Could not fault our stay. Friendly team, incredible location, discounted parking and clean rooms. Buffet breakfast was fresh and good choice which was an unexpected bonus. Location - attending the Eras Tour we found a room here at the last minute (a week before the show) which we were so shocked by! The best thing is the hotel did NOT inflate their prices like all the other hotels and air bnb's which was such a refreshing thing to see! Thank you RHC! We bagged a cute little room with breakfast at a steal. The best bit, it was 5 minutes walk from the stadium! Could it get any better than that! Parking was also only 5 minutes walk away in the NCP at only £15 / day it was a steal. We parked up on the Monday and left the car in a safe location for our stay. No queuing to get in and out of Cardiff, no stress and just 5 minutes from the stadium this hotel is a little gem! Staff and management were brilliant, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and there was always someone on hand to help. Breakfast was so fully staffed with fresh food being delivered to the buffet all the time meaning breakfast did not sit around for hours waiting to be eaten (10/10 team! ) Having found this hotel was the icing on the cake to an incredible Eras Event and experience. I cannot thank the team enough. Excellent Cardiff location, it will be our go to now for sure!

The perfect hotel! We stayed for the Taylor Swift concert, staff so friendly and accomadating allowing us to leave luggage, even access the room slightly earlier than the check in time. Great room, everything you need. Most importantly a comfy bed! Great selection at breakfast. The night stay was quite a bit but you get what you pay for! The service being amazing, a clean, safe hotel and a stone throw from the concert made it well worth it!

“Location is convenient that would be my only positive . service , food and over priced rooms was not great”

We googled places to stay in Cardiff for Pink, this hotel Was the closest to the stadium and the train station , it wasn’t cheap but the location was first class. First impressions were a beautiful, old Building steeped with history , the front entrance wasn’t the most appealing , infact it wasn’t anything like we expected from looking at pictures a dark , dirty stair welll with , a stair case of 50 steps ,we chose to take the climb instead of the lift that looked a bit antiquated . There was no mention either of it being above a really lively Irish bar , not that it worried us as we’re going out but it was loud . In reaching the reception the staff were polite and helpful, the reception was plush and clean. We used the lift to get to our room on level 4, the room was basic , and cold , we put the heating on immediately. The coffee and tea were in the wardrobe as was the Kettle, very strange . The bed was rock hard and quite uncomfortable , we knew we would Pay more on a concert. Night. But on googling the room we had was almost £200 cheaper any other evening . Leaving the stadium Amongst thousands of people , the walk to the hotel was about 5 minutes , fantastic and Convenient . Breakfast … where do I start … we arrived at 930 , breakfast is until 1030. There were 8 other people in the restaurant when we arrived , a few which left within minutes , one young lady was attentive and helpful , I asked her if we could have four poached eggs with breakfast and was told they were too busy , something I chuckled at as half the place was empty , The breakfast buffet was mainly empty , I asked if they were refilling it and was sharply told by a male staff member they were “Doing it “ The plate warmer only had a few plates and they were stone cold , the warmer wasn’t. Even On We got some toast , I had brown because my hubby had the last two slices of white bread , They bought out a huge paella type pan with three fried eggs in it, the couple Before us had them , so we took our toast and went and sat down to wait for more eggs , eventually they bought out three more …. Three all broken , they went to another couple who Was waiting , they then bought out a few musrooms after I asked and I asked if sausages would be coming out soon. All in a a it 15 minutes so far , They bought out 3 more eggs , which quite frankly was farcical in the huge pan and again they were all broken , it was a joke . There were 3 bits of bacon so me and hubby shared those , at 1020 they bought out a whole tray of bacon . But that time we were leaving anyway the coffee was cold , even out of the machine and in all Honestly Premier inn across the road or Wetherspoons would Have had a far superior breakfast I would recommend this for location only , we Certainly would Only Go back if it was our last option
