A very nice family run hotel in Cardiff. Staff were excellent, very accomodating. Good size room/bathroom offering bathtub/shower, complimentary coffee/tea/biscuits also provided. Beds very comfortable. Excellent location, right in the centre of Cardiff, 20 min walk to Cardiff Bay which is recommended, a lovely area. Would definately return if we find ourselves in Cardiff!!!
