The hotel rooms could do with a makeover and are a little overpriced at £45 per person per night with no breakfast included. Despite the need for a good night's sleep, we were separately 'accused' of having someone else coming into our rooms overnight because we were all on the same course and traveling together, but each had our own single rooms. The rooms were freezing, which was not ideal.

The rooms were in need of a makeover and were a bit overpriced with no breakfast included. They were also uncomfortably cold.

The staff, though overworked with a barmaid doubling up as a receptionist, were really friendly and helpful. They were amazing!

The hotel is in need of modernization and toning down, which would improve the restaurant and bar area. It was also very noisy, not ideal for a peaceful stay.

However, there were plenty of dining options in the surrounding area.

The hotel facilities need improvements to match the price paid.

The hotel is located in a social housing area of Penarth, which was modern and clean. Staff were really helpful and happy. The room was small and basic but clean. The dining options were okay but a bit limited. Despite being in a residential area, it was a short drive distance to Cardiff and other beaches.

Through the pub area to get to the party. No onsite restaurant and entry through a back route due to renovations.
