A good hotel which is close to the castle, the city centre and only a short walk through Bute Park to Glamorgan Cricket. Lots of pubs, bars and restaurants nearby.

Disappointed
The hotel room liked tired. The curtains were torn at the back and caper had stain makes that looked like had been there for a very long time. The bathtub had crack marks with a rusty colour.. I was very disappointed with the standard of the rooms. If it was a budget hotel then maybe my expectations would have been lower.

Attended a concert at Principality stadium ..Location of hotel is great !! But premium rate for standard room was way over the top !!To say room was small is an understatement !! Bathroom very small knees hitting door when using loo and bed slighter bigger than a single for two people absolute joke ...Staff on reception great .. Staff on bar area not so happy with there jobs !! Overall great for location but needs improvement !

Great location, service and price.
Lovely room with a view over the castle grounds. Fastest filled bath ever - a fabulous soak was had! Only real downsides are no sockets near the bed and no USB ports so don’t forget to bring an adapter plug or two and a very long cable. Fantastic selection at breakfast. Wonderful stay - thank you.
