Both lifts were out of order, which meant a lot of stairs for all guests. It was very warm throughout the hotel, so much so that we had a fan running all night

Room ok, but dated. Staff very friendly and welcoming.
Grand entrance.
So close to Cardiff city centre amenities.
They need to be explicit about no parking on site and make discounted alternative arrangements eg Cardiff arms park car park for guests. Arrival was stressful re parking abd unloading .. not even a drop off zone.
Room poor, window woodwork flaking. In need of some filler and paint at the least. Furniture dated and worn. Lift not working. Hotel needs an upgrade. £151:19 for one night. We won’t be back. Best thing about the hotel is the location

Convenient location, clean room and a good size. Lifts not working were not really an issue - shower had good water pressure and temperature
Perfect location, central and easy to walk to Cardiffs fine dining area, Caroline Street

We did not stay at this hotel. The room was unbearably hot, we were advised to open the windows which that overlook one of the main streets in Cardiff city centre

. The room was clean the staff friendly, a lovely bar there where you can relax if you don’t want to go straight up to your room. Good location. I have stayed there a few times it’s a really nice hotel.

The staff were all amazing, so courteous and helpful.
Staff lovely. Lifts didnt work. Rooms were too hot with no air conditioning to ease it! Light switches took a while to figure out didn't turn on by the door but worked out the switch by the made it work.
I did not have breakfast. Just room only stay. Shame the lift was out of order. Room was clean, noisy under foot- laminate floor was echoed as you walk on it. Lead to complaint made by room below.
Hotel was clean and staff were lovely.
Just a shake about lift and being complained about!
