The best thing about this hotel is the staff and location (if you want to be close to the Principality anyway). It’s slap bang in the middle of the town centre, and it’s an old ‘traditional’ hotel, so be aware it’s not brand spanking new and deathly quiet… but if you want a friendly hotel, 2 mins walk from the stadium, the castle and the train station, this ticks the boxes… I can thoroughly recommend breakfast at The Welsh House, just up the road towards Cardiff Castle

An easy walk from Cardiff Central railway station. Friendly, helpful staff. Outer security door answered promptly. The room, whilst dated, was clean & functional. Hot water & a decent water pressure in the shower. Tea/coffee facilities in room. Breakfast is no longer available but there were plenty of options in the city centre.

The hotel itself is somewhat dated and in need of a spruce up but the room itself was very clean. The staff were also very warm, welcoming and helpful. No breakfast was served the weekend I stayed but tbere are lots of nearby options available. Would definitely stay again
