Really great location. Room really clean, but very tired. Shared bathrooms were fine and clean. Crazy hot in the loft room, had a fan but the stand was all broken. There is NO on street parking as suggested. Nearby parking is way, way more than the 11.50 mentioned. I parked a mile away on a street with no restrictions as we were there for two days parking would have been about £60. If game at millennium stadium nearby parking closes too.

"Extremely old fashioned room with no lock on the inside of the door. I felt incredibly unsafe. I moved a chair in front of the door so that I could sleep. Room was very hot but a fan was left on. However, with the pubs below the window it was extremely noisy until very late and I was unable to reach ..."
