Nice clean hotel, beds are small. Requested a travel cot for baby was given one that had uneven wooden slats as a base. Asked Maria at reception for a mattress for travel cot not given it, therefore baby had to sleep in bed with us. Uncomfortable 2 nights sleep.

Lifts can be annoying as you feel like you are waiting forever and when the doors open it full, this goes on and on in the mornings and it irritated the life out of me. Also the shower, it was just fixed and unable to remove it from the wall, hence not being able to rinse soap off with ease.. Staff were lovely Breakfast was good but no fried eggs!

Had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Clayton. Staff were great and helpful. Deluxe room was clean and beds very comfortable! Excellent breakfast with lots of choice. Close to shopping centre and lots of places to eat nearby! No parking but Cardiff train station car park is a 2 min walk away and very reasonable compared to other car parks in Cardiff! Will definitely stay again!
