From the outside this converted office building looks a little bit 'hostelly'. However once inside and in reception (on the 2nd floor) check in was easy and staff could not have been more helpful. The room was larger than average and the bed large and comfortable. The bathroom was well laid out and there were plenty of power points for... More

I will try and be as objective as I can. This hotel has some good points amongst the bad. Good - the shower was really powerful and the was a heated towel rail with large bath sheet towels. Bad - don't really know where to start!! Firstly, the corridors were ridiculously narrow and had more than a hint of Eau... More

Before I start I will say we only paid £29 for a double room with continental breakfast for 2 people for 1 night. This place is odd I guess they think the bright paint is different it just looks messy. It is a very basic hotel with very basic breakfast but it is in the centre of Cardiff with some... More

Website lulled us into a false sense of security. On arriving at the hotel we were very disappointed. The corridor was rather like a hostel and the lifts were frightening. Our room was on the 10th floor and the lift creaked, groaned and sounded like it was about to break down all the way to the top floor. The room... More
