“This hotel places you squarely in Cardiff's shopping and entertainment district, a short walk from the train station and key attractions, though some weekend noise is to be expected. Rooms are themed with Welsh motifs, extend to rainfall showers and the rooftop bar offers panoramic city views. A sewage smell in the bathroom was resolved by a quick room change, highlighting the staff's attentiveness.”
