Hotel was fine. But certain advertised amenities were not working (air conditioning) or not available at all (laundry services advertised in booking but front desk said there were nome). Location is ok around halfway between the downtown and the docks area. Very walkable.

Lovely peaceful hotel on the waterfront. Do ask for the waterfront view (otherwise you’ll be facing car park). Comfortable room, large bed, kettle, iron. The breakfast is basic, but all in all good value for money. Cardiff Bay/city centre are 20 minutes walk in opposite directions. Bus stop is 5 minutes away, train station 10. So great location.

Friendly staff, comfortable beds, good location. However, we were on the 3rd floor and the room was roasting (only 24 degrees outside and not that sunny). They supplied a fan when asked, but it didn't really do anything. The warmth definately affected our quality of sleep. The loos are also very low, felt like we were back in school. Also, no milk for the coffee machines at breakfast, which was not labelled and we had to ask about.

From walking through the door, the young man on reception was polite, explained everything and with a smile. The room was clean, tidy and the bed was comfortable. At breakfast the experience continued to be brilliant, the lady explained the way Breakfast was a buffet and where things were. Wonderful view looking out over the wharf. Food was of a high Standard.
