На пару дней за скромные деньги вполне.
Pros:

Расположение, персонал, площадь номера, наличие чайно-кофейной станции

Cons:

Сантехника. В номере очень влажно, но, вероятно, таков климат в южном Уэльсе.
Комфорта четырехзвездного отеля не ждите, но и цена соответствующая.

Central budget stay
Pros:

Super location a couple of minutes walk from everything - station, stadiun, restaurants, shops. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean comfortable room, which was a good size and huge bathroom.

Cons:

Lights in room very bright. In night could do with dimmer light.
No lift. If you are fit and healthly it is not an issue. Staff were so lovely, helping with bag.

Great hotel
Pros:

Great hotel location. The lady at the reception was very kind, friendly, and helpful. The hotel was clean and nice, with a comfortable bed and, most importantly, a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

Cama incómoda y hotel poco limpio
Pros:

Lo único bueno : la ducha el agua salía bien y el baño era amplio. La ubicación es céntrica pero nuestra habitación daba al frente de la calle principal y desde las 6 am se escuchan alarmas de unos pilotes que suben y bajan . IMPOSIBLE DORMIR

Cons:

Para empezar la cama es tan tan tan finito el colchón que tú espalda toca las maderas de la cama. JAMÁS dormí en una cama tan incómoda ni en hostels vi camas tan percudidas. Por otro lado estaban arreglando la fachada de afuera y teníamos a PERSONAS COLGADAS de nuestra ventana sin tener intimidad y no poder abrir las ventanas para que entre luz. Cabe destacar que no nos avisaron de esto.

Hôtel très bien situé au cœur de Cardiff, confortable et personnel chaleureux
Pros:

La localisation est parfaite, la réceptionniste Anne-Marie était d’une gentillesse incroyable, la chambre était bien équipée (quoi qu’un peu encombrée), grande salle de bain et lit confortable.

Cons:

Hôtel assez vieillissant donc il ne faut pas s’attendre à quelque chose de moderne. Il semble quand même bien entretenu, à part les moquettes qui devraient être remplacées
