Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The room was lovely and spacious, perfect for my husband's wheelchair, although it looked a bit tired. The service was outstanding, with a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us in the room. The location was ideal for exploring Cardiff Bay, with stunning views from the balcony. The dining experience was a mix of excellent choices and a few missing items, and the facilities, especially the spa, were a real treat.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were lovely with a nice view of the bay, and I enjoyed the spa and breakfast. The service was top-notch, especially Brandon and Megan in the restaurant who made us feel so welcome. The location was great, right on the bay, perfect for a special event. The dining experience was delicious and well presented. Although everything was wonderful, there were some issues with black mold forming in the room corners, and the service could have been better.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing. The rooms were magnificent with a beautiful view of the bay, spacious, and nice. However, there was a huge swing in temperature from day time to night. The service was excellent; they advised on ordering in as there were no bar, room service, or restaurant facilities available, but they were very helpful and even offered welcoming drinks on arrival. The location was lovely with a balcony offering spectacular views, but it seemed a bit crowded and inadequately staffed, definitely not a luxury hotel experience. The dining experience had its ups and downs; while some items were inedible and cold, the black pudding and scrambled eggs were exceptional. The facilities were top-notch and provided all necessary amenities.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with a great view and relaxed atmosphere, though it tends to be on the expensive side. The service provided is consistently excellent, with friendly and polite staff who add a touch of humor to their professional service. The location overlooks the bay and is a short walk from the city center, despite needing a bit of sprucing up. The dining experience varies, with some tasty options but also room for improvement. Overall, the hotel has potential with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly service.
The hotel had huge rooms with a great view and very comfortable beds, making for a very enjoyable stay. The SPA facilities were beautiful, overlooking the bay. However, some areas like the carpets and pool ceilings looked tired and need attention.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and clean despite the check-in time hiccup, but they lacked a pleasant atmosphere. The service, while generally friendly, had some hiccups. The location was great for exploring Cardiff Bay, although improvements could be made. The dining options were a hit or miss. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with excellent panoramic views over the Bay from my room. The superior room was nice, and despite the check-in time being an hour earlier, I found it very comfortable with a beautiful view of the bay. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make my parents' birthday special. The location was fantastic, right in Cardiff Bay with lovely staff and plenty of nearby bars and restaurants. The dining experience offered a wide range of choices in a nice setting. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and clean, offering good views. However, the check-in process took longer than expected, which was a bit inconvenient, especially with a baby. The staff went above and beyond for our wedding anniversary, making it extra special with thoughtful touches.
