I recently spent a weekend (Friday and Saturday nights) at the hotel as my daughter was playing netball in the U19 development squad in the Netball Europe U21 Championships. The hotel was conveniently situated to get to the Sport Wales National Centre each day at Sophia Gardens - not too far out of town but far enough away to ensure... More

We stayed as part of a coach group and were well-treated with courtesy and consideration. Excellent rooms, spacious and clean. Single travellers were treated equally with those travelling in pairs. Staff were very helpful and the restaurant staff were very accommodating. The hotel is convenient for Cardiff Castle, the city and its shopping facilities; the newly developed Cardiff Bay and...

The staff here deserve an excellent rating for helpfulness and patience! They couldn't have been friendlier or more supportive with advice on how to get around the area. If you are interested in walking there is a lovely village close by and the forest trails around Castle Coch to explore. There is also a frequent, handy bus that stops in... More

Excellent value and can only echo other comments from our party. We had anissue with our room in that previous guest had smoked in room. (Sensitive noses!). Reception simply changed room with no fuss and checked with us all was well. Food was really good in particular English Breakfast. A real friendly feel to the hotel and staff really cared.

Had to spread the word about this hotel! I've just taken a 37-strong choir on a package tour to Cardiff, staying at the Legacy.

we needed to stay in Glamorgan because of a family emergency, thus we booked this room the night before we stayed.
