Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was spacious. Front desk staff were friendly and responsive. But the bathroom smelled and the beds were not properly made. There were insufficient toiletries and towels. Had to request twice to get the necessary items. Security was lacking and anyone can access the lifts and walk up to the rooms. The hotel location is next to some industrial scrapyards although it is within walking distance of the Mermaid Quay. Parking spaces were very tight and we found the last space at the far end away from the hotel. Will not return again.

Terrible
Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived even though we were an hour after check in. We got to our room and it was okay, very tired for a 4 star and not really the standard I was expecting. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. We were awoken in the night to slamming doors from people who were drunk.

One night stay, clean and comfortable. Staff helpful although a bit of a queue to check in. Rooms hot although air con helped a bit. Bar comfortable didn’t eat in as it’s an easy walk to Bay and all amenities. Would stay here again.

Really easy to get to Cardiif Bay and in particular Alexandra Head for a concert. You're closer than you think! Staff were very helpful particularly when my Type I diabetic 10 year old had an emergency. Staff very friendly. The room was very nice, clean and spacious. Great view.

Great location in the bay with free parking. Friendly, helpful staff. Speedy lifts right up to 6th floor. Very welcome extras like biscuits and bottles of water in rooms and bathrobe to use. Apples sometimes available outside lifts. Beds not quite as comfy as Premier and TVs smaller, but a very enjoyable stay.
