The charm of old Cardiff...

Liked: A lot of charm of the past. Complimentary bottle of wine. Excellent English Breakfast
Disliked: No gym. The elevator system is weird but workable. You have to basically take 2 elevators to get from ground floor to your room.

Great location for Cardiff

Liked: Great location right near the train station. Luggage storage before check-in was helpful. Friendly staff.
Disliked: Cups in the bathroom had clearly been used before - one was yellow (and should have been clear). Not a fan when showers don’t have a shelf to put your own toiletries on.
