Travelodge Cardiff Central

Absolutely no value for money as there are similarly priced hotels nearby. Rooms are incredibly dirty and many bits are broken, including soap dispenser (but it didn’t even have soap anyways). Staff do not seem to care regardless of how many times you make them aware of the issues. Bins are not emptied even if filled up to the top. Didn’t feel comfortable walking without flip-flops as carpet was clearly outdated and dirty too. Reasonably located if you’re using the train station but absolutely no other positive side.

Great location you can walk everywhere from here. The staff were very friendly and more than helpful when we asked for more towels. The room was clean but there was a bad smell in the hallway. The hotel needs a little more care and looking after. You get what you pay for and for the price you can't complain.

Tatty hotel with lovely staff. My room was an endless walk away on the 3rd floor. It was very badly in need of renovation. Clean, but very basic and few amenities, broken tv remote, nowhere to charge phone near bed and very tired and incredibly basic for over £100, although clean.Close to shops and station.Otherwise, not recommended.

Had a shower, got out, only to find the majority of the floor in the room was soaking wet. Socks and jersey shorts on the window side of the bed were soaked through. Had brought some water, juices, arrowroot biscuits and skittles. Didn't attempt to try any of the food or liquid due to possible contamination. Left and informed the night staff lady. She tried to apologise and offer me another room, which I politely declined, and promptly left, asking her to get the plumbers in ASAP and to get their house in order.This is the only time I have been let down by a Travelodge.

I’m afraid I can’t recommend here and would never consider staying again - it’s a disappointment to the brand and needs serious attention. On checking in the member of staff at reception couldn’t find my reservation but eventually found some magic to bring it up. However after much tapping and attempts wasn’t able to take payment. This was escalated to another staff member who assisted, but I was left no option but for them to charge the same card used for the guarantee when booking. I had to wait until the morning to obtain the invoice.My room was on the first floor and all the communal areas and lift were dated, dirty and damaged. The room itself took this to a whole new level though - the fabric on the bed frame was torn, the wood on the desk was peeling, the walls were dirty, lamps wonky and generally just tatty. The pop-up single bed was a bit of an embarrassment and wasn’t one I’d ever want to use.The large windows overlooked the main street outside and did little to block out the noise. This was particularly bad at night, since the floor below is a nightclub / karaoke bar open until the early hours. The crowds and music make it practically impossible to sleep. Given there’s no air-conditioning or fans, and the fact the room was incredibly hot, you’re left with the impossible decision of opening a window and making the noise even worse, or sweating in an already unappealing bed. You may enjoy a few moments of peace when the club finally closes in the very early hours, but not for long as then the industrial commercial bin collection starts.In all fairness the bathroom seemed clean and was a decent enough size. It continued the dated feel though and the soap dispenser in the shower was empty.Overall the hotel offered no value for money at all, given there are multiple other options nearby at a very similar price, and with the state of the rooms and complete lack of sleep quality would strongly suggest no one else takes the risk of staying here.

We have never stayed at a Travelodge before. Because of the storm Babet there were no trains in or out of Cardiff so we had to find another hotel for an overnight stay.We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the room. The staff were amazing.I suppose the only downside is the noise from the club next door. It didn't really affect me as I'm deaf but my hubby did mention it. This was a Friday night!

Great location.Staff at front desk were ok but seemed to be having a private conversation at the same time as booking us in.The room was clean but clearly is showing some signs of use.The desk / TV stand was clearly coming apart and had nail varnish smear on it.Coffee pods also had no indication on them to say what they were .But for £30 complaining would be a bit harsh

Great location for practically everything including shops and museums. However, the room was very lack luster! There wasn't a duvet on the bed and there was mould or similar marks on the window frame.Something else I would like to mention is, you CANNOT leave your bags at the hotel as they haven't got a room which can be locked. This is in stark contrast to other Travelodges such as Manchester Piccadilly. Instead, you have to pay £5 per bag to have your bag stored at a local Spar shop.Furthermore, I ordered a breakfast box which when I opened it, it only had half the stuff mentioned on the box which for £5.50 was very disappointing.In addition, the floor I was on which was level 2 was very noisy. At around 22.30pm, a family left their room and decided to let their kids scream and shout down the corridor. Despite having a 'do not disturb' sign on the door, this wasn't honoured.As I started, the location is great but the hotel is seriously lacking.

Room clean but carpet full of stains and needs replacing. Not able to leave bags at the hotel before check in or after checking out. Staff checking in friendly. Our room on top floor very noisy all night until 4 am with loud music from club across the street. This was a Monday night. It was cheap and good location for city centre.shops clubs pubs and railway station.

Pretty good for a one nighter or a weekend away, room was spacious enough for two people, would recommend going on a weekday or a Sunday if u wouldn't like the noise from the club below. Otherwise it is very conveniently located within the city, next to some great bars and restaurants. Only downside is that's it's near a recycling centre so u do get woken up a bit in the morning.
