On arrival at room 129 at 5.20 p.m. greeted by pizza boxes empty glasses and wine bottles on door. Then went into bathroom and there were no towels. Although 2 beds in room bed nearest door was like sleeping on a slope as different height both sides . Perhaps a new mattress is required. Not happy with our stay at all!!

Room was spacious. Front desk staff were friendly and responsive. But the bathroom smelled and the beds were not properly made. There were insufficient toiletries and towels. Had to request twice to get the necessary items. Security was lacking and anyone can access the lifts and walk up to the rooms. The hotel location is next to some industrial scrapyards although it is within walking distance of the Mermaid Quay. Parking spaces were very tight and we found the last space at the far end away from the hotel. Will not return again.

Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived even though we were an hour after check in. We got to our room and it was okay, very tired for a 4 star and not really the standard I was expecting. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. We were awoken in the night to slamming doors from people who were drunk.

Really easy to get to Cardiif Bay and in particular Alexandra Head for a concert. You're closer than you think! Staff were very helpful particularly when my Type I diabetic 10 year old had an emergency. Staff very friendly. The room was very nice, clean and spacious. Great view.
