The hotel is wonderfully located right opposite Cardiff Castle, at the heart of the capital, surrounded by numerous dining options. The rooms are well-equipped, offering all necessities and a big Wales game on Saturdays, along with beneficial extras. However, the dining experience, with tepid to cold 'hot' food, could be improved. The service is top-notch with a dedicated staff member always available. The facilities are great, although not included in the price.
