Stayed here for one night and picked The Town House due to location and convenience to the centre of Cardiff. The owners and staff were so friendly. Room was perfect, great to get tea/coffee facilities in the room. There was plenty of choice for breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed here for two nights and chose the hotel for the excellent location. The room was a reasonable size although the decoration did remind us of our grandmothers bedroom and furniture was somewhat dated. The bathroom was adequate however the shower was ridiculously small, no room to put any toiletries and no room to turn round. Everything was clean,... More

We chose to stay at the Town House after reading the good reviews. But it was a big disappointment. Our room was just adequate, the bed was uncomfortable and the bedding was a disgrace, old blankets and hard pillows. And if you are more than 5ft 11 don't even think of fitting into the shower cubicle. But if you must,... More

In response to your review, we are both surprised and disappointed to read your comments. We feel that during your stay of 4 days in total, you were given plenty of opportunity to speak with either a member of staff or ourselves directly to express any complaints you may have had. You were asked on a daily basis if everything... More

Really friendly place to stay if your in Cardiff. Rooms have everything you need . I booked a single at the last minute and was upgraded to a twin room with more space on arrival. The bed is a bit too hard for my liking and the shower a shade too small which is why I didn't give a 5.... More

If you are looking for something quaintly different, spotlessly clean, ellegantly furbished, not too expensive and a short walk from Cardiff City Centre, try The Town House. It is a beautiful Victorian house that has been sympathetically furnished to recreate an elegant taste of the period. They even have a lovely young Indian waitress which is reminiscent of the days...

The town house is a 15min casual walk from railway station, shopping area, and millenium stadium. The hotel room I had was clean and tidy, breakfast was good. The owner and staff were very helpful. There a few bars near to hotel but mostly located in town and can be pricey.

Had a lovely one night stay at the Town House. Room was very comfortable, homely and clean. Even though are room was located on the front it was very quiet. Owner Charles was friendly and welcoming and our waitress was attentive and polite. Excellent breakfast with a good veggie option. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed here several times when we have been visiting our daughter. Rooms are clean, comfortable and pleasantly furnished. Good breakfast sitting around one large table with others, so opportunity for speaking to fellow travellers if you wish! Public rooms are also well maintained and nicely furnished. Backs onto County Cricket ground, close to the river side and an... More

Good location and lovely house from the front (as are the majority of houses on Cathedral Road). On arrival rang the bell and waited quite a while for the door to be answered. Met by a quiet teenage lad who didn't introduce himself but I presume was the son and was shown to my room. He also gave me the... More
