Dave

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pros: Very friendly staff. Spacious bedroom. Centrally located in Cardiff city and near the football stadium and restaurants/shops. Very reasonable price for room only. Cons: There is no hotel carpark and you should factor in parking in a nearby secure multistorey carpark. This cost me £32 per 24 hours. Apart from the grand entrance hall the hotel is looking very tired and needs investment.

I had always wanted to stay at this hotel after hearing so many stories of its past. Sure the grand old lady is a little faded but she has great atmosphere and I would much prefer to stay in a lovely and historic old building like this than a soulless box. The staff were a real credit to the hotel. They were so friendly and helpful. The location is superb and we had a fantastic view overlooking Cardiff Castle - so close we could almost touch it! I would definitely stay again.

Lift wasn’t working and we were on the third floor. Not ideal and would’ve been handy to have been told this prior to arriving as if we’d had my mother in law with us, which we almost did, she is disabled. Also, scaffolding outside the window banged all night making it impossible to sleep.
