The hotel is old and very cooky. The decor is random and old fashioned. It has wonderfully narrow corridors and massively high ceilings. The hotel is far from modern but it's absolutely charming and I loved it. The staff were wonderful and the location was great. Would stay again.
Opposite Penarth railway station, this stylish hotel is a 4-minute walk from Alexandra Park and 3.9 miles from the Millennium Stadium.
