cheap, cheerful and above average

This hotel was cheap, cheerful and above average for a budget hotel. The reception was modern, the rooms were a bit sparse, the bed was fine, the place was clean. The bar was ok with a small selection of drinks and the food looked ok. We would stay here again. A bonus was it was in walking distance to all the major attractions of Cardiff downtown area.

Don’t stay here

The hotel was probably the most unfriendly hotel I’ve ever stayed in , the reception team look at you like something f the cat has dragged in when you approach. There’s absolutely zero friendly welcome . The hotel room we were given was not cleaned as there was a used sandwich box on the floor and the bathroom smelt of wee. The room is tatty , tired , old and dingy. We usually stay at the premier inn and we would definitely not choose this hotel again , the only good thing about it is the location.

Not impressed

To begin with the traffic around Cardiff is an absolute nightmare which made trying to find car parking impossible. We found our way to the rear of the hotel where there is short stay parking on the road so I walked back to the hotel to ask about alternative parking and was met with indifference. There is a justpark at the rear of the hotel but it has to be pre-booked which is my recommendation as it's only£14 a day compared to the £26 I had to pay for NCP parking. Our room was small but adequate for a one night stay although the bathroom didn't seem to have been cleaned properly and stank of sewage ( sink u bend full of gunk maybe). It's in a great location but that is about all it has going for it.
