Lucky , We just booked for one night . I see it on their website that should have an air conditioning , it is not truth . Only the lobby on the ground floor has a real air conditioner with cool air , unbelievable! The room is too hot , the staff said that the air conditioner in our room is in eco system thus it just an air flow system ! I need to borrow a fan from the hotel but it doesn’t help and the window has a lock that only allows me to open not more than 10 cm . I sweat all night long . Also , The water pressure is very low .

Size of a twin bedrooms is good. The breakfast is good, too. The beds are comfortable. No shower gel in the bathroom 😔 luckily we checked before we stepped into showers! Tissue box wasn't filled with tissue papers. I guess its housekeeping needs to be improved!

The hotel was lovely and clean and the room was just what we needed after a long day of travelling. It would have been nicer if we had a bath
In the room but that is just personal preference. It was clean and tidy and we had tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
We were only a twenty minute walk from town a perfect distance to walk into town and walk back safely the route is well lit and pretty straight forward.
The breakfast was fantastic and it is served overlooking the bay so a lovely morning view.
The breakfast was buffet and we had multiple trips up and down to enjoy all the food. Our favourite was the pancake machine with the strawberry jam it was delicious.

I had a lovely stay here. The room was very clean and a nice size, plenty of space for one or a couple would be fine too. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was the usual basic hotel breakfast but satisfied me just fine. The location is perfect, so close to Cardiff Bay which is where I wanted to be, but tucked away and quiet. There was no noise from anywhere, so a very restful sleep. I will definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.
