I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was fantastic with an extra bed, and having tea and coffee facilities was a great touch. The service was top-notch, including excellent dry cleaning. The location couldn't be better, situated on a busy Cardiff street near clubs, right in the center of the city, and with a cafe next door. The dining experience was delightful with delicious pasta. The facilities were great, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, the price could be a bit high for some, and one downside was the noise from being near all the clubs.

The hotel is situated right by all clubs and offers a vibrant stay with excellent amenities. I enjoyed the extra bed in my room, and having tea and coffee facilities was a nice touch. The service, however, lacked in dry cleaning options. The location is perfect for those who love bustling Cardiff street life but may be noisy for some. The dining experience is decent with fresh cream cakes, but the facilities could use some updates.

Our stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The location is superb, right in the heart of the bustling Cardiff street scene, close to clubs and all the tourist hotspots. We found it convenient to walk around the city center and explore various attractions. The hotel is central to bars, making it easy to experience the nightlife. The extra bed in the room was a great bonus, but having tea and coffee facilities really made it feel like a home away from home.

The hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of the city center, near various clubs and within easy reach of all tourist attractions and shopping hubs. The rooms are spacious and come with the convenience of tea and coffee facilities along with the option for an extra bed, which was a great feature. The service, highlighted by prompt dry cleaning services, was top-notch. While the dining experience offered a selection of local cold cuts, the absence of a broader menu might leave some craving more. The hotel's facilities cater to all your needs efficiently, ensuring a comfortable stay with great value for money.
