Location ideal for us as near family in a nice part of Cardiff. Good parking, friendly staff and adjacent to a lovely pub. Excellent messaging too - for instance, very clear on provision of breakfast hampers and pub kitchen closing times.I

This hotel was lovely. I was able to walk to it from the train station, and the super central location meant I could pop out the door and start exploring. The rooms are comfy and tastefully furnished, the staff are incredibly kind, and the included breakfast is top-notch. There are no coffee/tea making facilities in the room but there's a lovely lounge that services the 8 rooms where you can hang and make a beverage!

We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment, it is decorated beautifully and has everything you could need, particularly enjoyed the coffee machine and cold water function in the fridge. We all slept well including my friend who was on the sofa bed. Having access to 2 bathrooms was a nice perk, the shower was amazing! The host was super helpful and very responsive to all my messages, we required an earlier check-in and she managed to arrange this for us no problem and messaged me on the day to inform me when the apartment was ready, and were also given detailed instructions on how to obtain the keys and get to the on-site parking. Would definitely stay here again when returning to Cardiff!

    The unit was very comfortable with great facilities including a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine. It had been updated, was very clean in a great location. The owner was very easy to contact and dealt with a minor issue straight away. He also provided lots of information about what to do/see in the area. Free parking on the street.

    Rear entrance access lift was great for me and location was perfect for the Nothing But Thieves Concert at Cardiff Castle I went to with one of my Sons. The hotel name sounds posh! I got a good deal on the price as a budget room with two single beds which was upgraded to a double round room with a good view of the city!
