Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff
The hotel is modern and very clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. However the rooms are tiny and feel like you’re in a box. The beds are small and uncomfortable and any noise at all travels between rooms meanings very poor sleep. On a more positive the location is fantastic.
