This seems ot be a "commercial hotel" gone upmarket. While there is nothing to fault it for except the enormous heat in the room and a window sop small that we couldn't ventilate it well enough it is so unusual to have a room based sauna as to be notable! The benefit of secure parking was a nice touch, but... more

I have stayed in several of the many B&Bs along Cathedral Road in Cardiff and this is probably my least favourite. Location: You can park outside and the hotel is about 15 minutes (brisk) walk to the City Centre, along an uneven pavement so watch where you're going. The room: Not a bad size and the bed was comfortable. As... more

Penrhys is an attractive building located in a fairly pleasant residential district of Cardiff. It's somewhat further from the city centre than I anticipated ( the hotel's website has since been updated with a more accurate map). It's a brisk half-hour walk from Central Station. Although initial impressions of the hotel were favourable, the room itself was a bit on... more

I'm headed back to Penrhys after a visit several years ago. Cathedral Rd. is a museum piece of Victorian Cardiff and is lined with period townhouses: I enjoyed the walk into the city center to the train since it was along this leafy street near a large park with a walking and biking trail. (It's much better NOT to stay... more

Just got back from staying in the Penrhys hotel. I didnt expect much as I booked at the last minute and there wasnt much else available. The decor of the place left a lot to be desired, lots of patterns. looked like it hadn't been decorated in quite a while. Little bit dusty too, as my allergies kicked in while... more

Only stayed one night in Cardiff, but we chose well at Penrhys. Nice clean, good-sized room, good breakfast, friendly staff and only about 25 mins stroll to city centre - although on bus route if needed. Parking at rear but we left it outside in Cathedral Road (amazingly unrestricted parking so close to a city centre). more
