GW2134 Couples - TripAdvisor review

We stayed here and specifically booked a room with air conditioning as it was a very hot weekend and paid £255 for one night. The staff were lovely and the pool was nice but I was slightly disappointed with the room. It was smaller than I was expecting. The biggest disappointment was that the air conditioning in the room was poor - you couldn’t even feel it so the the room was very hot.

Falsely advertised

I stayed in the Superior room over the standard room, as the Standard room stated 'no Air Cooling available'. As it was during a heatwave I paid more for the Superior Room as it didn't mention anything about Air Cooling. When I arrived I was pleased to find there was an AC unit, however it disappointingly didn't put out any cold air. The reception staff were unable to provide any portable AC units or fans either. Considering just under £300 was paid for this room, it was disappointing to have been unable to sleep in it very well. Whilst I appreciate the heat outside is uncontrollable, no measures have been taken by the hotel to keep the guests cool.

Very Disappointing

Martinjj TripAdvisor review

We have stayed here regularly over the last few years although this was our first visit since Covid and something seems to have changed and the hotel is certainly not as good as it used to be. The air conditioning in the room doesn’t work and it seems to be an issue throughout the hotel. The shower had a mind of its own and the temperatures seemed to go up and down by itself irrespective of where the temperature was set. Carpets where very dirty. Cigarette burns on the curtains. No phones in the room anymore, just a WhatsApp number for issues. Breakfast no longer in the large room and you have to book your time in the bar area for breakfast. Half the car park coned off including the electric charging points for EV’s. So whilst the the hotel is still ideally placed for Cardiff city centre, given the high prices they continue to charge, it’s just not worth it. Stay elsewhere.

Great location

We stayed here for 2 nights for an event at the Motorpoint arena. The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from both the arena and the main shopping district, and about 30 minutes walk from Cardiff Bay. The hotel itself was clean and well maintained. The reception team were welcoming and helpful, and Marcus made you feel at home straight away. The pool is a good size and fitness facilities are clean & well maintained. The restaurant was bright, airy and relaxing. The food was delicious, fresh, reasonably priced and arrived quickly. The breakfast offered was plentiful and varied. With Sabrina on duty to ensure nothing ran out and that the children could reach everything they needed. Lily was very welcoming and put us at ease immediately. Lit was the perfect host, he made sure we had enough of everything and brought small little extras to the table much to the delight of the children. He even preempted us needing to fill our water bottles and filled them with ice cold water without being asked. All the staff we interacted with were fantastic at what they do and really made our trip more enjoyable. A very big thank to them all especially Marcus & Lit.
