All I wanted was a good night’s sleep. But due to the room being overly hot at night (a space heater with no thermostat had been left on) and the lack of sound insulation between floors I only managed a couple of hours. Very poor overall and I wouldn’t recommend.

The property is a very old building with great character unfortunately we were not prewarned filming was taking place so we’re unable to see the great hall area. Room good, good food, staff very polite. Area around the hotel very dirty not kept clean and dimly lit which made coming back late a bit uncomfortable.

Breakfast was nice. Corridors are a bit maze like and dark. Room was adequate, bed and linen was good. Staff on desk were polite. When we came back from tve city late having been drenched through with the rain, the staff on the night desk were lovely and fetched us some warm towels which were gladly appreciated.

Nice enough, avoid during hotter months
A very impressive building, full of history. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Hotel decor is beautiful. Breakfast wasnt great, not much choice, dirty plates, inedible pastries. Staff in the breakfast room were really lovely though, which was only saving grace. Cardiff Bay is so close by, you would get better for your money just up the road in Wetherspoons! Room was beautifully decorated with a jacuzzi bath (we stayed in a king room) HOWEVER, do not book to stay on a warm day if you can help it. This is definitely a winter hotel. There is no air conditioning due to it being such an old building. We didnt think it would be an issue, until we attempted to sleep in probably the warmest room I have ever slept in. The fan placed in the room did little to cool the air. Window opened a crack and the fans built into the room did nothing. We found a used tea bag on the floor so wasnt checked thouroughly after last guest. Lastly, the area around the hotel is a little sketchy. If id have visited on my own or with children i wouldnt have felt safe coming back later in the evening with people hanging around on street drinking.
