My room was ok but the bathroom smelt of cigarette smoke and the carpet could do with a clean and it would be nice to have a bigger bed as it was a standard double. It would benifit from a lick of paint

The room was huge and good value for money but the carpet in the room was badly stained and the bed was a standard double which should really be upgraded to a king or superking to be appealing in todays market. The room was clean but l felt could do with a repaint as it was a bit tired, the location and staff were all great though x

Very convenient for Cardiff city centre, good breakfast, friendly staff, comfy room Placement of shower curtain was a bit awkward, making the shower space a bit too small (bath and shower were perfectly fine, the rail is just too far in)

It is fair to say that this hotel has seen better days, especially regarding decor and cleanliness overall. There was an odd odour in the corridors.
