Nice novel accommodation for a short stay.
Pros:

Location in the marina was great. Close to the barrage so could walk to Cardiff.
Big, comfortable bed.
Spacious bathroom - although some of this space could be better used.
Lovely balcony to sit outside amongst the yachts.
Great food at Goose on the Loose.

Cons:

Not enough space to unpack luggage and hang clothes.
Intermittent water pressure in the shower.
Just 2 small cups so constantly washing/refilling.
Minimal info about directions/arrival/check in.

Delightful stay on a floating room
Pros:

Location is superb. Aside from being on a delightful small marina, it's an easy and interesting walk into Cardiff via Cardiff Bay where the main nightlife and bars/restaurants are. The sun setting over the marina while sat on the deck was beautiful. There's a pub right on the marina that serves great food and local shops are within easy distance.

Cons:

One or two spiders needed coaxing out, but really didn't bother me.

Stunning location
Pros:

The room is beautiful compact and perfect
The lady who checked us in was lovely, really friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.
The view is amazing and had lots of visits from the swans

Cons:

Unfortunately whilst we were staying at the marina, they were working on the landslide that had happened. They drilled from 9am to 3/4pm everyday. It did spoil it a little.
Room is very hot even with the fan on, it definitely needs air con.
