Lovely location about a 5 min walk from central train station. 2 entrances - one on Mary street pedestran area and directly next to an LGBTQIA pub :), spitfire bbq across the street, convient access to 3 arcades and Cardiff Market, 15 min walk to the Cardiff castle. Staff very friendly and the clean modern rooms (on 6th floor) are quiet with minimal street noise. Breakfast is a good variety of fry up items, cereal, fruit and yogurts. Would stay here again!

The hotel is in a great place to explore Cardiff, literally a stones throw from the bus and train stations. There is a load of bars, cafes and shops right on the doorstep and the castle-which you must visit- is just up the road. The hotel is close to stadiums and theatres so is a great base to stay. Despite being in the heart of everything the room was really quiet and the bed just so comfortable. The room was clean, with an ironing board, iron, hairdryer and tea/coffee provided. The staff are lovely and helpful we will definitely stay here again.
