Nothing, we left after seeing the room.
The hotel is right in the city centre, we entered from the back entrance and there was no security at all, anyone could walk in and as the reception was two floors up no one would know. We arrived at reception and there was no one on the desk, another security warning. We were given a room key card and after walking along endless narrow corridors and up two flights of stairs, after the lift we arrived. The room was dark, smelly, the bathroom had black mould and the curtains and bed spread were dirty. The floor was also very dirty in the corners and for some bizarre reason there was a rubber bathmat on the floor going into the bathroom. As two women travelling together we did not feel safe in this hotel or wanting to sleep there, we checked out
A/C, staff friendly, location convenient. Did the job for one night, close to castle, river, etc.
Found out in the morning after a too-warm night towel heater bar in the bathroom was on, competing with the A/C that was not very powerful. Shampoo was watered down, conditioner seemed to be shampoo, not conditioner.
The property location was perfect, right where we wanna be in central Cardiff. Surrounded by eateries and a Tesco express and right in the centre of town for shopping. The rooms were nice and clean and spacious and well facilitated.
It was a little dingy and less fancy than the images suggest. The elevator made some concerning noises and closed quite abruptly, crushing anyone in its way. But if you took the stairs you had to go up a fair few to get to reception, which isn’t ideal.
It was central
The bed was far too soft as were the pillows
It had a thick winter duvet on the bed and we were in a heat wave!
The bathroom needed up dating.
Godt ældre byhotel i centrum af Cardiff og tæt ved banegården. Venligt og imødekommende personale. Godt og stort værelse på 6. sal. God morgenbuffet.
Vinduerne kunne ikke åbnes.
Location, staff
Low water pressure in bathroom sink, had to ask for clean towels. No housekeeping

The property was in a perfect location to explore Cardiff and very close to the train station, shops and castle
My room was not ready to check into at 15.00 hours. I was told this was due to lack of staff.
When I did eventually get access to the room it wasn’t locked and door was slightly open. The room was dirty. I await contact from owner to address these issues but have been ignored so far
Central location. Near restaurants, bars and sights.
The floors in the bedrooms weren’t that clean. Bathrooms ok but not clean enough.
Location perfect for Graduation. Air-conditioning was great, lovely big room. & we were put in a quiet room as requested. Staff very friendly & helpful.
It was central to various amenities.
The windows were dirty. There was no reception desk, you had to walk up 2 sets of stairs to the 2nd floor for reception. There is a lift but it is at the back of the hotel, never ever seen that before. It says on booking.com it has car parking. It doesn't, apparently you get a discount at some car parks which we were not told which ones. We ended up parking in a NCP and had to pay £25 for this with no discount.
