I extended for a late checkout, since it’s the night after concert. So I went back to bed after breakfast, and DONG!!! Fire alarm! VERY LOUD that every sleepy soul would wake up frustratingly. Turns out it’s just a test? And the reception said it’s the policy to do every Monday 10am? But that time was 11.30! Anyway if they have planned for it they should tell guest upfront so I don’t have to wake up panicly and rushed out to the fire exit, needed to go to the reception to restore the keycard cause everything will be reset after the alarm(as they told me). This is ridiculously unacceptable. It’s overpriced too but this subject is known and accepted since it’s the concert night.
Great location for us, just a short taxi ride into the city where we watched a gig at the Utilita.
The breakfast was really good with a great selection of cooked, pastries and fruit to choose from.
The only downside- we were staying during the heat wave and there is no air conditioning in the rooms. A fan was provided, but did little to help cool the room down.
Overall, everywhere was clean and tidy and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful.
Had a lovely stay here, hotel was closer to many thing for you to walk around 10min. Services from staff was good. Breakfast was alright and not too fancy. You can also access the pool and other facilities. Bed was okay and comfortable only downside is that they can only change the sheets after 3days not every day when room service does their day rounds. Overall I will definitely recommend. Will definitely visit again.
The apartment is very clean and convenient. Walking distance to the nearby supermarket and restaurants. It’s only 3 minutes drive to the University of Cardiff.
