This hotel is not in the city centre and you have to cross a very busy road and walk about a mile or so to find the city centre. In my room, the safe was not working and there was a flickering light both reported at once, both still broken on return to the room, some 3 hours later. The... More

Please be advised that despite what the name suggests, this hotel is located about a mile south of the city centre and if you are on foot, you must negotiate a very busy highway as well as a huge roundabout. The area is an industrial area and it feels very intimidating at night. The same chain (Mercure) has another hotel... More

I had a large room, 2 double beds and a large shower. The staff are friendly and the room was quiet. There is a car park on site, however, the road network, to get to the hotel is "interesting" or frustrating. To get to the city centre is only a 10 minute walk, the hotel provides a helpful map. Don't... More

I booked a twin room for one night the day before the trip so I had a rather limited selection available to me. The room was clean and spacious with 2 good sized beds. It was a short walk to the bars and clubs but as it was raining we took a taxi so its close but not as close... More

Great staff, affording easy access to the city centre (very walkable indeed!), but it's not in the easiest of locations to find, if you don't know the roads. However, having lived not far from here in years past, it wasn't a problem for me; just remember you need to either see the Novotel if you're coming up Penarth Road (or... More

The hotel itself was comfortable and the reception staff extremely pleasant, efficient and welcoming. The room was quiet and comfortable and, at £49, good value. The downside for us was the location. It may be ok if one is arriving by car but it is difficult to reach on foot, as it involves crossing a very busy, fast-moving dual carriageway.... More

We booked a night at this hotel on lastminute.com. On the website and booking confirmation it says it includes "Complimentary Parking". However the hotel staff tried to charge us £4 and even when we showed them the booking form they said it wasn't their problem and tough luck! If lastminute.com stating complimentary parking is a "known issue" then they need... More

I have stayed here a couple of times whilst visiting Cardiff for business. This hotel is great value and offers clean, comfortable rooms. The location is central and convenient and besides a small gripe of having to pay for the car park (£4 at time of review), I would happily stay here again!
