Overall the stay was great for one night and no complaints. I had an issue with the TV (user error not the TV and reception came up and sorted it is two minutes)
My only small issue is there was a very ominous stain on the carpet between the beds, and I tend to walk around the room with no shoes on, also the throw at the bottom of the bed seemed slightly due for a refresh.
Small issues and the only thing worth mentioning but great hotel, great location to the train station (although I drove), great proximity to restaurants, and friendly staff

Dirty little hot box.
Room was so hot and we could not turn down the heat or open a window. Medium clean, bed covers had stains. Room was odd shape and very small.

Couldn’t really fault the hotel.
It was clean, easy check in/out, great location. Bar expensive but that is expected in central Cardiff.

Not the best experience.
The lifts were temperamental in that you would select floor 8 in our case and it would take you somewhere else. This happened several times and we had to use the emergency stairs.
The breakfast items were not well cooked. The bacon was almost boiled. Overall the service looked understaffed amd quality of food was lacking.
The room felt very cramped and the bed was not the most comfortable.
We had to wait for almost an hour for toilet roll that never arrived. The reason for this was the staff were very busy.

Stopover 1 night
We only stopped a night enroute from north Wales. Excellent location. Walked from the Railway Station. Plenty of eateries/pubs/ coffee bars etc around
Room was good. Extra bonus not seen often was the coffee machine. Including a decaf pod 👍
