Far from Angelic
I’ve stayed here a few times and am from Cardiff. Had the same room as one before, where the broken window STILL hasn’t been replaced, stains down the wall, freezing cold (radiator is barely warm (tho they provided a heater), curtuans can’t be opened/shut properly, terrible stains on some bar seats downstairs.The staff are lovely (apart from the intransigent manager who wouldn’t budge on no refunds, despite a family bereavement).

Conveniently situated and close to all amenities and shopping. Check in was easy and staff were friendly and efficient. Room was small and very dated, window frame very old and bathroom needs a totally overhaul. This would be a great stay if the rooms were updated.

We checked in on time. The hotel looked after our luggage before check in & after we'd checked out. The room was clean and warm. The staff here were absolutely fantastic and the service from everyone was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.

I paid extra for a suite room number 136. On walking up to the receptionist we encountered a strong overpowering smell of cigarette smell. FIrst impressions rundown. The headboard was obviously broken as was down about 8" on the one side. Very few bits of very dated furniture in room. Glasses in bathroom unuseable as dirty. Black marks in loo bowl. Only one bath towel between two people. Only two teabags. Curtains didnt cover the windows. Curtain pelmets falling off. Marks that looked like spit on the wallpaper. Breakfast had to change cup as several rings where had been used before. Was told they only do coffee from a box so they said it was instant only. We were under the impression that there was parking. ..there is no parking! They gave us a discount code for the ncp but this wasn't accepted after 4 tries we gave up. I had fond memories of this hotel but now its a crumbling fossil of a bygone age. Heart breaking as was to be part of a christmas treat for my partner. We won't be back.

The breakfast was nice and the hotel was clean. It was perfectly located for shopping. However our room was disappointing, the radiator didn’t work so we had a portable one in the room. This would have been fine but it made a clicking noise so we couldn’t keep it on to sleep with and it was cold. The bed was nice but the pillows were hard and we must have been located by a boiler or generator as it was loud all night. We didn’t sleep so would not recommend room 312.
