Three of us stayed for two nights for our annual get together. The hotel is well placed for walking into the city and also the bay. The rooms are on the smaller size but they're spotlessly clean and well equipped. Breakfast was a simple, help yourself buffet but had everything needed to start the day. Karen and the other staff...

Enjoyed a Sunday and Monday night here this week, very friendly and informative staff, very clean and functional. Close to Cardiff Bay Area and also short walk to city centre. Very close to Red Dragon Centre. I you don't want to venture out then there is a pub on the docks called The Wharf, which served some one best 'chain'... More

On the plus side. View over Canal , friendly staff clean and comfortable rooms. On the down side wifi is charged even in public areas. No satellite TV in the public areas. This is inconsistent with other hotels of this brand. I had booked the hotel expecting both. If you book with independent hotels you check these things but with... More

We booked this hotel for 37 people, ona Under 11's rugby tour from MAnchester, and I have to say we were very well lokked after. The staff were fantastic, the hotel is clean and very well laid out. The bedroom de3sign and layout was a bit awkward, but nothing worth complaining about. Very well recommended.

We stayed Friday through Monday. I would not recommend staying Friday or Saturday nights as it seems to be a popular place for people to drink it up and come in all hours of the night being loud and obnoxious. We hardly slept. But then! Sunday night came and it was an awesome place. The rooms were always clean, breakfast... More
