Standard rooms are very basic
Standard rooms are very basic and need refurbishment, its a short walk to the to the centre of town but to return late at night my wife did not feel the safe as route is via a bridge and not particularly well lighted side street and hotel entrace is arround the back via the hotel car park, there is no entrance from the main road. Also there was a smell of sewage in the car park that could also be smelt in the hotel bar area. For the price there are more modern options in the centre of town that we would choose if we were to stay in Cardiff in the future.

Unfriendly reception
The first they gave us the room in 1st floor, crowd area and room air conditioning os not working, also there is area which is under construction barrier right opposite our room. And then the other day, elevator showing 1st floor inaccessible…whats the point they gave 1st rooms to guest? They did change room for us but request us to switch the coach into the bed by ourselves which made us uncomfortable to do it.. a bit unfriendly to a customer.

Great hotel in good location. pet friendly.
The hotel staff were kind and helpful. We paid extra to bring our dog. The dog was allowed in the bar area which was good as it meant we could have a drink as dog could not be left on her own in room. There was lots of parking including electric chargers. The parking was £10 for 24 hours. All in all a good stay and would recommend the hotel.

The hotel was nice , communal changing area for the gym and pool could have been cleaner, shower cream dispenser didn’t pump . The towel rail in the bedroom was unplugged so we had fresh towels everyday which wouldn’t have been necessary if the towel rail worked because I didn’t want to use a damp towel. Bed was comfy, room quiet, staff friendly. Would stay here again

Room was spacious and quiet. Breakfast buffet was good and plentiful. Gym was good and pool, spa and sauna was probably the best aspect. Overall it looked a little tired in places and felt like some areas could do with a deep clean.

Front desk staff need retraining
Positives - comfortable beds, hot shower, excellent breakfast staff, very welcoming and accommodating and helpful even over a very busy weekend. Negatives - hotel is getting quite tired looking, swimming pool changing rooms not clean and front desk staff overall rude and unhelpful. Check in experience really stressful and difficult. Overall, not worth the considerable cost.
