ZIP by Premier Inn Cardiff

I am giving this review due to trying different places to stay while working in Cardiff I was browsing the premier inn website and seen this place I thought for the money it was to good to be true but how wrong was I, on arrival the staff are absolutely brilliant bearing in mind its a busy hotel but they don’t rush you to get rid of you the rooms are decent mine had two single beds which can be pushed together if your a couple the shower is absolutely bang on boiling hot and powerful I also went down for food the food took a while to be served but when it comes out of the kitchen it’s piping hot and very well priced would I highly recommend this hotel very much so I have booked again for next week and I will continue to use this hotel for the foreseeable now till my contract comes to an end so I would like to thank all the staff for an enjoyable stay and the brilliant serve and hospitality

I am really impressed with the overall experience at this hotel. Nowadays affordable options usually mean you have to compromise, but this was just a slightly simplified version of the normal Premier Inn’s. Friendly reception staff, clean room, everything worked properly, honestly no complaints! If you are after a spacious room and lots of storage then this isn’t the place for you, but as a place to sleep when you plan on spending most of your time exploring the city it’s perfect! I would definitely come again if I ever re-visit Cardiff.

I’d never heard of a Zip hotel before but it met my requirements perfectly. I wish there were more of them as I’d use them all the time for work. Really simple in design but clean tidy and everything I need for a few hours shuteye. Yes the room is small and the twin beds not particularly wide but it was extremely practical. Would definitely recommend at £66 for two of us plus breakfast (a bacon roll and coffee)

Checked into the ZIP with my friend for the weekend, just wanted to do some good cardiff shopping. Greeted by absolutely lovely staff, unsure of names, one was a very lovely young woman with a big sparkly star in her hair and the other was a man with some pins (one including a black cat) on his lanyard and he was also lovely and helpful! Helped us when we were a little worried when our card suddenly worked and explained the situation very patiently which was great as me and my friend are both autistic so sometimes might need a second or so to process something. Room super comfy, nice and clean and had a really cool colour changing light. Just a perfect size for two people! Beds very comfy and bedding smelt clean and fresh.

I know that this is a cheaper version of a Premier Inn (which I've stayed at dozens of times) but I wasn't too keen. No kettle for a cuppa, tiny bathroom. The bed wasn't made up and quilt was just left folded on the bed. I think I'll pay the extra for a proper room next time
