Nice hotel and I'd stay again.
Hotel appearance is good, reception staff very nice and friendly. Our room and bathroom was clean and the bed very comfortable. I had an excellent sleep. The colours it's decorated in were nice and love the Welsh red theme. Only thing I'd like to point out is the double bed was two singles pushed together and his mattress was higher than mine.

Past its sell by date
Poor Check in Experience as we weren't allowed an early check in unless we paid £20. Numerous unfavorable characters in reception at times. Also no bar open despite flyers around suggesting coffee and cake available from 11am.
Only positive was a pleasant afternoon tea that the restaurant offered.

Check-in staff and check-out staff were absolutely wonderful. Room was reasonable, carpet made it look slightly dated but still clean. The bed and covers were comfortable and clean. This is the second time I’ve stayed and will stay again.

Very basic Hotel. No lock on bathroom door considering sold as a twin room. Shower on 7th floor cold and not much pressure. Breakfast not the best for the £ I paid

The property was in a great central location. The room was a good size, bed fairly comfortable (clean). The staff were very friendly but my only complaint was that the furniture was very worn and shabby, the carpets, curtains and walls had spots/stains on them. Too bad as the lobby and hotel surround looked fine.

We were not happy with the room we were allocated on the 6th floor… it was dated and shabby. I asked reception if we could have an alternative and they moved us to the 2nd floor to a much nicer room with a lovely bed, decent carpet and furniture

Hotel is very dated. Carpets are very very worn out.
It’s like I walked back into the 1970’s .
Bed was comfy, slept like a baby.
Staff very nice and welcoming.
