Nice hotel close to the centre

Nice hotel close to the centre just opposite the castle. Parking is available but can be a bit tight. We could walk to all the areas we wanted to see. Lots of dining options in walking distance.

Cardiff Stay.

Mary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Facilities were spotless. Service from all staff we met was great. Thank you especially to the receptionist who remained very polite and friendly when i was a bit stressy during check in! Welsh cakes at reception was a nice touch. Downstairs common areas are modern. Location very convenient for anywhere in the city centre. Room decor a bit more dated but still very clean. A standard room with double bed, was approx £130 plus parking £20 and breakfast £17pp was extra. Parking was 1st come 1st served, no booking in advance. I have paid less for much more luxurious accommodation in other places, but it was one of the better priced hotels i could find for Cardiff (with the 'has parking' filter). No complaints about our stay, the customer service and location were the main things i would return for.
