We were due to stay here on Sunday, to have a phone call late last night saying it had been cancelled with no explanation, to be then told they can't fit/find us anywhere in Cardiff to stay. …

OYO cancelled my reservation at their Cardiff Central Hotel, via email, 5 days before my stay and without any explanation. I had booked my room 5 months in advance to ensure I had my accommodation sorted for the Springsteen concert. Absolutely terrible customer service and you cannot rely on having a reservation for a room.

DO NOT BOOK HERE. I got an email at 4am on the day of my booking to say it's been cancelled with no explanation. It was booked for ages for an event. Absolutely unbelievable, how can they even do that? Terrible.

Stayed for one night with mates back in November 2019. We wanted somewhere cheap to stay after the rugby so booked this place. Location wise, it's not too far to walk into town or obviously you could get a taxi. …

We went on a stag weekend. Expensive rooms for what you got. Brown walls, surprisingly the carpets were clean. Beds with springs in your back. You got an old iron and a mix of TVS but no hairdryer unless you paid a deposit to get one. On top of your room costs you have a £20 room deposit in case of damages which you get back. Showers worked but weren't very high if you are tall and didn't drain very well. Overpriced, but ideal for what we needed it for so can't complain. They had a decent bar area with a pool table and TV for sport. Breakfast was reasonably priced for £7 with all you could eat buffet. Not much choice but did the trick for a hangover. Ideal for a stag party.

Staff are very friendly and polite, breakfast is lovely there is quite a lot of options for a buffet. The rooms are basic but very clean, beds are comfy and price is very reasonable. Starting to look fresh with the decorating going on :)

It is in an ugly area, a 20 minute walk to the centre. There is a lot of traffic in front of the house and it is not necessarily quiet in the house either. The bathroom is very small and everything smells strongly of chlorine. The receptionist spontaneously booked my room first on the wrong date. For this my stay was charged twice. Despite phone calls and emails, my money was not refunded. That was over a year ago. I don`t recommend anyone staying there !
