Nice place

Really nice place. Was only there for one night for Oasis gig. Room quite small but really nice. Great shower and everything you need for nice stay. Clearly the price I paid had been hiked because of the concert but that applies to every hotel in Cardiff. Overall I was really happy with my stay

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!!!

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.

lovely location, comfy accommodation

This hotel is in a fantastic location near a beautiful park, which leads to the castle and across to the other side of town. I arrived just after food service had ended, but diners were still enjoying their meals, and everything looked delicious. My room was lovely, located right at the top of the building, though I didn’t see any lift access, which might be a limitation for those with mobility issues. The room itself was beautifully decorated, with a large, comfortable bed and an oversized shower. I also appreciated the cozy sofa and desk, which made it easy to work in the space. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for anyone staying in Cardiff!

Rooms are nice and a good location. Nice little bottled water, tea, coffee and milk selection. Blind didnt work fully in my room so had sunlight in early and my room was above a court yard so was conscious people could see in with my light on! Be cautious that the rooms are above a bar so it is very noisy!
