Couldn’t fault it. Except very noisy people in the room next door which spoilt it. But great value in a very central area ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Miranda 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The pods were good, the bathroom was clean & shower good, both felt new. The keypad to get in the building was temperamental & took many attempts to get in each time, whereas the room one was good. The entrance & stairs looked rundown, which was the opposite of the room. Really good value & free overnight street parking round the corner. No facilities on site but, suited my purpose this time as i was out all the time. ##### Miranda Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nehniah 23 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was one of the worst places I’ve ever been. I had paid for a double bed room, I was greeted with a bunk bed as the option for sleeping. As soon as I walked into the room, I could smell urine, the overall cleanliness of the room was terrible. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/45248E9C77F837D6BD5E9442F5C969CBF047EFAE1729685185703.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nehniah Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Thomas 24 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The power to the lights went out so tried to contact them with the numbers provided but no luck. The shower was Luke warm. And we had to use our phone torches to shower. ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jono 21 Mar 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fire alarm call point pressed Fire alarm was set off at 6am and couldn’t get hold of anyone to sort it, messaged the emergency contact number and rang the out of hours helpline but still no one came to deal with it. Left hostel at 7am with fire alarm still going off ##### Jono Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Paul 1 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Poor check in We couldn’t get in the hotel. Door was locked with key code. Code not given. Called support they gave me a mobile number to ring. No one answered after multiple calls. Sent them WhatsApp message no answer I’d like a full refund as I had to go to a different hotel. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ronald 30 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities No information about how to access the building. There's no desk attendant or any staff there and the phone number given the choir that I call Expedia to get verification that I have a confirmation. I was outside on a cold rainy night trying to make phone calls to get in. ##### Ronald Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jay 15 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jay Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lewis 2 Dec 2024 Disliked: Staff & service ##### Lewis Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mercure Swansea Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Mercure-Swansea-Hotel.h22064.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Cardiff.h876498.Hotel-Information) > > [easyHotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-EasyHotel-Cardiff.h60826545.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Swansea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Ibis-Swansea.h1094433.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Four-Points-Flex-By-Sheraton-Cardiff.h2256209.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) > > [Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holland-House-Hotel-Cardiff-By-Sunday.h1000753.Hotel-Information) > > [The Estuary Bar and Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-The-Estuary-A-Bar-And-Rooms.h39427234.Hotel-Information) > > [The Priory Hotel and Restaurant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Priory-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h17828361.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Swansea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Swansea.h1573880.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) > > [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) > > [The Parkgate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Parkgate-Hotel.h66262736.Hotel-Information) > > [Snow White's House - Farm Park Stay with Hot Tub, BBQ & Fire Pit](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Snow-White-Cottage.h70312273.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Cardiff.h18575463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Cardiff North Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Mercure-Cardiff-North-Hotel.h20256.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) > > [Park Plaza Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Cardiff.h1240563.Hotel-Information) > > [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) > > [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) > > [Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Coldra-Court-Hotel-By-Celtic-Manor.h542557.Hotel-Information)
