The A/c was not working at all and kids were struggling to breathe the whole night. They could not sleep at all. The staffs were so rude and never bothered to solve the problem despite telling them repeatedly. Will not recommend ever

It's ironic that this hotel is named 'Futures Inn' becuase it's one of the most dated I've stayed in. It has a grotty appearance, the carpets are tatty and corridors and rooms wreak of odour.

Nice hotel for visiting Cardiff with a car. Location is good, try easy to get to Cardiff bay where you can find all restaurants and cafes. The building site next door is a bit noisy.
