We have stayed here twice. Very much a budget hotel, though saying that it was clean, secure, and had more than adequate facilities. The staff were frendly and helpful. Decent breakfast included in price. They do a deal with a local car park, so parking is half price. It is located above the famous Cardiff Jazz club, so top class... More

We were looking for a clean, centrally placed accommodation as a stop over as we drove to bath. The Sandringham was clean and ideally placed. It was a pity that the hoons of the area choose to drink, yell, scream and act like idiots in the mall in front of the hotel. The soccer match played that afternoon probably didn't... More

Hello and thank you for your review. I am pleased that you have enjoyed your stay. I am sorry that there was a bit of noise in the street. You are right there was three games of rugby involving six Welsh regions playing that day so it was a bit noisy. It seemed fairly harmless but still I am glad... More

We got a lot for our money: a centrally located hotel, clean room, and a familiarly, friendly, and warm service. The rooms are small and there is no elevator to lift your luggage up to the maybe third floor. For us this was no problem. We loved to stay there! More

Cardiff is such a great place and this hotel is very convenient for the city, near to the station and shopping centre but sadly this is it's best feature. It's quite shabby and not recommended if you have difficulty with stairs as there is no lift and everything, including reception, is on the first floor and above. We paid £40... More

Located in a pedestrian street in the central business district and only a short walk from the rail and bus stations, this hotel is good value for money. There was a warm and friendly welcome from the reception staff and my room was clean and comfortable with a good bathroom en suite, The full breakfast service was spoiled only by... More

Good for a short stay. Decor a litle dated & in need of sprucing up - but in all other respects this is a very good place for a short stay. Friendly, efficient staff - excellent location right in the heart of the city. Good breakfast - handy bar / cafe on ground floor. Highly recommended. More
