Lovely hotel
Lovely stay in a beautiful hotel the rooms could do with a bit of tlc but other than that it was lovely. The bath was a great touch
A beautiful building and excellent breakfast. We came down for breakfast 15 minutes before the end and there was still lots of hot food. Very friendly staff. It is an old building, room 150 was very noisy, and we were kept up by the very noisy pipes from our room and the surrounding rooms. But all was forgiven due to the amazing shower and fantastic breakfast. We'll definitely stay again...with ear plugs.

Alright
It was okay for 2 nights in Cardiff but a little rough around the edges, the bathroom wasn’t clean and there were tobacco leaves on the dresser, not to mention a rip in the bedsheets, so better cleanliness is needed.

We were attending a show and this hotel was within walking distance. The hotel was grand and comfortable. It was clear to us that the fabric of the building is tiring and lacks some facilities. The staff were all excellent - friendly, polite, hospitable, warm, helpful. The bar was excellent; we didn’t have dinner. Breakfast was ok (plates were cold). In short - lived it - but perhaps needs some major investment

Lovely historical building in convenient location for Mermaid Quay, Millennium Centre etc. lovely room and very helpful staff. Would definitely stay again
Grabbed a last minute break away. Staff were friendly and hotel was nice with lots of history. Booked breakfast can’t say it was excellent just average hotel buffet. They could do with labels on maybe a tray to sit tea and coffee jugs on as unless you ask staff you don’t know which is which.
