Carpets were like lino,the wardrobe was a metal rail from a clothes warehouse, one lift was out of order,( we were on the 10th floor ), the shower kept stopping, duvet was as thin as demi moore, room...

We booked two rooms for the RBS Beef Nations and were disappointed. Yes, it is central and the staff pleasant but the attempt at minimalistic decor falls flat when you realise it is an attempt to cheapen the fit-out costs. Thin duvets, thin towels, no wardrobe (just a £5 Ikea rail - no good for a beef-cam), thin carpets and... More

This hotel is very central for the train and bus stations as well as is right in the downtown area. It's not a fancy hotel, by any means. If you're looking for luxury, you will be disappointed. If you're a backpacker or someone who islooking to get a good deal and value for their money, this is for you. Yeah,... More

We stayed just one night at this hotel, glad we did not have to stay any longer. The hotel does not accept guests before 3pm (what's that all about), the key cards have to put into the locks upsidedown - so that confused us. There is no heating in the rooms until the key card is placed inside the slot... More

Yes its a bit cheap and cheerful and I wasnt keen on the fluffy curtains,,,,, what was that about? The bathroom was a bit grotty, not particularly dirty but in need of new tiles... More

Filthy, noisy and depressing possibly one of the worst hotels ever, I have stayed in better in India. This hotel is a total let down. Didn't even bother with the breakfast went across the road to Pret, do not book this hotel unless you are 18 and want a night out in Cardiff. The decor is hideous do not be... More

Room looked tired and in desperate need of some attention. This place is OK for getting your head down for a bit and thats just about it. The fire alarm sounded twice during my stay, when i questioned the receptionist about it, she blamed it on a hen party but there was no appologie from her. Parking is very very... More
