The staff at reception were brilliant, really pleasant and welcoming. I had a lovely stay, the beds were a little wobbly and noisy to any movement and room could have done with a lick of paint but would definitely come back

Excellent location, very convenient
Overnight stay for a concert at the Principality Stadium. It was a little pricey because of the concert but the location is fantastic. Very convenient, less than a block from the venue, restaurants, and across the street from Cardiff Castle. Train station is also just a few blocks away.

Stayed here a few times and always happy. Perfect location but unfortunately the stay wasn’t as good as normal. The rooms were far too hot, had to buy an extra fan to try to cool the room down. Breakfast was pretty empty and took a while to replace the food
