Slightly strange check in?
Not a major issues but I find it strange that the staff insist that they have to record the long number from your credit card into their computer. Two other people were checking in at the same time and they both queried this and were as puzzled as me. (Apparently it’s an older system and it’s what they have to do?) The number was jotted down despite the fact I had literally just paid with same card.

I had a very disappointing experience during my stay. It started with a frustrating 30-minute delay at check-in because the hotel couldn’t locate my reservation. Once I was finally given a room key, it didn’t work. I had to repeatedly ask staff for assistance, but instead of addressing the actual problem with the door, they just kept changing the key. This led to an additional 30-minute wait before I could even enter my room. I had booked a King Suite, but unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn’t working, which made the room quite uncomfortable. To top it off, at check-out, I was informed that I had been overcharged due to an error made by the receptionist. Lastly, the lift was also out of order during my stay, adding to the overall inconvenience. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience, and I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Amazing
Amazing 2 nights in Cardiff. I was looking for a place away from the hustle and bustle of the city and found this hotel not far from Cardiff bay. Photo included is the maple pecan pie desert, and I can say I had about 3 portions - it’s that delicious :)
