Exactly what was needed to make our stay in Cardiff an excellent one. The food options for the restaurant are mostly available as room service and the quality is no less if you decide to dine in the extreme comfort of your room. The Spa is definitely worth a visit, my massage was muscle melting and I will definitely be staying here again.

Lucy in the spa was incredible- friendly, smily, very welcoming, bought us a drink as we were celebrating my 50th birthday. Charming lady
Lovely hotel but my experience with a member of staff at reception was not great. He was a little rude and dismissive when I sought to add an extra family member (16-yr-old) to the suite which sleeps 6. This was before the day of arrival. He refused to help as the booking was through Expedia. However, his colleague on the day of arrival was far more helpful and professional and sorted this out.
Guests have to pay extra to use the pool and sauna facilitates, this was not stated on the expedia website and one of the main reasons I booked the hotel. Check-in on expedia says 24hours but its actually from 4pm and check out is 11am, I arrived to check in late at 5pm and my room was still not ready. View from the room was terrible, window was facing the hotel hvac system. The price of the room was overinflated by over 100% because of a concert happening that day so overall it was not worth it.
Lovely check in by the staff late at night and they were very kind and offered me a chair as they could see I was struggling after competing in an event.
We really liked this property. The bed was super comfortable. Location great although you cannot pull up outside.
Breakfast was very good with attentive staff. In fact all staff we encountered were super friendly.
The only negative for me was, like so many other hotels, the lighting was not great in the room making it difficult to do hair or makeup. Plus no shelf/dressing table area even though room was spacious.
Would definitely stay again and happily recommend to others.
