Fantastic located hotel with value for money also.
Great situation for Sports venues, pubs & restaurants. Lovely old style hotel & very comfortable bed resulting in a brilliant sleep. As suggested to manager a large shower mat should be provided as bath seemed really slippery & I was very wary getting in & out due to a bad ankle. Lighting was also quite poor over this area although Shower itself was beautiful & hot. Breakfast was delicious & hot also. If resolved the shower points it's 10/10 every time.

The hotel is extremely old and in need of significant renovation, as the condition of the rooms, the exterior of the building, and the corridors is outdated. It smells of age and dampness. However, the staff is very pleasant and welcoming. Our room had a view of Cardiff Castle, and considering the price and location, the cost is justified.
