Sandringham Hotel

Booked into the hotel, staff from beginning to checking out, friendly and helpful. Ideal location for any events in Cardiff, parking, had to use NCP car park opposite the Millenium stadium, but half price when using this hotel, bargin. Only draw back on the night we stayed, disco till 5-30 in the morning, but no big deal.

Staff friendly and helpful. No lift. On a walking street meaning that the taxi can't drive to the door.

Overall, I liked my stay here. I booked a single room but ended up with a nice, big double which has its own good-sized bathroom. It was all very clean and reasonably quiet, and the location is excellent, really close to Cardiff Central Station, not a far walk from Cardiff Castle, and in the midst of many restaurants and shops. The breakfast is yummy, too. The cons: supposedly there's free wi-fi throughout the hotel, but my hotel room was at the end of the hall and I got no reception whatsoever. If I walked a few rooms down or to the lobby I could usually get a decent signal, but it was awkward and inconvenient to not be able to be in my own room. Also, maybe it's just me but I found the beds hard and super uncomfortable. I was glad I had two beds, because this allowed me to sleep on top of one duvet and use the other as a blanket.

I would recommend it to a friend. It was more than expected when I saw my room. Good room size, good service and very helpful and friendly staffs. Could hear movement when people walking and talking on the stairs, corridor and from the next room snoring! Poor floor and wall noise insulation. Otherwise it was a nice hotel to stay. No regrets.

Short distance to Cardiff Castle, shopping, restaurants, night life and the train station. Central neighborhood can be noisy at night. Staff was helpful. The hotel was clean but hasn't been updated for a long time. My single room was tiny, barely room to turn around. The mattress was thin and lumpy. Good English breakfast. Definitely a budget stay if you aren't looking for much.

Despite Hotelclub's failure to tender my advance reservation to the hotel, they were very helpful in assisting me and managed to get me a room at the annex. Friendly staff, clean and spacious room. Location is great, just a mere 5 minutes walk to Cardiff Castle. Highly recommended for business or leisure stay.

Great Location , Good Value For Money For a location so central. Hotel is a little dated & the rooms could do with a freshen up , but nothing too dramatic. Breakfast choice was very good each morning. If you are staying at weekend, be aware that Cardiff has a very lively night scene & also the Hotel may have its own functions on that can go into the early hours , so don't expect to get to sleep too early - unless loud disco music sends you to the land of Zzzzzs !! .... again it didn't affect me as I was one of the partygoers anyway ! :-)

Ok, but I would not rush back,I would try somewhere else!

While certainly not a glamorous hotel with dated decor, nor particularly luxurious with it's slightly small rooms and aging furniture, but it was functional, well located (within easy walking distance of Cardiff Central station, the Millenium Stadium, the castle, and Queen Street for shopping). The staff were friendly, the reception desk was manned all night, and there was a decent breakfast service included.

A basic but perfectly adequate and clean hotel. Location was fantastic.
