Building was a bit tired and the elevators were not working at all while we were there. Even though there were only three flights of stairs the carpet makes it tiring to walk up. Room was relatively hot but keeping the bathroom door closed helped, as did the large fan in the room. There were only a couple of outlets by the desk to use. Bed was a bit saggy but tolerable. Very convenient location to the market with lots of food and drink options, and castle and park across the street. Breakfast buffet had lots of selection and was a great way to start the day.

Great location opposite cardiff castle and near queen street with lots of banks eateries and shops. Hotel had helpful friendly housekeeping staff, topped up cleaned and helped with the luggage with a smile. Food was good and well priced for a hotel. Reception staff a bit untrained. They were confused on two occasions on duration of my stay and how to program the card. Each time was a different staff. I stayed for 10 days and twice my cards got deprogrammed and I had to trudge back three flights down to reception to get it programmed again! BIggest issue : LIFT DID NOT WORK DURING MY ENTIRE STAY, I had to climb up three flights of stairs to get to my room. And I had to shop for school and dorm supplies and haul it up and then find the card was not working on two separate occasions and carry it back down to reception and back up again. Staff said it was an old lift so they were waiting for spare parts to be shipped from the US!! I would not have bookeda hotel without a lift. Even with a working lift you have to carry the luggage up from hotel doors to reception ! The room also does not have a mini fridge.so its hard to store milk or cheese or drinks. Fire alarms kept going off several times.

Nice room—small but adequate. Great beds! Shower was nice and hot. Breakfast was worth the $15. The location of the hotel was perfect. We walked to the castle, High Street and the Cardiff Market. Great restaurant choices and decent shopping within walking distance. We also had drinks and played games at the bar. Nice friendly sta

Nice old building but in need of a good clean and update. Room was on third floor at the other end of the hotel, lifts were not working so it took quite some time to walk to the room with our luggage. Room smelt damp and unpleasant, would not return.

Great hotel

Lovely to stay in an independent hotel with some history and friendly staff. The property needs a little TLC but this was our second stay and would definitely stay again. Location to city centre is great.

The elevator needs to be fixed. We didn't like walking up three flights of stairs with luggage.. A lot of older clients mentioned the same issue.
