"Ticks all the boxes"

We booked 3 nights here at an absolute bargain of a price. Room was perfectly sized, sparkling clean & super comfy. The hotel itself must be a fairly old building, & yes, some features of the room are dated. However, any modernisation required is purely cosmetic & doesn’t change the fact that the beds are amazingly comfortable, the shower is powerful & clean, they provide tea & coffee, WiFi, hand soap & shower gel, towels and a fan for hot nights. Also impressive covid measures in place. We really enjoyed our stay. I’d like to give a special mention to the member of staff on duty when we checked in on Saturday 12th September at approximately 1745 ish. I’m sorry I don’t know his name but he was young & had light purple hair. He was attending to another guest who was unhappy that the lifts were not working. I don’t know if the guest was expecting this member of staff to pop down the lift shaft & repair the cables himself, but the member of staff was extremely patient, polite & professional. I work in service myself & completely felt for him being in a tough situation. I felt he did himself proud with how he handled it & I really hope one bad customer didn’t spoil his day! Based on his handling of the situation, I’d happily recommend this hotel to anyone.

"Basic rooms"

Stayed here for a weekend with a friend, we had a double bed and a single bed, the room was clean and basic, the bathroom was small but adequate, no net curtain for added privacy, we were right next to the glass stairwell and people could look straight into our room, couldn’t have the window open as we were right on the loading bay and carpark, there wasn’t any aircon in our room, but there was a plastic fan, the lift was broken, but wasn’t a problem as a member of staff carried my heavy bag for me, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the restaurant wasn’t open due to Covid, they had several ping meals on the menu for £6.99 that you could eat in your room, the worst being a pizza that you could get from Tesco for maybe a £1 being £6.99, all in all had a pleasant stay, but won’t be staying in that particular one again. There’s a Lidl, Waitrose and bar grill a short distance from the hotel, come out of the hotel drive and turn right.

"Good location, but hotel tired and in need of upgrade "

This is a well located hotel to explore both Cardiff and the surrounding area. The hotel is well prepared for COVID and we felt that there were plenty of precautions taken. The hotel desperately needs an update though. Rooms look tired and the bathrooms are tiny. The showers are pretty terrible and there is limited sound proofing between rooms. It was an okay stay, but realistically I’d choose somewhere else next time.

"Room great, breakfast awful"

Great night’s sleep. Room very quiet + comfy. Sadly breakfast was very bad. Leathery veggie sausages I could hardly cut, tasteless beans and very strange tasteless imitation scrambled egg. Good coffee though.

"Great staff, not so great building"

I shall start with the positives first. First of all, Mike really made our stay worthwhile. He was super friendly and excellent with my two girls, they really took a shine to him. Food (when it arrived!) was delicious. We had one iffy morning where some of our order was missing and then we nearly got someone else’s order (which was different). The waiter (not sure of his name but he wore glasses) was very apologetic and said he was sorry for the shambles. I can only assume with not so many staff and having to table serve everyone, mistakes are going to be made, maybe the hotel hadn’t been open long since lockdown. The downside to the hotel is the plain fact it is an old building. The rooms could certainly do with a lick of paint, as I noticed some peeling paint in our room. The heating/cooling system needs updated as the “cool” air was not very cool at all. Even with the window open, the room was warm and slightly uncomfortable. Unfortunately we were roadside so couldn’t have window open full as the noise kept us awake. Shower was excellent! Bathroom very small, again down to old building. Bed very comfy, pillows just firm enough. Depending on the time of year will depend on if we stay again and if some improvements are made to the rooms, as we would probably stay in winter rather than in the summer.

Hotel description Whether you're staying on a business trip or a mini-break, our Premier Inn Cardiff North hotel is ideal for getting the most out of the city. It's set on a key local bus route, meaning shopping and sightseeing in Cardiff couldn't be easier. Go bargain-hunting at the St David's Centre, catch a game at the Principality Stadium, or get a taste of the city's history at Cardiff Castle. There's plenty of golf clubs nearby for sports fans to enjoy, plus laid-back local attractions like Cardiff Bay to explore. Back at the hotel you can look forward to a tasty meal in our Thyme restaurant, before enjoying a great night's sleep on a super-comfy Hypnos bed.
