The staff was excellent and so helpful. Breakfast was quite impressive: generous and delicious. Great location for the event I attended at Principality Stadium and also convention to attractions, shopping, restaurants.

It is a very good property. Clean, quiet and a very short walk to the city center.

Really enjoyed our stay and would definately stay again, close to the hustle and bustle of the center but far enough away so it’s not a distraction, plenty of food options around and a lovely big park opposite for a walk around by the castle. Nice breakfast in the morning and comfy room. Recommend and would stay again.

The hotel is in a very good location close to the city centre no problem at all getting from place to place. A lot of restaurants available. Hotel provide standard breakfast nothing special but dinner was surprisingly good especially the foods they do for children. Hotel overall was ok it is a bit aged the room, quite easy to see from the wall, the carpet, the mould in the bathroom. Because of that it makes you feel the place isn’t very clean.

Property dated. You would think the chain would sort this out. The accommodation is not worth the price I paid.

The bathroom had seen better days and the bath had an area where water stains were visible from where a shower must have leaking for some time. The pillow and bed clothes has an old sweaty smell to them. On checking out I wasn’t given a final bill as the computer system was down. A shame a location good and staff friendly.

Property is maintained well. The city slightly farther from the hotel is not the best, and has the same issues as any other city. Panhandling, drunk folks etc.

Wonderful Fiona
We arrived late 21:30 and found that the systems were down. Fiona was a beacon of calm and professionalism, during what must have been a very stressful time! It’s people like Fiona who restore your faith in humanity. Thank you so much for making us feel valued and warmly welcomed, you are a superstar!!

Comfortable and clean. Food good and staff pleasant and helpful. Bedroom adequate, but bathroom very small and the shower was difficult to set to a sensible heat and power.

OK, but small room at premium rate
All good, location, car park, facilities, breakfast. Room was a bit cramped, particularly bathroom. Wanted to stay an extra night but was quoted over £200 so went to the Travelodge at Llanedeyrn which was a much bigger room for less than half the cost
