I have stayed at budget hotels in the past and always found them to be adequate, including other hotels within this chain. After this stay I will never stay at another travelodge again. The location is the only plus point to this hotel - it's close to the bars,clubs, shops and restaurants of Cardiff. However, I found the hotel to... More

Having just read some of the reviews I was surprised - I actually found this one to be very modern (rooms anyway) took me a while to find out how to actually get into the building as there are 2 travelodge signs and I was stood by the one on the corner, the room itself was basic, but all travelodge...

I got this hotel for £10 in the sale, and I'd say it was very well spent! Hotel room was very clean. It had a big bathroom with a very powerful shower. This is not a luxury hotel so I did not expect that. Positives: Right next to Whetherspoons! Great for their cheap breakfast/food. Very near bus station and right... More

As per the other reviews of this 'hotel', this 'hotel' has to be the worst place I have ever stayed. The rooms were filthy- vomit stains and chewing gum on the carpets, holes and stains up the walls, mouldy, hairy bathrooms, and a pungent smell. Staff were helpful and the location good, but neither could make up for the dire... More

myself and two friends paid £53.20 for a one night stay here in a family room. it was an ideal location for us, close to the train station, CIA and and most importantly - pubs!!! The check in was quick and easy (we paid an extra £10 for an early check in at 12 - highly recomended). Very friendly staff,... More

It was my little brother's graduation in Nov 2011 in Cardiff...so I chose this hotel as it was close to the venue of the ceremony. We had to park our car in a nearby pay & park area, the safety to which we had serious doubts. The reception staff when we checked in at night was very cordial but the... More

THE most disgusting room I have ever stayed in. I was booked in for 2 nights but could only stomach staying one. I expected basic accommodation for the price which is what I got, but the room was filthy, the carpet caked in chewing gum and wet vomit amongst a host of other. This place needs closing down.

The Business Model lets you know up front, that price is paramount, and Shampoo & Shower gel is not included - OK. The toilet roll paper is the size of a postage stamp, and was not readily replenished. No toilet brushes. We found the standard of room service to be very poor, even though there was not a lot to...
