Our stay was okay overall and suited our purpose, especially as it was not expensive. The room was very basic, but it had clean towels, a clean bathroom, and the bed was clean when we arrived. However, there were some hairs left in the bathtub, which was not very pleasant to see and could have been cleaned more carefully. When we first entered the room, it was quite cold, but after turning on the electric heater it became comfortable. Fortunately, it was not a particularly cold night. In summary, it is a very basic hotel, but acceptable if you are looking for a budget-friendly place to stay for one night.

The room was basic and average, but my issues are with parking which I was charged 5 pound for each night, my major issue was that there was a heavy police presence which interruptted my stay and someone had ended up dying in the room 2 doors down, with police and the undertaker, this occurrence has really distressed me and my friend who stayed with me as we wanted a good night, my friend ended up sleeping in his vehicle as he was traumatised and didn't want to stay anymore, I was left in the room knowing what had happened and I could barely sleep, I will not be staying again & I would like a refund for this issue.

We were only staying one night on a short visit to Cardiff. The hotel was easily accessed from the motorway. It reminded us of American-style motels with the rooms all having external access, although each room had a small lobby to prevent the Welsh rain entering the bedroom. After a quick friendly checkin we found a clean room with the basics we needed for the night. We were allowed to check in early although were warned that the water in the room would be unavailable until later owing to plumbing work. Our only concern was that the mattresses were not the most comfortable, but perhaps that is a matter of personal preference.

We booked 2 rooms, the first was ready when we arrived a little early for check & having explained we would be back late that evening I was told they would leave some notes and our 2nd room key would be ready. Unfortunately that wasn't what happended when we returned and a wait of almost 30 minutes ensued until the room key was provided. The rooms were very clean but he mattresses were very poor and only 1 pillow per person was not good. It is also worth noting the hotel is a steep incline accessed via a trading estate. We were given free coffee on checkout as recompense for the check in th night before as the delays were due to a new member of staff, unfortunately the coffee was as unimpressive as the mattresses. Overall this hotel is reasonable value for money but needs an overhaul to bring it up to modern standards and skimping on things like pillows does nothing to help.

Do not trust the pictures of this hotel that are online, i think these were taken when hotel was new, definitely does NOT look anything like that now. Dark, dinghy cold room, bed really uncomfortable, did not feel safe at all. Had a terrible night. Breakfast was cooked fresh, but not very well, couldn't eat it. Female cook had really long hair that was not tied up or covered. Would not book this hotel again

We had no complaints whatever. Our room was clean, warm and comfortable. The beds were really comfy with nice cotton bed linens. The bathroom was very clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them. Excellent value for money and we will certainly recommend.

Friendly staff at the check in. The main hotel building and reception looks presentable. The room was great value and exactly what I needed to have a night’s sleep after an event. The bed was comfortable, bedding clean. There were tea making facilities. The room was very basic and dated, with cold lighting - it was not very inviting. However focussing on the value, it was great for the price paid.

Really run down. Bright lights on outside with thin useless curtains. Stains on the wall. Shouldn’t have to pay for parking at an out of town hotel either. Staff were wonderful though.

We didn’t have breakfast so scored a half way mark as we were not able to skip it in this review. It’s an old Campanile hotel now run by a small group so I support them all the way. It’s handy as the brown road signs are still there directing from the motorway. Still looks outdated but it’s being upgraded. Lidl a short walk away for groceries. It’s on a steep hill so watch out if it’s wet or icy. Could do with two pillows but a bath towel came in handy. TV wasn’t much good with reception and selection of channels.
