booked this hotel as looks lovely on website. states 'chic' and 'boutique' , i dont think so. rooms are very basic, its a converted office block with office ceilings and flooring etc. stated parking but had to pay extra as car park always full. shabby curtains, no hot water in the morning so had to boil kettle for a wash.... more

Lots of bargains available in Cardiff, but still £48 for city centre B&B mid week is pretty good.. You get the feeling that the designer must have been on acid when this place was put together. Some of the strange niggles mentioned in earlier reviews are still there, like having to brush your teeth in warm water cos you cant... more

I was given a night’s stay as a surprise gift and only knowing it as the old British Gas offices I was looking forward to staying the night. It’s very modern inside and has a pink theme through out. It is a very tall building and has fab views from the top floors over Cardiff and the Bay. I stayed... more

We stayed at the Big Sleep from 27 Feb 2009 to 1 March 2009 having won the prize of a weekend break in a competition. We had read the reviews about the hotel which are pretty much correct, This hotel is a main target for people heading for The Millenium Stadium, The International arena ( 2 mins away) or for... more

Booked it the day before on the hotel website, as not showing up through last minute booking sites, then read the reviews!! However, very pleasantly surprised, booked a family room for 2 adults and 2 children 10 & 11. Lovely room on the 8th floor, overlooking the CIA where we were going, so could judge the queues before leaving the... more

Stayed here for one night in penthouse with my Partner. The room was large with a huge bed & floor to ceiling windows that gave fantastic views over to Cardiff Bay & the city. There was a large jacuzzi bath but the heated towel rail did not work. There was an electric heater in the main room which gave out... more

We stayed here because of the rugby. Was nice and close to the Stadium and city centre, easy walk and an easy stumble back from the nightlife Rooms were very large and spacious - a group of us went and we had a budget room and one of a higher quality that we had to pay a little more for.... more

I stayed one night with my girlfriend (ages 30, 28) as went to a show at the Millenium Centre. Not impressed at all and the website photos certainly don't live up to the reality Ok, location is good and the place is brightly coloured, but that's about it in terms of perks. We booked through another site that gave this... more

This is a good hotel in terms of location, but overall I was rather disappointed. I'm supposed to be staying there for 3 weeks for work, but I am changing hotels for the next 2 weeks rather than return. The hotel has a small car park, which is good, but in certain places other cars can block you in, which... more
