The whole stay experience was very pleasant however the hotel is basic. The rooms are clean, the bedding crispy white. The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast not worth paying and there is no tea or coffee in the rooms. Car park a bit expensive for the location. If you are looking for one night stopover then is worth the price

For a budget hotel, this ibis strongly exceeds expectations. When I came, breakfast was £6 a head for all you can eat. Staff were kind and considerate. 5* for service but mainly due to the lack of expectations. I do not expect amazing service in a budget hotel but feel we still got more than we paid for.Double room is reasonably sized, excellent shower facilities and spacious enough if all you plan to do is sleep or surf the internet.Location is great, a five minute walk from the City Centre, and 7 minutes walk from where the coach gets in.Absolutely fantastic, and £38/night. Great weekend, thank you all.

Rooms are what you expect from ibis but customer service was great. Smooth check in procedure and staff always had a smile on their face and willing to help out. In particular Olena was amazing at sorting out an issue i experienced during my stay and couldnt recommend her enough.

Location good, separate parking good, staff lovely, bed very comfy, bathroom very tired and slightly smelly, breakfast ok for pre paid price £6 but wouldn't pay the price of £8+ by just turning up for it. Just as a bedroom fine as a base for any longer probably not. However we would stay for just 1 night stays again.

The rooms are very uncomfortable. The bathrooms are a strange setup with the toilet being in a room that has a door that doesn’t lock or stay closed. A bump of the door in the tiny toilet room will swing the door open. I wouldn’t recommend for a stay for more than a night. If you can find a hotel with a similar price, you’re better off not staying here.

I booked this hotel because, it's not far from the city centre & the price was great. The first room I was in had what looked like blood on the floor, I emailed the manager once this was spotted (I'm still waiting on a reply). …

No frills in the centre of Cardiff. Great value, great location, car park on site.Couldn't get into the fully booked car park but found a space nearby.Would have got 5 stars if the sink had been in a separate room from the bedroom but accommodation is sufficient for a one night stay
