Lovely

No towels in the room. Shower had one temp.

Very low quality breakfast. There was very basic continental options and the atmosphere of breakfast was grim. All tables were draped in black cloth. Looked like we were at a funeral.

Firstly can I say the staff were fabulous and very accommodating! It was the hotel itself that’s in need of some tlc. I paid extra for a nicer room, my friend had booked the more basic room so was interesting to see that both our rooms were identical except for the decor. Our room (142) had a horrendous smell of sewerage coming from the bathroom. The hotel must be aware of this as there was a plug in air freshener to disguise the smell in our room but not in our friends room where one wasn’t required. The tv in our room didn’t work. It would switch on but nothing else would happen. I didn’t inform staff as we were out most the day and only stayed one night. Also the shower in our room was scolding hot. I went to wash my hair and eventually gave up as I couldn’t stick the heat. Obviously turned the tap to cold and this made zero difference. Again I didn’t mention as we only stayed the one night. Shame as it had potential to be a lovely stay. Beds were comfy!

Very spacious rooms. Very good stayed many times

There was mould in the bathroom, no parking

Lovely historic building, liked the cleanliness and promptness of staff to fix leak problem in the room. Nice breakfast. Lovely stay!

Lovely stay

The staff were very kind and friendly. The room was clean and the bed was really soft and comfortable

Very dark - barely any lighting. Dust on bedside tables, scuffs on dressing table and walls. Cracked tiles in the bathroom. Wouldn't stay again.

Beautiful rooms, really spacious and oppulent. The only issue we had was that hotels.com hadn't released the money to the hotel despite taking it in full from me months before. When we arrived to check in it created a big problem due to 'non payment' - I would definitely recommend staying here, but would not book through hotels.com. The hotel will price match whatever rate you get online

Lovely breakfast

I can’t think of any negatives.

The staff we encountered were lovely . Unfortunately what should be a stunning building is in dire need of a refurb , in fact we had to ask to move rooms because of the unacceptable condition of our first offering.

Victoria on reception was really helpful and efficient

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed our stay very much.

staff very friendly . Nice stay for 1 night . Breakfast was nice

The hotel doesn’t have any air conditioning, apparently due to its age and historical importance to the Cardiff Bay area it has never been installed, even though theres was a temperature control in the room! So was very uncomfortable during our stay because of the hot temperatures. I asked for a fan but the hotel failed to provide one. The window wouldn’t close so was being disturbed at all times during the evening and mornings, especially as my window was close to the bin area and the staff were emptying the bottle bins from the night before! Overall we didn’t have a great stay so wouldn’t recommend staying here!

Great location and friendly helpful staff. Large comfortable room.

Very unique hotel with a lot of fascinating history and character. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. We happened to be there on a hot summer day, and there is no air conditioning in the rooms, which would be expected with an older hotel. The rooms were hot, but the hotel staff is very responsive in providing extra fans.
