Comfortable, clean & exceptional food in the restaurant.
Pros:

I was checked in very efficiently and a friendly staff member showed me to my room. The room was clean, as was the bathroom and the rainfall shower was amazing. The bedding and towels were clean and good quality, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The coffee and tea tray was sufficient. Television and Wi-Fi was good and I was able to work on my laptop whilst waiting on my dinner reservation time. The food in the pub/ restaurant was exceptional & I will definitely be back, should I be working in the area in the future.

Cons:

I have no complaints.

Disappointing.
Pros:

It looked respectable.
It was very clean.
Everything you need was provided.

Cons:

Although the room was very clean, very nicely presented, we felt claustrophobic.
The room was very small, very compact.
The room would have suited one guest. Two guests - the room was full. If we had been larger people we definitely would have struggled for space.
There was little space around the bed by the bathroom and end of the bed.

The bathroom was very small, you had to squeeze to the side of the toilet to be able to open/close the folding bathroom door.

The room contained a small table with tea/coffee tray, hairdryer hooked to side of the connected small wardrobe. To be able to use the table space, the tray had to go on the window sill.

The table had a mirror on the wall, as if it could be used as a dressing table, however with the haidryer, tv and dark curtains filling the space it was too dark to see in the mirror.
The lighting in the room was very very low, bulbs not bright enough to see well in the room.

The bed dipped too much at the pillow end, the feet end being raised so much, it felt as though we were lying upside down. It was so uncomfortable we reversed the way we slept, placing our pillows at the feet end, sleeping the opposite way.

The room was based to the side of the car park, with outside seating area for patrons close by. The noise outside naturally went on for a long while. We could clearly hear every word of the conversations going on.

It was not the little break we imagined, not a restful stay.
Very disappointing. 🙁

Cardiff ma non proprio nel centro
Pros:

Bellissimo il pub ma purtroppo la domenica la cucina chiude presto e siamo dovuti andare altrove per mangiare ...
Comunque lo staff gentilissimo ci ha dato informazioni utili per trovare un pub aperto ma non era dello stesso livello...

Cons:

Le stanze sono in una struttura staccata e quindi su perde un po' l'esperienza del pub con stanze supra (INN)...
