We stay here quite often, car park onsite which is good value. Central location. Room lovely and spacious. Bed and pillows were a little hard but always bring my own pillow! Will definitely stay again.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was clean. Would recommend to people.

Friendly staff. Big comfy bed. Rooms very hot. Parts of skirting board missing around room.
...I chose this hotel (vs others in a similar price range) for a clean, spacious room with a bit of a view (upper floors, for a little xtra money) and a friendly and helpful staff and the Citrus delivered, so it was a great value-play for me, absolutely!!! Thanks, Citrus, see you next time. *****

The shower’s water pressure was really bad.
Housekeeping annoyingly woke me up by knocking on my door on the day I was checking out. Surely they should have a list of people who have checked out already?
Other than that it was a good stay. Good location and price.
Staff were lovely. Room was clean but very basic although said deluxe, no bedside lights. Room was very hot, but couldnt open windows and no air conditioning. The hotel appears to be in the middle of a refurbishment. There was free water at reception.
I loved the location, it was a short walk to all of the city center, dining, and the castle. The room was okay, plain, no AC but they did have fans. Beds were hard as a rock and I had trouble sleeping. There also did not appear to be housekeeping service, at least we did not get any, though I did see someone making up a room but assumed they only clean between guests. Hotels.com stated by booking was paid and I was all set, but the hotel told me it wasn’t paid and I had to pay then. It was a good stay otherwise.

Check in was fast, easy and staff were great. I was on the 10th floor and the lift was so slow. Theres a faint smokey odour on the floor and it lingered in my room for a bit. You can see theyve tried to tidy the place up, new paint, new bathroom and plug sockets with usbs but it still felt quite tired. You could feel the king size bed was just 2 bed pushed together and i couldn't find the tv remote. One side the windows were grayed out so you couldn't see out and none of the windows were openable. They put a fan and 2 heaters in the room so i would guess the temperature varies a lot in there. The breakfast was ok, very basic. There was sausages, bacon, scrambled egg and beans as the hot option.
For a budget hotel it was fine. But i wish id paid the extra £20 and stayed at a different hotel!

Cardiff Half Marathon weekend.
Stayed for couple nights as a base to explore Cardiff.
Conveniently close to the city centre, bus and trains stops to explore the other parts of the city.
The hotel facilities are run down including the rooms. Carpets are a bit dirty.
Stayed in 2 different bedrooms, they were both run down. One in a lower level, a bit outdated, namely parts of the walls and furniture. Also despite having big windows and plenty of light coming in, the windows don't open not allowing fresh air in and getting stuck with the stuffy air.
The air in the corridors is even more stuffy, it seems its either lacking proper ventilation or it is turned off.
The room in the top floor had signs of modernization but still worn down. Air was not as stuffy in the upper floors.
The property shows its age and in need of an overdue overall. Perhaps that's the reason prices are lower compared to other 3* hotels.
The hotel did not exist. The address you are directed to is a derelict building site. We had to book elsewhere on arrival

The room was clean. The air conditioner didn’t work, and being on the 10th floor, it would get a bit warm during the day. The windows didn’t open, so no fresh air. As I was leaving to checkout, the door handle came off. The doors had smart locks and you had to help the door close in order for the lock to engage.

What breakfast…?? There was no breakfast available despite you stating continental breakfast available. There was a kettle in the room but no cups to drink out of …no tea / coffee / milk/sugar …so the point of a kettle is ..?
Do not stay here. Horrible bodily odour smell in reception and lifts. Lobby area and rooms do not look anything like the photos on the site. The TV didn’t work, no bedside tables.. no lamps, no waste bin. Bed uncomfortable. HORRIBLE.
Area around not great lots of unusual characters
Take my advice and choose another hotel.
As a solo traveller too I didn’t feel safe.
