“In my opinion, this hotel presents a mixed experience for families, as some rooms feel dated and in need of refurbishment, though the indoor pool and convenient city-center location provide undeniable appeal, plus children eat free at breakfast. I noticed reports of inconsistent service and room amenities; still, its potential as a budget-friendly base for exploring Cardiff remains notable.”
