Room 6 - The room itself was great. The mattress was too soft and rocked side to side when either of us turned in our sleep. It was July and the room was hot, sun was out in Wales! A fan was provided although a large industrial one with 3 speeds, loud, louder and helicopter! Couldn’t have it on whilst sleeping. I have stayed here before and will again as it’s convenient for me. Hopefully not room 6 though

The room was amazing spacious and clean to a high standard. My only issue was we paid for a sea view but had a call to say someone had booked 2 mins before myself and the sea view room had been taken. No offer of a refunded as we paid extra for the sea view that we didn’t get.

It was an attractive, spacious, quiet, well-situated and well maintained property. Minor point, but it would have benefitted from some kind of table/shelf/flat surface in the bathroom to put one's washbag etc on.

Relaxed one night stay

The hotel had a nice relaxed feel. The room was very comfortable and well stocked and the bathroom was excellent. We were in room 6 with nice views over Penarth pier. The restaurants and bars below did not disturb us at all as they closed by 11. The room was on the warm side but that is our only criticism

Really lovely hotel

The hotel is ideally placed right opposite the pier at Penarth.. it is really close to a number of cafes and restaurants. It was spotlessly clean and efficient. Service was great. Only one small niggle which is that the blackout blinds in our room were set outside the window so it was pretty much daylight from 4am :) a small gripe that didn't take anything from our stay and this is a place we would use again.

The room was good, clean, and had a nice view. But the place was supposed to be a hotel but there was no reception, you couldn’t see how to get in, and the person who met us didn’t identify himself, and tried to say, as we waited in the dark outside, that we had to do some online check-in before we could have the room. The place was owned by some corporation with a standard online check-in form which requires a scan of photo ID among other things, and assumed guests have 24/7 internet access on their phones. Bad start marred our stay.

Fairly decent but I wouldn’t stay again

My room was generally good but contained a lot of little irritating things (stiflingly warm rooms; dripping shower head; kettle doesn’t fit under the sink; door fiddly to lock). However I wouldn’t stay again for the simple reason my room was at the rear of the hotel, which is brightly lit with wall lights facing into the rooms and the curtains don’t block out the light.
The room at 1pm. Photo taken without the flash.

The Hotel was comfortable, cobwebs in bathroom but relatively clean otherwise. I paid in advance of my stay. However the hotel took the money again £140 from my account. They have told me they have refunded but this will take a couple of days. They advised they will not be compensating me at all for this inconvenience, hence the poor customer service score.

I had booked a sea view room, after being there previously in a courtyard facing room. Unfortunately they had booked us into a rear facing room which seemed to be for wheelchair access as the basin was very low an only a wet room type shower, when I rang to tell them (there is no one there just self check in ) they weren’t very helpful and said that Expedia had made the mistake and nothing they could do, I am still try to get a partial refund but not successful so far.

Wedding and birthday wknd

Beautiful room, stunning view and perfect location. One huge issue… the heat! The windows open approximately 2inches.. with no air con this made it unbearable to be in the room. A fan is provided in the room but when on you feel like you should have airline ground staff level ear defenders on. Friends were staying in one of the courtyard rooms and their windows opened but had an open extra unit of safety glass. This provided air circulation and security. Unsure as to why not done in the front rooms. With the heat of the room it would have been nice if more bottled water was provided.. am sure we are not the first to bring up this issue.

Self check in was easy and our room was great with views straight onto the sea. The sound of the sea lapping against the walls was lovely. It is a pity that there is no reception where someone is available should they be needed. We stayed here before when there was a reception and although we didn’t necessarily need anything it was nice to know that the building was manned. Security was ok but the front gate was constantly left open and the door through to the hotel was also open. I was a little concerned about being asked for a refundable deposit for a hotel stay as I’ve never had to do that before; we’re not in the habit of trashing our room. The curtain was coming off the rail so I reported this and was asked to provide a photo of it - I was concerned we would be charged for something we hadn’t done. We met two of the ladies from housekeeping who were both very nice. A special mention to the Welsh lady, I’m only sorry that we didn’t get her name, she was very helpful.

The room was very nice - no complaints at all on that score, and the location on Penarth beach is great. The disappointment was that I thought I'd booked a "deluxe" room with sea view - the sole point of booking this facility - but that turned out not to be the case. We were located at the rear of the building, with no view of the sea at all. I found the check-in procedure a bit frustrating. There is a two-step process. First, you have to complete a registration form, but I received nothing and had to contact the company. Then, when registration is complete, they are meant to send you check-in instructions straight away. Again, this did not happen and I had to go out of my way to ask. So, not ideal. The room does not appear to have air-con, which was fine on a cool Friday evening, but would not have been if it had been warm.
