I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, although a bit dull and dated. The location was convenient for walking into town and exploring the city center. The dining experience was fantastic with freshly made, delicious food. However, the lack of an English breakfast was a downside.

I found the hotel to be ideally located, within walking distance of Cardiff city centre, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although a bit tired and in need of better cleanliness. The noise level, especially in the early mornings, was a downside. However, the price was reasonable for what was offered.

The hotel was a mixed experience for me. The rooms were lovely in size with comfortable beds, but the lack of privacy due to the layout was a drawback. The service was satisfactory, and the location was convenient despite being noisy in the mornings. The dining options were decent but lacked variety. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The guest house is in a wonderful area, very close to where we wanted to be, within walking distance of the city. The rooms were small but clean and had everything I needed during my stay, including a kettle with tea/coffee and a hairdryer. The breakfast experience was not included and somewhat lacking, urging us to request a hot breakfast. However, the overall value for money was good for the price paid.

The hotel had a somewhat unpleasant smell reminiscent of a damp public toilet, but the rooms were equipped with excellent facilities and attention to detail, making them quite charming. The small bed was expected but overall, the room looked better than my home with lovely decorations like bedding and flowers.

The guest house offers incredibly spacious, beautiful, and stylish rooms despite facing the road outside. The rooms on the second floor are particularly large, making for a comfortable stay. However, the noise from the early morning can be a drawback, but the ideal location near Sophia Gardens Cricket ground and the city center compensates for it.

The hotel is situated in a convenient location just minutes from the city center with easy access to recommended restaurants by the helpful staff. The rooms, while well-presented and clean, may lack a bit of brightness during hot weather. The surrounding area offers parks and shops within walking distance, making it a great spot to explore Cardiff.

The hotel rooms were stylish and comfortable with plenty of storage space, yet there were some cleanliness issues like a used towel left behind the curtains and an unflushed toilet. The location was perfect for exploring the city center and beyond, with easy access to the SWADEC sports arena. The dining experience offered an excellent choice with a lovely continental breakfast, although some pastries were not fresh. Overall, a stay combining comfort, convenience, and great value.

I couldn't have asked for more from my stay at this B&B. The room was basic but clean, perfect for a good night's sleep. The location was ideal for exploring the city, just a short walk from the Castle and minutes from the city center. The service was top-notch, and the dining options were varied, although I was hoping for a hot breakfast. Overall, a great value for the price.
