Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral of St David

A nice clean hotel with large rooms. My only complaints would be the £10 charge to use the swimming pool (yes, it included the sauna and steam room but I only wanted to swim). Also the reception desk was not staffed when we tried to check out just after 0800hrs on the Sunday morning.

The hotel could be amazing but unfortunately it is now dated and needs to be refurbished. The standard twin room does not have an overhead shower and the room was dated and shabby. There was no bottled water as stated either. The room was also very hot and they do not provide fans as standard. The pool is lovely but does need a little TLC and the showers in the changing rooms are extremely hot. As is the general temperature of the changing rooms. There was an issue with scolding hot water from both taps in the sink and staff did sort this fairly quickly. I would not the hot temperature water in the rooms is very hot and should have a warning note. Also you are on a busy fast road, which is audible and tricky to pull onto. The staff were lovely and very helpful.

We find this hotel to be friendly efficient with staff that are genuinely helpful and keen to provide a good service. For us it is ideal position to meet with friends and family. Will be booking again.
