Security Looked after our Dog!!!!

Rooms were excellant, breakfast was really good but best of all the most dog friendly place I've everstayed!! This was an extremely busy Saturday night pub where I sat at the bar with my dog also sat on a stool. When door security come over and make a fuss of your dog and go and get some treats, it was just brilliant. A really lovely stay. I won't make the mistake of asking for a full English for breakfast in a Welsh pub again!!!

Pontcanna Inn is a funky place to stay, the room was clean, spacious and boutique style. The vibe of the bar area downstairs was fun and cool during the daytime, we arrived on a Saturday. We were visiting for a concert and it was a great location to the Principality Stadium. When we arrived back at the hotel after the concert, it was a very different vibe. It was extremely busy, full of the younger generation drinking, sticky floors, lots of empty glasses and felt uninviting to hotel guests. We wanted to have a drink before heading to our room, but couldn’t get served at the busy bars and there was no where to sit as it was so busy. We ended up walking to the local garage to get drinks for the room. The noise downstairs was loud but stopped after about 12:30pm when they have stopped serving at the bars. It would be nice if they had a quieter section of the Inn for hotel guests. Also there was nothing to stop anyone waking up to the rooms where guests are staying. They have door men, but they are very pre occupied with the busyness of the bars. We did not stay for breakfast because only a few hours prior it was in quite a mess. I realise this is an Inn, but the environment it became was was not for us at all, which was ashame because our initial reactions were all positive.

First trip to Cardiff

The staff are amazingly friendly and check-in/check-out is a breeze. The bar and restaurant are amazing. Very spacious rooms in an amazing area of Cardiff; very easy walk to parks, city center, stadiums, train and bus stations, etc.

Great place to stay. Becky helped me with information over the phone before I arrived. I had my dog with me and all the staff loved her. The room itself was fantastic, very big, clean and had everything i needed. The manager conversed with me like he'd known me years and the location was great for what I needed (dog walking areas). This accommodation is treble the price without the level of service in that there London. Will hopefully stay there again in future.

Great place! Nice and central to walk everywhere and easy to park out front without costing a fortune!! Be prepared for a bit of noise as it’s a popular pub and doesn’t quiet down until midnight! We stayed a Friday night and the place was buzzing.
