stops just 100m away from the hotel entrance. The room was small, but the bed was comfortable and the shower effective. We only paid £55, which... More

The central location of this hotel is a big factor, but it was in need of refurbishment. On arrival (evening) the route from the car park at the (back of the hotel ) to reception was unclear and not pleasant. Reception was fine, although in general there was an absence of staff. The room was clean but the sink in... More

Clean, large rooms in an excellent location. The worst thing that happened during my stay was the fire alarm going off in the middle of the night and having to stand in front of the hotel in the wee hours. Very tired the following day but this kind of incident cannot be helped (in most instances). More

Easy to find, plenty of parking, well located, extremely helpful staff, windows that open, temperature generally temperate. All this together with a clean bright bedroom, good breakfast and efficient service. I would certainly use this hotel again. And no trouble at all to provide my colleague with waffles and icecream at 9.00pm to supplement our meal out. Ace More

I stayed a whole week in this hotel for business and leisure. The hotel and the rooms are clean. Breakfast is good. But of course the best thing about this hotel is the location - in the centre of Cardiff. Cardiff Castle and the Millenium Stadium are in walking distance. Maybe not the best hotel for business trips, but for... More

This hotel is well situated within Cardiff for local transport links and several restaurants and bars. The rooms are comfortable (though perhaps not the largest ever). There was a large selection for breakfast. More

My Fiancée' and stayed here for a weekend back in April and I have to say the standard was very good. Service was good, bed was comfy, view from the room over-looking the Millennium Stadium was cool also. The one downside was that the Bathroom badly needed a makeover. Wasn't quite consistent with the rest of the hotel. The location... More

We had a lovely shopping trip/weekend in Cardiff and chose this holiday as our base. It was perfect in terms of location as it was right in the centre of things and walking distance from the shops and castle (we could see the rugby stadium from our room should you be needing somewhere close to there!). If you wanted to... More
