I had a great stay with brilliant value and an excellent breakfast. The room was quite spacious and the bathroom seemed recently updated, with no feathered bedding, which was a plus. However, the check-out service could use some improvement in customer service. The hotel's location was directly in front of a huge shopping mall, making it convenient for shopping enthusiasts, but the staff seemed distracted when assisting guests. The dining options included tasty gluten-free choices, although not included with the rate, and the home-baked bread was a nice touch.

The hotel offers rooms with proper size twin beds and great views, but lacks TV and air conditioning due to power issues. The service provided by the wonderful staff members is overshadowed by some instances of less-than-ideal customer service.

This hotel is the center of comfort and convenience! The rooms offer a stunning view through big panoramic windows and are equipped with all essentials like shampoo. The service, although not perfect at check-out, was generally pleasant, accommodating, and in need of some customer service training. Situated right in the heart of Cardiff, the location couldn't be more perfect, being just a stone's throw away from the central station. Dining here is a treat with fresh, gluten-free options and a laid-back atmosphere. The facilities cater well to guests' needs with a great selection of amenities.

The hotel offers rooms with great views and a great bathroom, perfect for families needing an extra bed for a child. The rooms, however, could use better ventilation as the fans only blow hot air.
