Nice enough, avoid during hotter months
A very impressive building, full of history. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Hotel decor is beautiful. Breakfast wasnt great, not much choice, dirty plates, inedible pastries. Staff in the breakfast room were really lovely though, which was only saving grace. Cardiff Bay is so close by, you would get better for your money just up the road in Wetherspoons! Room was beautifully decorated with a jacuzzi bath (we stayed in a king room) HOWEVER, do not book to stay on a warm day if you can help it. This is definitely a winter hotel. There is no air conditioning due to it being such an old building. We didnt think it would be an issue, until we attempted to sleep in probably the warmest room I have ever slept in. The fan placed in the room did little to cool the air. Window opened a crack and the fans built into the room did nothing. We found a used tea bag on the floor so wasnt checked thouroughly after last guest. Lastly, the area around the hotel is a little sketchy. If id have visited on my own or with children i wouldnt have felt safe coming back later in the evening with people hanging around on street drinking.

Magnificent building if not a little tired… didn’t bother me but some people may view it as a negative Rooms very large and quirkily finished/decoration… was very warm night, so air con would be nice BUT it’s an old building… Bed wasn’t the most comfortable if I’m honest but there were some huge beds in one of the two rooms our family occupied. Bathroom was large and clean, good shower and large jaccuzi bath Breakfast was nice enough but didn’t reflect some of the really positive views I read which made me decide to choose as an option for the five of us. Would stay there again if I’m in Cardiff, hence my positive review.

Very Tired hotel - could be amazing
Arrived and our room was already given to another guest. We ended up in another room which must have been a reserve room as air con didn’t work (it was covered over by paper - see image) no shower curtain and was run down. Gorgeous building but very very tired. The breakfast was excellent.

The property is unique as it’s a historical building which is appreciated. The bathroom and large baths are very nice. Unfortunately I feel like the service could be improved, I tried to contact the hotel on Expedia as they initially sent an information message but didn’t get any response to my questions.

Great location In a quiet part of the town yet only 10 mins walk to mermaid quay with all the shops restaurants and attractions of Cardiff Bay . Beautiful Hotel with plenty of history and character but still retaining a touch of class. 😊 Staff very friendly and welcoming. The only moan i have is we ordered prosecco and it didnt come in an ice bucket and was a bit warm when we arrived as our train was delayed.

Not great.
Stayed here for our anniversary. Room was very dark & quite dated. Tv did not work & music was a definite no no. Jacuzzi bath tub was a nice touch & made our stay. Not how I thought the hotel would be, given being down the bay. Upon arrival to our stay we walked around culleys bar and restaurant back way and was greeted to smashed windows & demolished back end of the hotel. Was not great & will stay elsewhere in future.
