Nothing for what I paid very poor value when I told reception about the works they offered me another room i asked for a discount but was told most people on a Monday checked in after 5pm so the builders would be gone?

“The atmosphere was friendly and courteous, but, I would have expected a bit more.”

눉1. There could have been a poster placed where the A4232 meets the roundabout meet to direct people to the hotel which is sheltered behind trees. 2. The Elevators could have the words " Ground Floor " placed opposite the N0. 2 . 3. As a 4 star hotel, there should be a Safe in the bedroom for residents to store their valuables / passport. 4. The bathroom /toilet should have a bowl and brush to enable residents to clean the toilet bowl if it is soiled, and finally, the gadget holding the washbowl should operate properly in containing the water .
눇the courtesy of the staff.

“Comfortable stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Club Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Breakfast choices were very good but not happy about cleanliness. The serving spoons get mixed up and dirty. They need to be changed for clean ones more often. The restaurant was closed Sunday night because they had some coach parties, so other guests had to eat in the bar area. The choices on the bar menu were more restrictive and we had been looking forward to our last meal in the restaurant. Not enough staff to cope with the extra influx and we were all kept waiting for a long time, and we had to clean our own table. I do feel that they could have cornered off an area in the restaurant for the other guests and still offered them a full menu. There should also have been extra staff employed to cope with the extra guests.
눇Booked a club room. Nice view of the lake, comfortable bed and spacious room. Fridge , dressing gowns and slippers provided. Seating area. Enjoyed the restaurant in the evening, good food and gluten free choices. Plenty of choices at breakfast.

Passable
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The décor in the rooms is very dated. I particularly hated the shower. It is a fixed head over a bathtub with a shower curtain. A fixed head shower means it is very difficult NOT to get your hair wet. The temperature and pressure however were both good. The food was poor. We had the Mezze sharing plate. The hummus tasted watery, and we couldn't identify the other dips, but they were mediocre. The toast was horrible. I considered the price to be ridiculous for what was presented. The main courses were a little better, but the shoulder of lamb was odd.
눇The bed was wonderful and the room was spacious. The bathroom was spacious. The room was well thought out and there was a little nook equipped with hairdryer and mirror, so great for doing make up etc.

“Convenient and comfortable hotel within easy reach of Cardiff.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉When trying to relax and have a quiet drink in the lounge we were constantly aware of the television screens and the enthusiasm of those watching the football whenever any side scored. It would have been better to have an area set aside for those wishing to watch the TV - there are plenty of options in such a large hotel.
눇Good location for visiting Cardiff and the surrounding area. Parking was easy and plentiful. Reception staff welcoming and very helpful. Our room was comfortable.

눉Think it was nice but was quite expensive. Breakfast was not included in the price and was £13 to buy- a bit to pricey I think compared to other hotels we have stayed at.
눇Hotel was nice, big comfortable rooms-clean with lovely big bed. Nice , gym and small pool. Well situated. Able to get bus right outside to take into Cardiff centre so didnt have to drive.

눉Decor is dated. Grout and sealant in bathrooms has started to go black in parts. Wi-fi is flakey and drops out/becomes very slow on occasion- you couldn’t stream a movie all the way through without pauses and quality drop out. TV distribution system is poor with frequent loss of picture and low picture quality - no TV guide. Food is unadventurous and adequate but not really 4 star. Staff are polite but not welcoming. A hotel in need of refurbishment and a manager to give it some Mojo.

눉Very disappointed with our room, scaffolding and planks across the window and a continual "hum" all night. You certainly don't expect that when you pay £150 just for the room!! We complained at reception which took 20 mins; to resolve and then a 25% discount.
