    "Stop gap to and from hospital"
    Stayed here with my daughter, for 9 nights, while my grandson had major spinal surgery in the Heath hospital Cardiff, very clean, staff all friendly and helpful, food and drink available until 3 am, couldn't ask for anymore,
    "Great value"
    Great idea I spend a lot of time in premier inns. One or two issues, lack of air in the cabin once air con is off. Mattresses are a little bit memory foamy with reflective heat.
    "Surprisingly good, low priced short stay hotel"
    We just needed a quick overnight stay near Cardiff. This hotel was very low priced and so we thought we would give it a try. We were very pleasantly surprised. Although very compact there was all we wanted. The room was very clean and the bed was reasonably comfortable The was air con, which was lovely as it was August. There was virtually no storage space, but as we were there for one night it wasn't a problem. We went to the bar and the prices were very good. There was a pool table and a large screen TV. Breakfast for both of us was £9, which consisted a hot drink and a breakfast bap (egg, sausage or bacon) which was freshly cooked and tasty. The only real issue was it's location which accessed behind the David Lloyd centre and is poorly signed. But the carpark was secure and right in front of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel if you need a low priced room for the night
    "Does what it says on the tin"
    Stayed for the 6N final weekend. Hotel was clean, and did what it said on the tin - provided a place to stay. This isn’t the place to go if you’re looking for rose petal filled bath tubs but it is very good at what it does. What you see is what you get; ample parking. My only slight gripe would be, closing breakfast early… OK, only 10mins left but I want that extra lil and I was looking forward to that sausage batch!!
    "Good place to stay"
    Pleasant staff, nice room. Breakfast was good value. Might be good to have a leaflet in room explaining facilities available in the hotel. Would stay again.
