A lovely relaxing evening in a super comfy bedroom. The bath was big enough for two people to share comfortably. The only down side was the shower had a really annoying cold drop!

A beautiful building and excellent breakfast. We came down for breakfast 15 minutes before the end and there was still lots of hot food. Very friendly staff. It is an old building, room 150 was very noisy, and we were kept up by the very noisy pipes from our room and the surrounding rooms. But all was forgiven due to the amazing shower and fantastic breakfast. We'll definitely stay again...with ear plugs.

Alright
It was okay for 2 nights in Cardiff but a little rough around the edges, the bathroom wasn’t clean and there were tobacco leaves on the dresser, not to mention a rip in the bedsheets, so better cleanliness is needed.

We were attending a show and this hotel was within walking distance. The hotel was grand and comfortable. It was clear to us that the fabric of the building is tiring and lacks some facilities. The staff were all excellent - friendly, polite, hospitable, warm, helpful. The bar was excellent; we didn’t have dinner. Breakfast was ok (plates were cold). In short - lived it - but perhaps needs some major investment
