10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and comfortable and very accessible to Bute Park, restaurants, cafes and the city centre. The owners were super helpful and looked after me very well. I really enjoyed my stay and would stay here again if ever I was in Cardiff.
Joanne, 1-night trip

Highly recommended a stay

Absolutely fantastic stay, sparkling clean and spacious room, stayed in the coach house, well maintained and comfy room. Had food in restaurant and Alfredo was a gracious host. All staff very friendly and looked after me being on my own. Will definitely be staying again and going to visit restaurant.

8/10 Very good

The Inn is quaint, clean and the restaurant downstairs is a nice bonus. Parking was a challenge. It's a busy area and nearby street parking was not available. Pay parking is a 7 minute walk away and costs 25£ for overnight. Something to keep in mind if you are driving.

Staff were very friendly for the short time I saw them. Room was spacious and clean. Only 15 minutes walk to the city center, would definitely stay here again

Gary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Small hotel above an Italian restaurant. lovely room, very friendly and helpful staff and brilliant location for Sophia Gardens. Only drawback was that the walls seemed a bit thin and you could hear what was going on above you and especially downstairs in the restaurant when they were moving tables in the morning. Would highly recommend though.

LUUVLY HIDDEN GEM

WONDERFUL PLACE, VERY FRIENDLY HAPPY STAFF, CLEAN MODERN & CONTEMPORARY ATTENTION TO DETAIL RESTAURANT & ROOMS. NOSTAGIC ITALIAN. A mini fridge in room would’ve been perfect.
ADRIAN, 1-night trip

Really friendly. It was a nice, clean room with very comfortable beds. It's a shame they don't offer a breakfast option. Would recommend and stay here again.

A really lovely independent option

This is a great family run Italian restaurant with some very comfortable rooms above this. The food and staff were lovely and it was a good distance from the city centre.

Beautiful hotel above posh Italian Restaurant

I was greeted and given a glass of water whilst waiting - as I had walked from the train station with a suitcase. I was then shown up to my room and the host explained clearly about how to use the key/key fob and what time I would need to use the key for the front door when they close it at night. The carpets are beautifully deep and nice to walk on and the hotel has only just been decorated so everything is new. The en-suite bathroom is beautiful and the shower works well. I am pleased with my stay. If I come here again I may use the Italian Restaurant downstairs!
Suzanne, 1-night trip

The room was okay, but the Italian food was to die for. Best seafood pasta Ive had in a long time.

4/10 Fair

Good location and nice staff. Sadly for us though the mattress and pillows were so uncomfortable, the noice from the street was non-stop all night and the room was very cold. We did not have a good night sleep!

6/10 Good

Room was in coaching house to rear of property which was nice and quiet but shower and bathroom arrangements were odd. Room was cold and had to ask for heating to be turned on.
