For a Budget Hotel needs to improve overall standards. For the price you pay you fell like you need a little bit more value for money. (107198416)

positive comments Clean and well lit room. Breakfast was resonable
negative comments Parking at the Hotel was very cramped it looked like it shared parking with a local company. Location of the reception when you have to walk up a badly light ramp to the Car Park to be identified before your let in to the hotel is a very bad idea. No access to Cold Water in our room and the Water cooler on our floor was also not providing cold water. Bedding was inadequate

Unfortunately it was not a very good experience as we were coming to a funeral, and the fact that you could not walk straight into the reception off the street was immediately off-putting. However once we got used to that, the slowness of the lifts, the noisiness throughout the night from other doors banging, it was not too bad. (97516728)

positive comments The reception staff were extremely helpful and the breakfast was excellent. The rooms were very clean.
negative comments The room did not have a very 'friendly' feel, the fan was not working and the doors in the corridors banged when people came to bed all through the night so the name Big Sleep Hotel was not very apt. The lifts were very slow.

positive comments Wonderful hotel - fantastic location & great view. Staff extremely helpful when retrieving lost wallet from the Town.
negative comments Perhaps just me, but couldn't seem to get cold water out of the taps! Had to resort to water cooler next to the lift.

The hotel had a power cut the night that we stayed so we were unable to enjoy our stay properly. We were offered a refund and alternative accommodation or a discount and we chose the discount as it was late and all we wanted was to sleep. The staff were very helpful even though they had many difficult customers to deal with. Despite the problems experienced I would stay here again. (97187273)

positive comments Lovely and clean. Rooms were very quirky and originally designed
negative comments The metal stairs

Noel from Edinburgh, United Kingdom;GB (Solo business traveller) 08 December 2006

Excellent location for downtown Cardiff, with huge rooms, although they're a bit minimalist in style. Panoramic views - windows stretch right along one wall - two if you get a corner room, as I did. No dining in hotel, but plenty of options nearby, and breakfast choice is good. Parking at the the hotel is limited, with pay options nearby quite expensive - so arrive early as it's first come, first served. (99068636)

positive comments Location adn large rooms
negative comments Decoration a little tired.

Steven from FELIXSTOWE, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 27 June 2005

Describing the breakfasts as continental scarcely does them justice. Many fancier hotels do not provide anything so good. Overheard one guest count the number of different cereals at 11. Canteen style promotes interaction between guests! (2431125)

positive comments No frills but perfectly adequate. Great views of trains from the rooms!
negative comments Exterior a little shabby.
