Rooms are very basic , no tea/coffee in the room , one very cheap thin pillow. No aircon so opened windows but window directly over ventilation units so very noisy. Location great and staff were all very pleasant. However toilet on the groundfloor was resembling a festival toilet (8:30am on a sunday )

having no parking on property doubles the price of the room. i went with my friend and the shower was in the middle of the room so it was ridiculously awkward and the door was see through.

Great location for both Cardiff Bay and the city centre. Parking outside although you have to book and pay separately. It’s worth it. Basic rooms but for the price, it’s a bargain. Clean with good facilities- bar, breakfast (extra) and snack machines. Co op just across the road. Would definitely use again😊

Staff couldn't find my booking for a few minutes, which was worrying!! Room was very basic, only 2 towels, no hand towel/ hair towel. Sink in room was blocked and loo roll holder was broken. There's only 2 plugs and they're under the TV so you can't see in a mirror when drying your hair. Bed was clean and comfortable and room was ok for the one night we needed. Parking needs to be booked in advance as it's privately owned and there's no street parking anywhere close by. Easy to walk into Cardiff city centre, just cross the road and go over the bridge.

Budget - get what you pay for
The service and hospitality of staff is amazing! I know its a budget hotel but my god the beds are like cement. Theyre so hard and uncomfortable. Both me and my partner have sore backs from the stay. The cover is very thin and the bedding is bigger than the actual cover leaving you with thin fabric in many places. If youre a fairly new couple that is not 100% comfortable with each other, avoid. You can hear everyones business on the toilets as theres barely room to turn around in there. We also had a loud group in the hallway that was laying on the hallway floor at midnight. Screaming, laughing and calling their friends. Was 8 of them in the opposite room and could hear everything.

Solo trip to Cardiff
The room was warm, functional and secure but I did notice some damage from previous use & debris in the shower extraction vent. I probably will be rebooking this hotel again though as the staff were friendly & helpful & it is a good price for what I got. I did think about going to argos for a little kettle so I could've had a cuppa before bed, or when I first woke up as there wasn't one in the room.
