Fab location, nicely refurbed bedroom, comfy bed, broken loo seat but management knew about this and was on maintenance lists, access after 12 via outside staircase scared me to bits 🤣 Plenty of parking along cathedral road

Nice pub. Lots of TVs to watch sports and a great pint. Large sheltered garden area to the rear with removable roof.

Bis zur Innenstadt ist es von hier aus ein kurzer Fußmarsch durch den Park. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich und ausreichend. Das Pub ist sehr gemütlich und am Quizabend hatten wir nette Leute mit an unseren Tisch. Essen und Getränke lohnen sich auf jedenfall uns hat es sehr gefallen. (Translated by Google) From here it is a short walk through the park to the city center. The rooms are comfortable and sufficient. The pub is very cozy and we had nice people at our table on the quiz evening. The food and drinks are definitely worth it and we really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed my stay at the Pontcanna. The room was very comfortable and relatively quiet considering it was above the pub. The staff were friendly and helpful for check in. The location was great to get to my meeting at the cricket club and is also just a few minutes walk to good restaurants and sites. I ate in the pub a couple of times and was happy with both meals. I was a bit thrown by the qr code ordering and paying at first but it ended up being very convenient and you always have the option of ordering from the server. I would certainly stay here for any future Cardiff visits.

Our experience was great. We arrived half way through Wales v Ireland in the 6 nations and the place was heaving. The Door men were lovely, calling someone to the front doors to us so we didn't have to try to find someone ourselves. A lovely girl- jen/ gemma it think came to us, took our name got our key and showed us to our room, she explained how to get in and out after midnight as that's when the bar is closed and told us everything we needed. Our room was lovely looked out the front which is great a we love pontcanna, large window seat, really comfy bed and great on suit. We could turn the heating on off so the room was a temp we like and also a fan if it's warm. We slept really well, I even fell asleep just before the bar closed to someone singing oasis..lol The bar is lovely and big, massive bear garden- all staff were lovely and it was a very busy night. I can't fault it at all and we will definitely stay again.

Came for Sunday Lunch. Run out of celeriac puree and my partners beef was cold to the touch. Aside from that, really enjoyed our experience and will be back (but maybe not for food) on a Sunday :-(

The room we had was perfect. We stayed on Saturday night, great atmosphere. We ate in the restaurant and food was nice. Breakfast in the morning was amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend. We are looking to come again and will be booking here.
