Comfortable, value for money and great location for central Cardiff.
Pros:

Location and rooms, very large rooms.

Cons:

Stayed before and access to the pool used to be free, they now charge and feel the pool needs a little tlc.

Would never return!! Avoid!!!
Cons:

Rude staff
Rooms smelt of sewerage coming from the piping
Confirmed that I had breakfast and access to the swimming pool before the cancellation deadline to then not honour this on arrival and be very rude about it.
While there multiple guests made complaints at reception and all met with same non blanch service that really did not care and offered no compensation or apology for their mistakes us included.
More than 3 couples were allocated the same room with all key cards working and all had to go through the same embarrassing situation of walking in to a room that was already occupied.

Could be better.
Pros:

Room was nice with a lovely bath.

Cons:

Bar… only two members of staff running the bar and serving food. All the beers awful gave up and went to the nearest pub. Called a few days prior to my arrival to ask for my two rooms to be next door to each other and was also told my dogs overnights stay would be £20. On arrival rooms on separate floors and had to pay £30 for my dog.

I feel disappointed and viewed as an expense
Pros:

It’s well located and in a better state of repair than it was a couple of years ago

Cons:

1) Charging to access the swimming pool per day is acceptable. But charging for each admission in a day is mean.
2) The flow rate for hot water in bath shower and wash basins is lamentable. It took 20 minutes to fill a bath to an acceptable level after which it means getting cold. The trickle of water in the shower an insult. If you need the money saved so badly put it on the room rate? It won’t be sufficient to discourage people from booking

Disappointing
Pros:

The only good thing is its location

Cons:

No care and attention. Couldn’t find any staff on the front desk when we arrived. Bathroom tired. Went to the spa to ask about massage availability, the man on the desk didn’t seem to know about the spa at all. This hotel has been neglected since our last visit. No upkeep is obvious. Was a good hotel…… once

Location was good. But due to our experience on entering the hotel with staff, we wouldn’t stay here again.
Pros:

Close to city centre

Cons:

The staff on reception were clearly in the wrong job. Very rude and unhelpful. The same said for the bartender who served us a drink whilst we waited for our room.

Good location and friendly staff at the spa
Pros:

The location was spot on for what was required. The staff in the spa were extremely friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

The staff at the front desk weren’t very helpful, in fact were arguing over who was going to help me whilst I was standing there. I had a panoramic view however the windows were so dirty I was unable to see out of them

A perfectly located, comfortable hotel staffed by charming individuals.
Pros:

My room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.
The staff were all extremely friendly, kind and helpful. They really made my stay a joy.

Cons:

I was appalled that there is a £10 charge to use the swimming pool and sauna. I have never known a hotel to charge for this. I was very disappointed.

A lovely venue and Amrutha was great.
Pros:

As we arrived early, unfortunately our request for an earlier room was not available, however Amrutha in reception was extremely kind and helpful and allowed us to store our luggage. On our return to book everyone in Amrutha was extremely kind, supportive and helpful to us and we really did appreciate this.

Cons:

There was some dust within the room and the shower wasn't that clean.
