View of castle

Lovely hotel, opposite the castle. Had a lovely view of the castle. Only downside was the lift being out of order during our stay. A fair few stairs to be tackled, but otherwise I would stay again

Dirty & poorly maintained.

In shockingly bad condition. No working elevators, and we were told that they would not be repaired during our stay. The "elevators out of order" signs had the appearance of having been in place for weeks. The bathroom had more mold than a health inspector would/should tolerate. Peeling paint everywhere. And not an apology or sign of apparent embarrassment from the staff.

The sad decline of a once iconic hotel!

The hotel appears very rundown, lifts were out of order so everyone was using the stairs (including some elderly visitors with mobility issues), decor is old and worn and the beds felt cheap and basic. I used to work in the hotel 30 years ago and it is disappointing to see it is such a shabby state!

Needs a refurb

Needs a total refurb! Lifts not working, doors dirty, everywhere needs painting. On the plus side the bedroom was clean (apart from the nets).

This hotel isn't tired, it's exhausted

Hotel looked ok from outside, inside was a different story. Lift not working, room showed its age. Stained carpet and repaired furniture. Window difficult to open. Bathroom shower fixture held together with tape. Steam from the shower caused the fire sensor to activate. Reception called to make sure we were ok. Breakfast buffet was fine, dinner menu was restricted but good. Bar was often unmanned. Staff were friendly. This hotel would require a lot of improvement to bring it to an acceptable level of comfort. Location was good.

Very old building. Lift wasn’t working which didn’t bother me but makes it inaccessible. No aircon and room was warm with no way to open windows, but there was a fan in the room which worked ok.

One night stop over in Cardiff

I'm not sure I'd stay here again. I chose it for it's central location. The hotel has some charm but feels tired and really old fashioned. The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. It's a shame the lift were out of order. The room was ok and had a bath which I welcomed. There was little complementary items in the room. No fridge, bottled water or coffee machine. Basic tea and freeze dry coffee and uht milk cartons. No biscuits. No usb charging points in the room. I didn't sleep well partly owing to bed which wasn't the most comfortable. I would say the this was not value for money at all given how much I paid.
