The hotel offers big and clean rooms with nice facilities, though some rooms lack views and are smaller than expected. The service is efficient and helpful, even though a rare instance of unprofessionalism was noticed. The location is great, offering easy access to city attractions and convenient parking. Dining is good but may be a bit pricey. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, but the temperature control could be improved. Although lacking robes for a spa hotel, the room was overall good.

Wow, staying at this hotel was like finding a hidden gem in the city center! The quiet setting and the beautiful tree-lined view made for a peaceful stay, but there were a few minor inconveniences. The service was top-notch, though, with friendly and efficient staff ready to assist. The location couldn't have been better, allowing us to explore the city with ease. However, the dining experience fell short due to lukewarm dishes, but the room service was fantastic. Overall, a great value for the money!

The hotel was full of potential but fell short in a few areas. The rooms were spacious but very loud, requiring multiple complaints for resolution. The service was professional and swift in addressing issues but lacked warmth towards guests. The location was convenient with some thoughtful gestures, yet overpriced dining options. The dining experience was expensive and unexceptional, though staff were attentive. Overall, a mixed experience due to noise levels and pricing.

The hotel's location is its key asset, being well-appointed for both the gig venue and the city center. The rooms were modern and clean, but only partially refreshed after our first night. The service was fabulously welcoming and offered complimentary breakfast as an apology. The dining experience had plenty of choices but fell short of 4-star quality. The facilities were well-maintained.

I felt at home in the hotel, with big rooms and lovely high ceilings making it cozy. The bed was comfy, but being right opposite the club kept me up until the early hours of the morning. Despite the temperature being turned down, the noise was a bit of a downside.

The hotel's location is excellent, being just outside the main streets and very near the castle. The rooms are of average size with good facilities, including a very spacious bath tub, despite a rusty cracked part that requires attention. However, the rooms felt a little cold during the stay. The service was mixed with reminders regarding wine orders but overall a happy and friendly team in all areas, including room service and laundry. The dining experience varied from poor quality breakfast to fantastic selections. The hotel offers a great location, slightly away from the main tourist areas, next to a green area and with convenient front parking.

The hotel's location is perfect, right in the center with great access to local bars and shops. The rooms had an adjoining door, which led to another room, and were a bit draughty when sitting close to the windows. The service was excellent, with prompt responses and helpful staff. The dining experience was a little tired and crazy expensive. However, the facilities were modern and convenient.

The hotel is in a great location for exploring Cardiff, less than a 5-minute walk from the town center. The rooms are hot and stuffy due to the inability to use the A/C or open windows, with quite a large bathroom featuring a separate bath and shower. Despite not being ready upon my arrival after 2.30, the staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming, especially with my older mother. However, the room was extremely small, and there was a lot of noise from nearby pubs/clubs until about 2 am.
