Parking at the NCP carpark that the Hotel recommend and offers a discount is not true. It is impossible to park at the carpark due to the stupid bus lanes

Lovely stay in Cardiff
Although check-in wasn't until 15.00, we arrived around 10.30 and were able to deposit our bag early, for a fee of £4, which went directly to a local children's charity, so no qualms at all. From the moment we arrived until our departure next morning, the service was excellent, friendly as well as efficient, and didn't seem at all forced. Our room had a quite large entrance area with wardrobe and tea/coffee making facilites, leading up to the sleeping area, which although not huge, was perfectly adequate. The room, including the bathroom was spotless, the room was a very comfortable temperature, and we were fortunate enough to be on the quieter side of the building, so had a very quiet night. Breakfast was perfectly adequate and the hotel is centrally located so ideal for our trips to the Christmas markets.

I like this hotel overall, but they have some things to work on. You can't see it from the road - if you don't already know it's there and where to find it, you never will. They have no drop off area for luggage - it's quite dangerous to try in the middle of the street, and parking is quite far. The staff is wonderful. The rooms are gorgeous and quiet, but there is a LOT of mold in the shower grout and caulking. It's really disgusting. And there is absolutely nowhere to hang a hand towel. The breakfast is grossly overpriced - for 14 I expect to order off a menu and be served. In fact in the town it's cheaper to do just that, but here it's average buffet. It's a great hotel, but needs some tweaking.
