We stayed here for one night and we would probably come back to this hotel. Hotelstaff is friendly and helpful. The room was nice and clean, bathroom as well. Nice breakfast. Free wifi. Located in the city centre, close to the bus and trainstation but also closeby the castle/shops. Parking is nearby the hotel, about 5 mins walk but rather... More

This hotel is only a two minute walk from the train station. It is well priced (£60 for my friend and I for one night and included breakfast). The rooms are clean, tidy and somewhat stylish, with comfortable beds. There's supposed to be free wifi for all rooms. However it didn't work in ours for some reason. Breakfast was nice... More

Hello. Thank you so much for your visit and review. I am very happy to read that you have enjoyed the hotel and service. I apologise about the Wi-Fi. I had an engineer updating passwords etc and it took him a bit longer than expected. It should be fine next time, if as I hope, you return in the future.... More

This is a difficult place to review. The purist could pick holes in all sorts of things: lots of stairs and no lift; dated decor bordering on the tatty; street noise at the front; mattresses not exactly Vi-Spring pocket-sprung models. But, as a two-star, reasonably priced hotel, the Sandringham does a very good job. It could hardly be more conveniently... More

Booked for mid week via the net & so got a very reasonable price. Near to just about everything central & certainly a great spot for that. Breakfast filling & a very varied choice for free.

I traveled to Cardiff during the second week of April and the weather was still very damp and cold. I must admit I was a bit worried staying in an older building during colder weather. I was worried it would be drafty and cold. When I checked in Alison was at the desk and she assured me that all rooms... More

Very central for city centre. The room is at the back and quiet, the bed is comfortable and plenty of hot water in the shower. Breakfast was good and liked the option of making it bigger for £2 extra.
