The rooms are lovely and the bathrooms are spacious with bathtubs. The most annoying things is the self check-in, which would also have been fine if they provided the correct information during the booking. You get your code to the front door and the room door in your email when you book. It is also easy to figure out the codes for the other rooms... So don't leave your card key in the key box when you are out for the day. Overall great place and really good location. They just have poor (non existent) check in service which probably doesn't happen all the time!

Not really a hotel any longer, more serviced rooms. When we stayed here a year ago, my impression was bijou and quite luxurious. Not the same feeling now. No staff. Self check-in with keys in fiddly lock boxes by bedroom doors. Feels a bit soulless but cannot beat the location for visiting Cardiff Bay.

Stayed for 3 nights in September 2012 and loved every minute. I had the room with the large private balcony which was quite cozy and had a luxuriously huge bathtub.. The staff was helpful and welcoming and had lots of great suggestions for nearby things to do and places to see. The Bar Cwtch downstairs served excellent meals and drinks and if you go out the back door to the patio, you might recognize a certain blue police box painted on the door! It is in the perfect location as well, right in the thick of the nightlife in Cardiff Bay!

This is a lovely hotel in an amazing location. It is directly across from the millennium theatre and next to a number of restaurants, bars and shops. The beds are very comfortable and the facilities are well decorated. If possible, request a room upstairs, as the downstairs can be noisy in the morning when guests are headed to breakfast.

We went there for our wedding anniversary and tried to leave half way through the night where it was soooo bad. No hot water, table booked for a meal was full of Used glasses. Staff tried to keep us happy by giving us half empty fizz from the wedding party. We ended up moving rooms to try and get hot water which ended up directly above the wedding disco. Worst night ever and they still charged us!!!

Is now RBN very good

Just got back from a long weekend staying in this excellent quaint hotel. Our room was exceptionally clean and the bed extremely comfy. Excellent location with the bars and restaurants at Mermaid Quay only metres away. The vibrant city centre is just a few bus stops or short boat trip away. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Thanks very much, we really enjoyed our stay.

Incredibly convenient location. Sympathetically furnished rooms with character. Friendly and helpful host. Good breakfast. Strongly recommend for anyone visiting Bay area.

Amazing hotel, superb location, great price and lovely people! What more can you ask? We were made SO welcome and the room was beautiful and comfortable. Definitely say here regularly from now on!

Great location, AMAZING staff, and the shower actually fitted me in with NO adjustment! (First time I've ever been excited about the shower). When I come back, I'll definitely be staying here again!

Enjoyed a lovely two nights at the Joyons Boutique Hotel. The owner was most welcoming & helpful. Our room was clean & comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Will certainly return.

Arrived late on Sunday afternoon and received a warm welcome. Loved our room, huge and very comfortable bed with a great view across to the millennium centre. Breakfast was decent, maybe a little dry for my taste but staff were attentive and happy to provide whatever we asked for. I would highly recommend Jolyon's, brilliant location just a few steps from the bars and restaurants of Mermaid Quay.
