The location was perfect for us as it was close to the beautiful Llandaff Cathedral. The hotel facilities were great, with a cozy and homely feel to the rooms. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the staff were friendly and helpful. the transportation was convenient, with a bus stop just across the road.

There was nothing we didn't like.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel just outside of the city centre. The location was perfect, just down the street from Llandaf Cathedral. The hotel facilities were excellent - the room was spacious and clean, with a large bed and a modern ensuite bathroom. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially barman/waiter Steve. They made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The breakfast was delicious, with freshly cooked food and perfect poached eggs.

Everything was fantastic. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The room I stayed in was fantastic, with great facilities including air conditioning, a luxurious bath, and a wonderful shower. The addition of a table and chairs made it perfect for reading, which I really appreciate. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with soft pillows that ensured a good night's sleep. The blackout curtains, along with blinds, made the room even more conducive to rest. The cleanliness of the room and the daily servicing were impeccable. The hotel also provided easy access to on-site free parking throughout my stay. The location was ideal, close to the city center and conveniently located near a bus stop, making transportation a breeze. there were plenty of banks, shops, pubs, restaurants, and scenic walks in the vicinity. Lastly, the breakfast spread was a feast, allowing me to choose my favorite options. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way.

Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.
