    Not being told our bathroom was adapted for disabled. Room 601 shower cubicle is not very big, i banged my elbow a few times while washing my hair as i was trying to avoid the chair that id scratched my leg on! The drain doesnt drain very well and the extremely load gurgling noise was loud enough to wake my husband. Also the bathroom door has had the inner door lock removed so cant lock it while in there. Why would the second towel be in a wardrobe and not the bathroom? We have been to this hotel a few times but this time was dissapointing!

    Love how spacious the room was. Checking in in advance and card drop off was great, smooth and easy. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows.

    We booked the hotel to have use of a pool but was taken aback as we got told we would have to pay a further £10 each to use the pool each time we would like to use the pool which I think was outrageous

    Room was clean, bathroom lovely view was superb, great choice for breakfast

    Hotel needs upgrading in many common areas. Tv was tiny n old. Inbuilt furniture and doors very shabby n old. Replacement of towels was an ongoing issue. For a 9 nights hotel stay i would have appreciated a fully refurbished room.

    Availability of spa though this should be inclusive in the hotel night price. Separate bath n shower. Large room with seating area.

    Lovely hotel, well maintained, very clean, comfortable, spacious public areas and the room had plenty of space too. We stayed in a triple room and there were three proper beds, space to walk around each one and space to sit and relax. The hotel was calm and quiet too. The staff were helpful, friendly, polite and knowledgeable. It was an easy 10 minute walk into Cardiff centre or a 5 minute taxi ride.I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

    Dirty windows and paying to use pool.

    Would have been 10 out of 10 but the windows were very dirty outside and £10 per person to use the pool is scandalous!

    Why is there a £10 access charge for residents to use the pool? I can understand a charge for non-residents, but residents should not be charged.

    Convenient, clean, comfortable. Large rooms.

    No choice of other milk besides cows milk, also tv was difficult to switch on they should leave a note by tv set with instructions, poor choice of channels.

    The check in plus the appearance of hotel on arrival

    Initial room as stated in previous question. Paying extra for use of Pool facilities. Only one of the 2 elevators were serviceable. Waking up in the morning to the sun shining through the end of the curtain, this could do with a modification to keep it against the wall or tuck behind something.

    Initially we were we were put in a room that was very hot, air conditioning not effective, on arrival the room had a fan and an Air purifier on in the room. These exceeded the acceptance noise rating for for our stay but on questioning them and somewhat raising a complaint we were quickly and effortlessly upgraded to a more acceptable room. The front of house were very accommodating.

    The rooms are either really hot or really cold. The breakfast options are pretty poor. You have to wait for eggs other than scrambled. No hash browns or mushrooms and the veggie sausages take ages so for a vegetarian the options are limited

    Location, spa and value for money. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms
