Cardiff hotel to close to provide accommodation for asylum seekers

A Cardiff hotel is to close to be used to hold people seeking asylum. WalesOnline understands that the Home Office plans to use the hotel to house people applying for asylum within the UK.

An asylum seeker is an immigrant who has been forcibly displaced and might have fled their home country because of war or other factors harming them or their family. They are often vulnerable and targeted by criminal gangs and traffickers.

Photos from inside the hotel show a new menu in several different languages. The hotel is not being named for security reasons.
