My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room we stayed in could have been much better if they fixed the toilet and the noisy air conditioning. However, the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, despite a minor issue with the check-in process. The location was great for exploring the city center, but it could get quite busy with children during peak times. The dining experience was hit or miss, with some dishes not matching their price. Overall, there were aspects that needed improvement, but the staff and location made up for some of the shortcomings.

The hotel rooms had such a lovely spacious luxurious feel to them and were still very warm despite leaving the air conditioner on the whole day. The service was great and helpful, although some training is needed on every level. The location is close to the city center in a relatively quiet area, offering a lovely bar and breakfast experience. The dining options were excellent, but some pricing issues were noted. Overall, a fantastic stay with some minor room for improvement.

The hotel offers clean and very comfortable rooms, making it a recommended choice for travelers. However, there is an issue with an overpowering smell of urine, which can be off-putting. The service was friendly but not very welcoming, with some room for improvement. The location is convenient, being a short walk from the City Centre and Cardiff Bay, despite needing a little more cleanliness. Facilities are decent but lackluster.

The hotel rooms were of average size, with minimalistic decor, and were clean, comfortable, and functional. However, the initial appearance with what looked like blood was concerning, and the damp feeling on the beds was not pleasant. The bathroom had a lingering smell of cigarette smoke, leading to a rough night and an overall unhappy experience. I couldn't wait to leave.

The hotel is close to the city centre, with a comfy bed in a large room, but the restaurant could be improved. The service was friendly and efficient, and the presence of security guards added peace of mind. The location is convenient and quiet, allowing for a relaxing stay.

The hotel is a nice and quiet place just outside the lively center of Cardiff, offering a range of beers and food. The rooms were decent but overpriced, lacking some amenities like a mini fridge. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were some issues with the value for money. The location is very central, within walking distance to key attractions but still peaceful. The dining experience was good overall, with some unique offerings. However, the price could be a bit high for what was provided.
