Best location, everything within walking distance. ##### Maria B Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Welcoming and professional helpful staff. I've stayed at a couple of premiere inns and this one was by far the best. Not only was the layout really good and facilities not just rescrited to the rooms but overall design spacious. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### All as it should be Nice and centrally located hotel. Room was nice and spacious with Tea and Coffee making facilities, TV and a bathroom with shower. Everything one needs for a stay. Centre of town only 10 Minutes away on foot. Easy and fast check-in and out! ##### Oliver Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great staff assistance! ##### Bryan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was great Central location to town, train station, tv reception wasnt great ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shaun 26 Jan 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cardiff accommodation The place is ideally situated not far from the main streets for shopping, restaurants and pubs. Car parking is easy in the street, £14 for 24hrs. Our room was a nice size with a very comfortable bed, but the only complaint was the awful smell from the shower/toilet as the drains needed a serious clean. ##### Shaun Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony 30 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice little place Brilliant little place to stay, good for just coming and going when you need without the hassle of keys. Parking was ok outside on the road. Very clean and tidy, just no hot water in the sink tap which was weird as you cant wash unless having a shower but overall great place to stay for a cheap short stay. ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 2 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Ideal cost effective layover Perfectly cost-effective option for an overnight stay/layover. You get exactly what you pay for however, the room's could really do with a fabric conditioner so there's no linger smoke smell which was off-putting and the reason why it's not getting full marks. Great central location opposite the stadium ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### CW 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, but weird the facilities Great location, staff are nice. But the hot water is very unstable, never hot enough, even though I have to switch it on 25 minutes prior, which is waste of water. I have requested a king bed, but they have only put 2 twin beds together which is not very comfortable. They charged ￡5 for luggage storage, which usually i have offered dor free in other hotels. ##### CW Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Wayne 10 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place but could do with a little work. Loverly room nice and clean a couple of patches of mold in bathroom but tbh the room is so small and hot with no airflow it is not surprising. Checking in was a bit of fiasco staff really did not like being disturbed but was sorted after they read my checking in email and looking at their records ##### Wayne Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MAN WAI 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel The location of the hotel is amazing, very close the Cardiff central station making it the best place to stay. The room is clean with no complicated check in/check out process. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a1631fa-de80-4ca2-bc65-f03565b821a0-1753737796382.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4e4259ea-ddea-46f3-a6bb-d911c25ead18-1753737795729.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### MAN WAI Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicolai 30 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Nicolai Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 27 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wisestay is close to the city centre, it's a 5 minute walk. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room was clean and tidy. Great for a weekend break. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good quality lodgings. Top-drawer in every way. Pleased to see the microwave and extra hot/cold drink available, too. Well organised room, comfortable although a slightly thicker mattress would be appreciated and detracted from the quality feel. The only down side I faced (and not much the hotel could do about it even if asked) was that when I opened my windows, the smell of weed being smoked by neighbours was pervasive and I had to close the windows on a warm night. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### andre 31 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### andre Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Saige 6 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice, an area slightly out of city centre so may want to head back before it gets too dark, but great for the price. ##### Saige Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ninel 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Amenities Good ##### Ninel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### CAROLE 19 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy check in with code.

It was noisy however - the walls are thin, and much detail of our 'neighbours', both to the side and above could be heard. I would, however book again, and hope it was a little less noisy. ##### Louise Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We stayed as a family of four in the XL bunk bed room. The room was spacious, clean, and the beds were comfy. The room is next to the front door so can be a bit noisy but you expect a certain amount when in a hotel. As per other reviews the walls are a bit thin, but I would stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Geraint 7 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very close to the river taff and Millennium Stadium. Mattress was very hollow ##### Geraint Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rodgers 13 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Could be better Check in was fine. Stated WiFi in my room couldn’t even be found on the search. Water could be heard running through pipes the whole night which made sleeping nearly impossible. ##### Rodgers Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### George 12 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The WiseStays in Cardiff is a brilliant location. Walkable to the town centre and castle. It's also only a 25 mins walk to Cardiff Bay. So if you want to be in heart of town, this is the place. Also the street parking isn't too bad. I was able to find parking every time I needed to but it's not guaranteed. Street parking is paid 3.50 an hour from 8am-6pm Mon to Sat and 10am-6pm Sunday. The accommodation is a basic bed sit. An old terrace house where each room has been made into you sleeping accommodation for the evening. It's old and basic but everything was clean and in working condition. The whole place is practical with nothing fancy. I was impressed with their communication. It was all done via messages. Very proactive and good clear instructions to get in. So it's a good place, just a little old with nothing fancy to mention. ##### George Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson Blu Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Cardiff.h2609745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Angel Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Angel-Hotel.h34843.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cardiff.h4254642.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Cardiff City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Cardiff-City-Centre.h802589.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Cardiff Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Novotel-Cardiff-Centre.h571649.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hilton-Cardiff.h551874.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Cardiff.h68218398.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Cardiff.h1240563.Hotel-Information) > > [easyHotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-EasyHotel-Cardiff.h60826545.Hotel-Information) > > [Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Cwrt-Bleddyn-Hotel-Spa.h486291.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Four-Points-Flex-By-Sheraton-Cardiff.h2256209.Hotel-Information) > > [Lanelay Hall Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Lanelay-Hall-Hotel-Spa.h19385738.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Parkway-Hotel-Spa.h10704.Hotel-Information) > > [Llechwen Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Llechwen-Hall-Hotel.h4035488.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Cardiff.h876498.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Cardiff.h18575463.Hotel-Information) > > [New House Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-New-House-Country-Hotel.h27938.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Cardiff.h200304.Hotel-Information) > > [Future Inns Cardiff Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Future-Inns-Cardiff-Bay.h1160305.Hotel-Information) > > [voco St David's Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Voco-St-Davids-Cardiff.h545633.Hotel-Information) > > [Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Coldra-Court-Hotel-By-Celtic-Manor.h542557.Hotel-Information) > > [The Priory Hotel and Restaurant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Priory-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h17828361.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Cardiff.h1291503.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Cardiff North Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Mercure-Cardiff-North-Hotel.h20256.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Pontypool Metro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Best-Western-Pontypool-Metro-Hotel.h6407832.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardiff Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-Marriott-Hotel.h13776.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Cardiff City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cardiff-City-Centre.h526111.Hotel-Information) > > [Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holland-House-Hotel-Cardiff-By-Sunday.h1000753.Hotel-Information)
