WiseStay

We weren’t expecting much…and we were correct! We arrived at 10pm and it was all locked up but thankfully had a door code sent in one of the many, many confusing emails. We had a small double room which was two twins pushed together and one was higher than the other with a mattress topper on so I kept rolling to the middle! No soap provided at sink - just shower gel in the shower. Good location if you want the stadium but that’s about it. Didn’t encounter any staff which felt a bit weird and I didn’t feel particularly safe. Wouldn’t stay again.

Came to stay for the weekend as we come to Cardiff every year for the Speedway GP - meaning the location was perfect for us. My fiancé dealt with the booking and was advised we could park on the opposite side of the road. We paid to park for the Saturday and on the way to the Speedway saw that our car had a parking ticket - the ticket officers advised us to move the car or it would be towed. This caused a lot of worry and distress as we were then late to the Speedway after having to find an alternative space, pay for more parking and quickly walk back - not ideal. It would have been nice to have been told - hotel would know as it happens every year. When coming back that night we saw lots of other cars that also had tickets. We are not familiar with the area or the parking restrictions. Other than that, our room was comfortable and clean and good as a base for the weekend. Would have been nice to have had some hand soap as a basic necessity. Rooms are small but we didn't mind this. Would have rated higher if it wasn't for the parking situation but just frustrated with it all.

Very clean room, small bathroom, linen and towels were spotless. Everything was functional and functioning. Only one very small criticism, one sachet of milk between two of us and 1 mug and 1 tiny tea cup? Will stay again if I am off to see a band or in the City for any reason.

We travelled to Cardiff to watch pink at the principality stadium. The location was perfect. Easy to find. 5 min walk from the stadium and train station. The price was amazing considering all other hotels increase their prices by stupid amounts. Clean, affordable and a good wee find.

Easy check in using a code sent via email so no keys necessary, on the first night we couldn't use the TV as there was no remote in the room for it and there was loud noises coming from the boilers nearby which made it difficult to sleep. Spoke with the staff the next morning who were very nice and upgraded our room for us. Our second night was much nicer - fully working tv, comfier beds and peaceful. Overall, the hotel is clean and in a great location.

A great place to stay in central Cardiff. Very chilled and quiet with the river just across the road. Swans a-swimming and all that. A few minutes walk and you’re at the shops and restaurants. Obviously perfect if you’re going to the stadium for an event. Our room had everything we needed and was very clean. We’ll definitely stay there again

I found this little guesthouse when I was looking for somewhere to stay after going to a large concert at the Principality Stadium. I was very happy with how cheap the hotel was compared to others in the area and how close it is to the stadium itself. Due to the concert being a large event all of the main roads coming into the city centre were closed so I rang the hotel the day before to ask for advice on how to navigate getting to them and another hotel our friends were staying at and the ladies in customer service were very helpful and emailed us alternate directions. On a normal occasion there is on street parking available, however with the event this was closed off. Wisestay did notify us of this in advance of us arriving and also provided directions and the location of another carpark near by that was a similar price to the on street parking. Once here I loved the easy check in with coded locks. It meant I could go to the gig with just the bare and not have to worry about lost keys/access cards. The room itself was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. we had a room with a view of the stadium and the river. The only noise we heard from other rooms were a creaky floorboard from next door and the sounds of beeps from other people entering their own codes. But most of us had all been to the same concert so it didn't disturb us or disrupt sleep. It is a room only hotel with no option of breakfast but it is located in the centre of the city so plenty of options just on the other side of the stadium. Next time I am in the city I would look at booking here again.

Nicely located in central Cardiff this hotel was appealing. Vibrant in colours and clean and modern in design. It works but the rooms are very small and there are no service at all. The bathrooms are New but elements fall apart. This is not a cheap hotel - I expect more. Too much marketing - too little focus on operational matters. I find another place next time ☝️
