Location could not be better. The hotel is in the very center of Cardiff, steps away from the Castle and all the major shopping points. Room, although somewhat dated, was very clean and quiet. It did not really have a good view as it was facing a wall of the neighboring building. This was probably the reason why I did... More

My husband and I stayed here over the New Year weekend 2012. We were unsure what to expect from the "Family Run" hotel. Well it was exactly that, a lovely family run hotel. The Staff (Family) were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was well equiped and comfortable as was the rest of... More

Stayed here for a show at the CIA. Lovely place. For starters, only place I could find that didn't charge a premium or in advance for it being a show night (despite being round the corner from the arena)! A friendly (family run?) hotel smack bang in the middle of Cardiff city centre. Close to shopping, supermarket over the road,... More

We booked this hotel not knowing what to expect. It was right in the heart of Cardiff, and comes with subsidised parking in a nearby building for 24 hours. We got a free upgrade to a larger room, which was nice. What wasn't so nice was that it was on the fourth floor. There is no lift, so my knees... More

Thank you for your kind review. I am really pleased that you have enjoyed your stay. I am sorry that you found the stairs difficult. We do offer luggage assistance if required and also have rooms on lower floors off the main street if preferred. I recently had to re-tune some of the TV's so hopefully I have cured the... More

Was booked in by company and having read the reviews was expecting something a little shabby and in need of updating which is what I found. I was however somewhat surprised to find that the housekeeping around the hotel was somewhat lacking. My room was very tired and the furniture showing serious signs of wear and tear. There was an...

Thank you for your review. I am really disappointed to read that you were not happy with the overall standard of the hotel. I shall answer your comments in point form. 1/. The Sandringham is graded as a very good 2 star hotel so I think it is unfair to call us shabby. The grading covers every room including furniture... More

This is a honest, no-nonsense, family-run hotel, conveniently close to the train station and as central as you can get. Of course, the rooms are cramped, the walls are paper-thin and the neighbors are noisy, but it's still a good value for the money. The reception and common area smell strange, but fortunately the rooms don't, and they are clean.... More

Very central hotel, but then Cardiff is a very compact capital city to visit. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds and double glazed windows to block out sound from main shopping street and entertainment venues below (slept very well). Water for bath or shower was lovely and hot. Tea and coffee with kettle supplied in room. Staff were polite,... More
