Lifts can be annoying as you feel like you are waiting forever and when the doors open it full, this goes on and on in the mornings and it irritated the life out of me. Also the shower, it was just fixed and unable to remove it from the wall, hence not being able to rinse soap off with ease.. Staff were lovely Breakfast was good but no fried eggs!

Had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Clayton. Staff were great and helpful. Deluxe room was clean and beds very comfortable! Excellent breakfast with lots of choice. Close to shopping centre and lots of places to eat nearby! No parking but Cardiff train station car park is a 2 min walk away and very reasonable compared to other car parks in Cardiff! Will definitely stay again!

Stayed for one night as a spur of the moment whilst in Wales. Check in was very nice and quick. Room was clean and had the standard amenities provided and though near a main road junction I couldn't hear any noise from outside. Very close to the centre so you have plenty of options for shopping and eating out. I recommend going to Bill's for breakfast as the pancakes and the porridge is just stellar and a great way to start the day.

Check in staff very friendly and helpful.We stayed for 2 nights, but under separate bookings. This caused a bit of confusion as we didn't want to change rooms and check out then back in again. Thankfully, the staff sorted this out for us. No parking at this hotel, but only 5 mins walk to Cardiff central station so we parked there. Restaurant was fully booked, but we had a drink and the barman was very polite and cheerful. Only issue we had was my daughter stepping on some glass in our room. Thankfully only a small cut and a manger came to ours room with disinfectant and plasters. Have stayed here before and would again as it in a perfect location for what we wanted

Great room for the 3 of us ladies; one double and a single bed both of which were clean and very comfortable. Only downside was that the air con could not be lowered and it switched off at midnight so the room was very hot in August so sleep wasn’t great. Bottled water in the room and tea and coffee options. Great breakfast options. Safe in the room which is always a bonus. Stayed here a few times it’s great value for money in a very good location in the city centre.
