Our first stay at The Bid Sleep proved the point of "you get what you pay for", or perhaps not. At only £60 for a double room including continental breakfast I admit the cost was not over the top, but did include a hole in the bottom bed sheet, a non-working bathroom heated towel rail, curtains which had come adrift...

Booked this as a last minute overnighter to 'fall into' after seeing a show in CIA Cardiff.( directly Across the road) Its a bit 'Hostel'- like on entry- , as in not refined but then me and hubby only paid 20 each so wasn't expecting the Ritz.! You Buzz your way in downstairs and are faced with some grubby looking... More

Parking The stay started with some frustration on my part. The hotel has a car park, but very limited spaces. The spaces are £6 extra for 24 hours, which is fine as this is a budget hotel.

We paid £88 for a basic double room, absolute rip off. Small room, rude and unfriendly staff, one pillow and when asked for more think we woke the Receptionist up who mumbled that we had to go down and get them ourselves. Woken by false fire alarm at 4am, no explanation or apology, basic breakfast with not enough tables available.... More

PS hot and cold water taps bit of a challenge to change... More

It's many years since I last booked a room at The Big Sleep and I'm pleased to report that my recent stay was a significant improvement on the previous one, which was let down by the grubbiness of the room and noise from neighbouring guests. This time, our room was clean and in good nick. It was basic but for... More
