Very convenient for the train station and centre of Cardiff. Hotel was very modern and clean. Room was slightly small but plenty big enough for one night. Staff at check in were great. Would definitely use them again.

Majestic Hotel Cardiff
An average stay in a hotel going through a re fit. A fire alarm after 11pm wasn’t helpful and only then did we realise phone in room didn’t work. Not a bad stay but nothing to write home about
