The rooms were well maintained and clean. Entire hotel needs a little TLC in terms of painting and decorating. The staff were very nice and the positioning of the hotel allows for easy access to the city centre by bus, 58 or 57 and tbere is a good pub nearby for food and drinks. Good value for money all round.

Liked: Cleanliness
Although the room and en-suite looked a bit tired and could do with a refurbishment but it was kept clean and bright. The staff are very polite and friendly.
There is a separate charge for parking in their car park.

A clean, decent, cheap option for a drop into Cardiff. Good public transport connection. One downside is parking is on a very steep land and has just turned into a pay to park/anpr job.

Friendly staff at the check in. The main hotel building and reception looks presentable.
The room was great value and exactly what I needed to have a night’s sleep after an event. The bed was comfortable, bedding clean. There were tea making facilities.
The room was very basic and dated, with cold lighting - it was not very inviting. However focussing on the value, it was great for the price paid.

Really run down. Bright lights on outside with thin useless curtains. Stains on the wall. Shouldn’t have to pay for parking at an out of town hotel either. Staff were wonderful though.
