Excellent

The location was excellent, walking distance to everything. The castle is right across the street. the hotel is old, not a complaint just stating a reason why one lift was broken down. my room was very small and I had no USB plug in my room. However the employees let me plug USB at the bar. I would stay here again. thanks
Lovely hotel right opposite the castle. The staff were all really friendly and helpful and did various gestures throughout the stay to ensure they went over and beyond to keep us comfortable travelling with our toddler.
I am very pleased our stay. The stuff were always cheerful with friendly smile. Comfortable bed & hearty breakfast. The location couldn't be better. We were able to park at Holiday Inn, which is just next door at only £10. Definitely stay there again.

Great location. Dated hotel
Great location and lovely size rooms. But overall hotel is looking a bit tired. No parking here (some kind of building work out the back) but reception did provide a discount for a local NCP. Room on the third floor was v hot, with no way of reducing the temp as the windows didn't really open. Wifi didn't seem to work up there either.

Disliked: Amenities
Room for two should have more than one towel. Blinds and other areas that obviously don’t get cleaned very often were very dusty. The beds were really comfortable and had a great sleep. Poor quality English breakfast items and, the fruit options were fresh watermelon or tinned peaches with some McDonald’s style cheese slices!
The stay started out terrible: phone, toilet, lights, electrical and room temp didn’t work.
We notified management and were moved to another room which was wonderful.
Overalls very nice stay.
Friendly and helpful staff. Overall we had a good relaxing time. Near the castle and close to the city centre. Cardiff Arms Park was 3 minutes away.

A one night stay dropping our daughter off at uni. Convenient location and friendly staff. Clean throughout. It is a dated Victorian hotel which most have been fabulous in its time. Fan in the room as no aircon and windows don’t open but this was fine. Overall for the price we paid no issues with it.
Overnight stay so wasn’t in the hotel for much, felt that it was comfortable but dated

Nice, convenient location but a few issues
Convenient location and if lucky you get a lovely castle view. Service was good - although the hotel bar wasn't always manned. Should be. Windows need some serious restoration - mine had a crack on one of the panels. Also my room had the corridor light shine through my room which I could cover up - shouldn't be the case...definitely needs some 'nip and tuck'
Beautiful hotel with spacious rooms and incredibly friendly service

Lovely old building, with a sweeping staircase near to the entrance of the hotel. My premium room was large with three windows and a large super king size bed. The bathroom had a wash hand basin with several cracks in it. I found the food poor quality and expensive. Only one of the lifts were working which staff used as well as guests.
Lovely staff in a beautiful old building. Rooms are fairly basic but very affordable considering the excellent central location. Parking is a bit of a pain, but concierge has a voucher for nearby parking deck.
