Wonderful location

The location is perfect. From our room, we could see the clock Tower ☺️ of Cardiff castle. Joey in the reception was very kind, as all other staff. The hotel is an antique and traditional building, very beautiful both inside and outside, but our room was newly refurbished

The hotel is tired and in need of a renovation. However this somehow adds to its charm. Air conditioning would be a benefit.
