5.0 star ratingYou could not get closer to the city centreThe hotel room and bedding was very clean but the curtains and walls had stains01 October 2012
1.5 star ratingThe sheets were cleanThe floor had a massive stain, the curtains smelt and the bathroom wasn't particularly clean. The 'continental breakfast' was a box of cereal and a piece of toast with no jam or butter. The orange juice was boxed, concentrated stuff and tasted like orange skin. I paid £45 for the room, which i had gone to travel lodge and paid less. Also a check out time of 10:30am is pathetic, all other hotels i've ever stayed in give you until noon. Parking facilities were also useless, And i have happened to learn people not from the hotel were parking there and I had to go and pay £10 for overnight stay at st.davids. Overall Very disappointed, I firmly recommend paying slightly more for a better hotel. I will NOT be staying there again.Olipeeeee18 February 2013

3.5 star ratingBeds were comfortable and staff pleasant and helpfulLack of hairdryer, also walls were dirty and the picture in the room had been damaged with lipstick etc (should have taken down). Mirror needed over dressing table and bath mat should be supplied as really slippery when in the shower.21 May 2013

5.0 star ratingGreat base for a night or weekend in Cardiff - on past experience I know it can be very expensive to stay there. This certainly ain't the Ritz, but it's clean, comfortable and a damn sight cheaper than most places. Very close to town too. Also has a 24 hour bar which can't be bad!Parking on site is nigh on impossible - however only £12 for a 19 hour stay in the NCP car park at St David's 2 across the road, so not too bad.Cara198112 June 2013
5.0 star ratingthe hotel is basic but clean, in a great location for shopping and concerts with parking onsite and a brilliant price stopped for one night with my wife and 3 year old and have no complaintsgroggers12 June 2013
3.0 star ratingThere is not much i can say the towels where big and soft.The breakfast had plenty of variety.The hotel had no air condition they was a fan that did not work.Went back to reception to complain about the fan and was given a portable fan.There are no windows that you can open so we had very little sleep. Also could not get into room at first because key card did not work properly..eddy6331 July 2013

3.5 star ratingstaff very polite and helpful.Good parking.Excellent breakfast.Paper thin walls and very noisy neighbours until 3.30am.When reported staff reacted immediately but unfortunately the girls in the adjoining room took no notice.We were left unable to sleep most of the night., but for £35 we could not expect much moregeoffllanelli31 October 2013
5.0 star ratingLocation great. Staff vg. Bedroom OK. Breakfast great. Great views from our 7th floor room towards Cardiff bay and beyond. Car parking very cheap though limited in size but managed to get a slot. Also very good view from the breakfast room into Cardiff CIA/MotorPoint Arena. Good security. Hopefully be back soon. Entertainment in the room was good (TV). Bathroom VG. Lumpy mattress (felt like the springs where poking though). Continuous humming noise throughout the night but stopped in the morning! Don't know what it was. jtb07 December 2013
4.5 star ratingThis hotel was very reasonably priced and in a perfect position for cardiff city center and the motorpoint arena. The staff were very nice and always happy to help. And my room was clean. And my room was basic but there wasnt anything missing that I needed. Ok so if you want fancy then dont come here but if you want real value the big sleep is the place!!My pillow was like a piece of cardboard there wasnt really what i would call a pillow but thats all i can complain about. tone01 December 2013
4.0 star ratingCheap and cheerful! Excellent location for Motorpoint arena. You get what you pay for and the room has everything needed for a basic stay with no frills.The curtains are something to be seen! There was also strange smell in our room but as said previously...you get what you pay for and it was very cheap in comparison to most other hotels in Cardiff.01 December 2013
4.5 star ratingExcellent location. Everything you need in the hotel and room. Some people may not like the training running behind the hotel but we couldn't hear the train and the decoration was dated but very clean. Anonymous 30 January 2015
1.5 star ratingBlood in the bath, along with hairs dotted all over the place. Would move me to another room and didnt even reply to my complaint.A.06 June 2015
3.0 star ratingGood location for shopping and barsThe mattress was very thin, weird curtains..looked more like carpets but heyho. Noy Happy02 January 2016
4.5 star ratingValue for money perfect. Hotel is a bit old but the room a big and comfortable. You have everything in the hotel what you will find in other hotels so don't waste your money with Travel Lodge and other hotels go for Big Sleep all you need is a good sleep.Hotel is close to rail way so you can hear the noise some times but is not a big dial. You have to pay for parking like 8£ a day.Anonymous 31 January 2016
