Great room size
Incredible room sizes for the money but unfortunately we found the beds uncomfortable and the hotel's ambient noise over night really restricted the hours off sleep we managed to get.

Good property, spacious room and comfortable beds. We were in a King Suite which was comfortable but oddly laid out. Main light controls were in 402 but we were told 401 and our key only works for that door, so we had to stumble through to find them. Room overly hot. Keys stopped working when we came in at 130am, had to call night manager twice to get in our room. Breakfast - basic fare, bacon and pancakes were overcooked and hard. Worth the room rate but improvements could be made.

Comfort and cleanliness
Everything about our stay was great. The cleanliness and confort of our twin beds, the self-service buffet breakfast was excellent. The location is ideal for us to visit friends and relatives all over Cardiff. We have stayed at this hotel a few times previously and will do so again.

No hot water in the morning. Went to NY party which was really good so perhaps the hotel was busier than usual? Staff were ok, however there was one lady who was really professional and friendly so made our visit enjoyable

Most excellent but check in awful.
The hotel was very good. All staff very friendly & helpful. Having free parking is extremely useful. But the check in process seemed difficult as they could find us the system (we had booked via Hotels.com)

The hotel is extremely dates. Our bathroom smelt of stale urine. The internet would not connect and with two children who’d been on a long drive this is unacceptable as one has ADHD and just wanted to play his video games. Very smelly, stressful and will not return
