I liked that the hotel was very close to the Cardeff Central Station. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Also, a lot of the things to do, and places to see were within walking distance. The accommodation while comfortable could use a little updating. I will stay there again.

This is a cheap and cheerful hotel, manage your expectations and you'll be fine. A short walk from the train station, in the middle of town means the location is great for the price. The hotel is a bit tired but my room was clean, the bed was comfy and the shower strong. Very warm welcome too

Lovely staff and hotel, so friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable and right in the main city centre, lots of bars and restaurants close by, was noisy at night with all the bars and clubbers so close but we learnt to close the windows and have the fan on to block it out, would definitely stay again.
