The room was large, with a comfortable bed. The staff friendly, particularly at breakfast. Plenty of choice for breakfast, both hot and cold. Was in Cardiff for a show at the arena, and this was a perfect location.
The location was brilliant and the lobby & bar was very nice. But unfortunately the rubbish outside the hotel wasn’t cleaned at all & the rooms were terrible, we had 2 rooms for 1 night for just under £700 this was expensive for the quantity of the rooms, we would never stay here again.
The hotel is spotlessly clean everywhere. The room was a bit dated, particularly the bathroom (chipped bath and faulty toilet flush). Very comfy beds. Perfectly positioned for Cardiff Central station and the Utility Arena.
Good size standard rooms and king size bed
Check in very easy
Love the champagne bar
Convenient location to train, restaurants and shopping
Would stay here again

Staff were friendly but the room was outdated with marks/stains on the walls and curtains. The bathroom was refurbished and was nice but the rest of the room needed to be refreshed including the bed/mattress. Location was excellent

Room was clean,bed was comfortable pillows not so much. Cleaning staff did not leave any tea bags in the room. Quality of the food for breakfast was good. Car parking was not so good,pillars made it difficult to manoeuvre. Staff were helpful.
