Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Location and facilities for the price were a bargain. Good value for what I paid
Nothing
Super Lage in der Innenstadt, sehr nettes Personal
Great location in the city centre. Friendly staff
It's a budget hotel
Convenient location staff very helpful and friendly room very clean all facilities needed
The stairs but that’s personal choice which I was in aware of not the hotel
Расположение, персонал, площадь номера, наличие чайно-кофейной станции
Сантехника. В номере очень влажно, но, вероятно, таков климат в южном Уэльсе. Комфорта четырехзвездного отеля не ждите, но и цена соответствующая.
Super location a couple of minutes walk from everything - station, stadiun, restaurants, shops. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean comfortable room, which was a good size and huge bathroom.
Lights in room very bright. In night could do with dimmer light. No lift. If you are fit and healthly it is not an issue. Staff were so lovely, helping with bag.
Great hotel location. The lady at the reception was very kind, friendly, and helpful. The hotel was clean and nice, with a comfortable bed and, most importantly, a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
Quiet room at rear of hotel. Pleasant, friendly, helpful staff. Room was comfortable, large bathroom and good shower. Near to city centre shops, amenities,etc. Location suited us as we used public transport each day to visit friends and family
Right in the middle of the city centre would stay there again
Sentral beliggenhet
Vi måtte bytte hotell samme dag var ikke som forventet sengene var grusomme fuktig ingen luft ingen lys på bad bare vifte luktet mugg var inne i fem minutter løp ut å byttet hotell alltid vært fornøyd tidligere dette var SVÆRT skuffende anbefales IKKE
Arrived late, very comfy bed
Lots of stairs
Lo único bueno : la ducha el agua salía bien y el baño era amplio. La ubicación es céntrica pero nuestra habitación daba al frente de la calle principal y desde las 6 am se escuchan alarmas de unos pilotes que suben y bajan . IMPOSIBLE DORMIR
Para empezar la cama es tan tan tan finito el colchón que tú espalda toca las maderas de la cama. JAMÁS dormí en una cama tan incómoda ni en hostels vi camas tan percudidas. Por otro lado estaban arreglando la fachada de afuera y teníamos a PERSONAS COLGADAS de nuestra ventana sin tener intimidad y no poder abrir las ventanas para que entre luz. Cabe destacar que no nos avisaron de esto.
La localisation est parfaite, la réceptionniste Anne-Marie était d’une gentillesse incroyable, la chambre était bien équipée (quoi qu’un peu encombrée), grande salle de bain et lit confortable.
Hôtel assez vieillissant donc il ne faut pas s’attendre à quelque chose de moderne. Il semble quand même bien entretenu, à part les moquettes qui devraient être remplacées
Great location
The location is excellent. It is right in the centre of Cardiff, very convenient for shopping and entertainment attractions
The hotel is very up front about the fact that there are no lifts in the property. This can be a real challenge for anyone who is older, ill or unfit.
Struttura in pieno centro a Cardiff. Vicinissima all’Ultilita Arena. Vicino c’è un McDonald e un supermarket aperto 24 su 24. Personale molto cordiale e gentile.
The location was great. Fortunately they gave us a quiet room as the town was bouncing on the weekend. The receptionist was fantastic and very helpful.
The stairs were very steep. The plumbing was intermittent. It would have been nice to have a shelf in the bathroom. We were grateful,for the security bars in the shower as it was a steep climb. We had difficulty getting hot water so far up on the fourth floor sometimes.
Very welcoming and helpful staff. Fantastic location a short walk from the bus and train stations and Cardiff Castle.
Wasn’t anything I didn’t like but as there is no lift you have to get used to climbing the stairs…
Preis leistung konnte ein bisschen besser sein
Nice and clean.
Nothing to dislike.
L'emplacement est central et l'hôtel a du charme.
Les clients savent que ce n'est pas un 5 étoiles mais cela pourrait être plus propre. Par exemple, juste bien laver l'escalier que tout le monde emprunte plusieurs fois par jour ne serait pas un luxe. Également, le tapis de l'escalier devrait être changé. Il est extrêmement sale.
The lady on reception was wonderful. The property is in a prime location. Although only a 2 star hotel, there was tea and coffee making facilities etc. The communication from the hotel prior to staying, was excellent.
The rooms just need a little modernising/ TLC. There is no car park but that is to be expected due to the great location and access to a local car park is limited when an event is on at the stadium due to road closures.
The bedding and towels were spotless
The stairs. I was a little nervous as I have a bad knee but they were ok.
Central Cardiff very cost effective decent sized room with bath and shower
Lovely room
Great location, clean room and friendly staff
Family run, very kind, clean.
The location is very good, really right in the center, everything is nearby and there's parking very close by. A special mention was a lady who attended to us while we were staying at the accommodation. She was super friendly and polite! Unfortunately, I don't remember her name, but she was a blonde woman.
Unfortunately, the cleanliness left much to be desired; we had to return a day early because the room smelled strongly of mold and was uncomfortable. The bathroom wasn't very clean and the bed wasn't very comfortable; we didn't get a good night's sleep.
the bedbugs
Smack dab in the middle of everything plus the front desk staff were all amazing.
Room smelled like cigarettes, there’s definitely street noise but I sleep with earplugs, low water pressure in shower, no conditioner in the room.
Super céntrico cerca de los lugares emblemáticos de Cardiff. Personal muy amable y disponible. Habitación espaciosa.
La habitación daba a la calle principal y para nosotros nos resultó un poco ruidosa.
We were moved to another ‘the Lodge’ because of electric problems . It was disgusting! grubby broken carpets. Curtains that didn’t fit . Stair way dusty nightshade covered in fluff.
needs a total renovation!
Room was comfortable and staff were amazing. Location was central to everything on a pedestrianised street
The place is in the center of the downtown—near City Center.
There’s no elevator.
Excelente localização no centro de Cardiff a poucos passos da Estação Central de Trem que foi o meio de transporte que usei para continuar minha viagem, restaurantes e pontos turísticos. Equipe muito atenciosa, limpeza excelente, ótimas instalações no quarto e banheiro, recomendo.
Nada a destacar, talvez um elevador pois a construção é alta com escadaria ingreme, não que atrapalhe mas ajudaria se tivesse pois com malas maiores exige um esforço maior para os andares superiores.
Excellent location - in the heart of everything - restaurants, coffee shops, bus and train stations - all a few steps away. Lady at reception was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable.
Nothing to add here - I liked everything.
Infested with bedbugs in room 302, woke up with about 40 bites at 5 am and immediately left. Bed and wall behind bed was crawling in them. Loud drunken karaoke noise coming from downstairs till gone 2am. The place is very tired and dated and covered in scaffolding, but that’s an irrelevance given the bedbugs. Worst nights sleep of my life.
Good location, next to the train and next to everything needed. Staff was absolutely lovely could not fault the staff. The main reception area is lovely and welcoming.
Firstly i didn't like the fact had to carry suitcases up a really steep set of steps. The room didn't feel clean to me As soon as I stepped in the room it had an awful strong smell that made me feel a bit sick so i proceeded to spray perfume and then try to open the window to let some air in, the window wouldn't stay open and was covered in black mould around the window frame. The view was absolutely awful of ladders and a roof so definitely not a room with a view. The staff really were lovely but i wouldn't go back. An honest review unfortunately.
Everything was lovely helpful staff ,clean etc .Good for central Cardiff.
Didnt like the noise at night went on till 3 to 4 perhaps back of building not st marys street side .Perhaps invest in double ,double glazing .
Location is brilliant, they have the facilities you need, basic but great value for money, especially being in central Cardiff. I always come here for a night’s stay. We were staying during a heat wave so the fan came in handy
The rooms are a bit old fashioned and could do with updating but for the price you pay I am in no way bothered by it. Excellent value for money
The bed frame and other thinggs in the room had clear signs of wear and tear. The toilet leaked
Friendly and helpful , quiet comfortable room. Central location
No lift
Location was brilliant for gig at the castle
Needs a little TLC a paintbrush and a few dips of paint would make all rhe difference
Receptionist woman was friendly
Location has lots of drug addicts near it, hotel was a construction site out front, building work on the road early morning, drunks at all hours of the night, bed was so uncomfortable, the curtains did not close it hung off the wall, the bath looked like it hadn't been cleaned, there was red and white tap over the wall, wall sockets did not look secure, the dust was clumping down the walls. It is the worst place I have ever stayed in and I went home early just to escape.
It was in the middle of everything and was still quiet at night
Nothing
El personal muy amable y la ubicación es excelente, justo en el centro.
Staff, the whole stay was great. Facilities and location
Nothing to complain about
Location
No lifts and air-conditiing
Everything was great Perfect location for what we needed to do and go
In the middle of the city.
Too loud cooling aggregate outside
Great location, friendly helpful staff and the room had plenty of amenities.
Nothing.
Staff/owner very good. Got full refund.as couldn't sleep due to infestation of bed bugs.
La localización es ideal para recorrer el centro de la ciudad y los más conocidos pubs
El aislamiento es insuficiente para el ruido que hay en la calle lo que dificulta el descanso
Location was very good. Nice size bathroom.
Work being carried out creating loud noise. Decor was poor. Uncomfortable bed and pillows.
Central
The staff were very helpful and gave us great advise on how to get around. The location was superb.
The accommodation was very dated. But comfortable enough for a couple of nights. Toilet roll holder was not user friendly.
We wanted a basic property close to the castle and station. It was perfect. Beds were comfortable-shower good and hot.
Not their fault but a lot of building renovations close by meaning scaffolding everywhere
Central location, staff were excellent
Needs a lot of modernising
Right in the middle of the city so easy to get to where we were going. Lady on reception was friendly. Cheap accommodation.
Rooms are very dated. We stayed in the heat wave and it was hot! We had a fan but it had seen better days. Bathroom was damp and had a horrible smell.
Posizione
Stanze e bagno molto poco curate. Necessitano ristrutturazione
The location was excellent right in the centre and easy to walk everywhere. We went to a concert in the Castle and walked to the docks the next day. We will be back for sure
Rooms are a bit dated and basic but fine
The lady on the reception desk was super friendly. The place is in a great location. The rooms had quite a cozy feel.
The noise from the pub around the corner is a quite loud. And I would have loved some herbal tea
Hotel reception staff are lovely, very helpful and friendly. Location is great for Cardiff Castle (15 mins walk) and Railway Station (10 mins walk) On the main street with cafe's and eating places/ pubs very close. Comfortable beds and good shower. Exceptionally clean.
Hotel is dated and needs investment. No tea bags!
L'accoglienza familiare ed il soddisfacimento delle mie richieste, la posizione
Tutto benissimo
Tutto ok
Brilliant location right where I needed it; for the castle. Very helpful & friendly staff. 24 hr reception.
Bed was a bit too soft for me.
Albergo al centro
Tutto ok
Too much noise from bars around the venue
You cannot beat this location! 5 min walk to Cardiff Castle, 5 min walk to the bus terminal. Surrounded by bars and restaurants. Very friendly lady at reception. Although it was very hot outside, the room stayed cool enough to enjoy a good nights sleep.
Well I didn't have breakfast there so I can't tell ye that, and the location was it you asked? Obviously any fool can see from a chart of the town that it be most excellently located in the heart of the town on Saint Mary's Street, what a silly question to ask me- twice I might add!
Well the bath tap took a little getting used to as it had two of those twisty things- knobs? instead of a combined hot/cold. The primary thing which made the stay less than ideal was a result of the convenient location- namely the noise from the venues below which even on weeknights carried on well into the night, but one must expect these things in the heart of a large national capital, must not one? Ah yes- they had a policy that one must hand over one's keys to the reception every instance one desired to venture without- which is the first such instance one has encountered such a phenomenon, and made me less likely to bother venturing without of an eve. Aye, but aside from that it was a normal hotel with the usual standards as regards most aspects.
No lift to the top floor
The location
There is no lift
Good central location and friendly staff
Funcionários muito atenciosos e prestativos. A localização é muito boa A vedação das janelas e black-out garantiram noite tranquila
Quarto triplo fica muito abafado. Colchões não são muito confortáveis
lo staff erano molto disponibile. Oltre di quello non mi ha soddisfatto mio soggiorno.
Tutto la struttura è molto squallido. Molto sporco e vecchio. I letti fatti in un maniera con blocchi solidi sotto e un materasso messo sopra. Ha bisogno di un upgrade in ogni dove.
De locatie was super, midden in het centrum. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk.
Het hotel is erg verouderd. Onze kamer rook heel muf, en het leek alsof er lekkagevlekken waren weggewerkt door er overheen te behangen. Verder was het bed écht aan vervanging toe, de springveren staken in je rug.
Location
I highly recommend the family owned Sandringham Hotel. The managers are staff are very welcoming and helpful. The service was top class. My room was clean and tidy with all necessary facilities provided. My bed was very comfortable ensuring an excellent nights sleep. The hotel is centrally located for bars, restaurants and entertainment. I’m looking forward to next visit
Location
Dated
Great location on the High Street, in the heart of all the local amenities. Very gopd support from the receptionist. Traditional hotel with good facilities
Very noisy at night, though I knew about this in advance
Jättebra läge i centrala Cardiff.
В центре тусовочный жизни Кардиффа
Это не отель, а ночлежка какая-то. Ужасные условия. Хорошо, что нам нужно было просто переночевать одну ночь
The bed was the most uncomfortable thing possible felt like sleeping on a brick wall
Right in the centre of the city, easy to get to transport Friendly staff who facilitated an early check in Shared fridge for guest use
The hotel is dated, which is reflected in the price you pay. Just be aware of damp tiles in the bathroom and temperamental hot water.
Rapporto qualità prezzo, posizione centrale ma camere abbastanza silenziose, reception sempre aperta, personae gentile
Camere e bagno un po' datate
Central location, wifi was good. Friendly staff.
Really clean, central and friendly staff. Great price.
Location and the super friendly staff, lovely breakfast no
It is very dated and really does need refurbishing and no lifts

Everything was really great!
The hotel was spotless, comfortable and location is second to none right in the centre perfect for nights out or concerts at the castle, the staff are so helpful and friendly couldn't do enough for us thank you!
Nothing
The host was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean.
Right in the city centre and the staff were amazing!
Windows didn’t open, three flights of stairs and no lift, single woman put on the top floor, price was massively inflated due to a concert being on which was exploitative!
Central - staff very friendly and helpful
Position is perfect. And the lovely woman who owns the hotel was very helpful.
Great location, lovely staff and had everything you needed. It is an old building with old decor but was very clean.
Nothing

Very loud
Location was fab Alison made the stay perfect from start to finish what a great member of staff she is Will definitely being staying there again
Location staff.
No hot water for shower.
Einfaches Hotel, Sehr freundlicher Empfang, nahe Bahnhof …
… die Nähe des Bahnhofs bedeutet mitten in der Amüsiermeile. Aber britische pubs machen ja Gottseidank um 23:00 Uhr zu.
