Convenient to everything ddowntown around the Cardiff Castle. Staff was excellent and very helpful. It was a little hard to find and we had to park in the multi level car park a few blocks away. But loved the place. The only negative thing was the orange juice at breakfast. I'm sure it was a mistake I had already taken a few large gulps of it before I tasted it was very furmented. I didn't do very well from 12 to 24hrs after that because of that. However, the rest of the breakfast was top notch and food excellent. I think someone just loaded a bad batch of orange juice in their container.

Appalling

So shocked how bad this place is. Urine on the toilet seat. Ripped bed sheets. Extremely hot room despite all windows being open. Dirty table and bin in bathroom. Paper thin walls and very smelly.

We had a twin room, my bed was desperately uncomfortable with a sagging middle - it needs replacing. Fortunately, there was a 3rd bed in the room, so slept there.

We were given a top-floor, city view room during 30c weather. The room was crooked. The floor was uneven. The bed was slanted. The heat made the room sticky and unbearable. Opening the window made it smell of pigeon poop. The bathroom was mouldy with a disgusting shower curtain, a metal holder that my husband cut his head on, no temperature control on the very hot water, and tub sides that were painful to climb over. A complaint lead us to another room on the garden/parking side that was much better. The staff who assigned us the horrible room was unfriendly almost to the point of rudeness. The staff who reassigned us the next morning was very friendly and helpful. We do not recommend a city view room. Fair value for close to high street but chose a garden room in the newer wing.

Not good

I went for a deluxe room but there certainly was nothing deluxe about only the size. The room was so hot I could hardly sleep. The towel rail was on fully and could not be turned off. Bathroom was like a sauna and shower head full of scale with a trickle of water coming out.

Not somewhere I would ever return to, it was dirty, the toilet had not been flushed from previous occupant, terrible drain smell, broken lamp in room, only one mug for us to either share or take it in turns to have a cuppa, uncomfortable bed, very ratty, no redeeming qualities whatsoever!!

I stayed for a week and the best part of the stay was the bed. It was super comfy and got a great nights sleep each night. The bathroom was ok, but the shower was small, so a bit of a squeeze. There was also a step in my room, from the bathroom to the bed part which took a bit of getting use to. The staff I met were very friendly and helpful.
