“I was impressed by this hotel's commitment to blending luxury with local Welsh elements, particularly in its dining. The central location is a major plus, placing guests within easy reach of Cardiff's main attractions, though some may find the bar's public access less exclusive than expected. With its award-winning spa, the hotel aims for a high standard, though I noted that some facilities require extra fees.”
