"We stayed here for a night whilst travelling through to a final location in Cardiff. We were pleasantly surprised by the quaint little room we were given. Whilst compact, it had everything you needed for your stay. Large shelves and under-bed storage were perfect for keeping the floor space clear. The bathroom came with all necessary basics, and extras could be purchased cheaply from reception. A hairdryer was loaned out free of charge which was brilliant. In the morning we had a breakfast roll and drink for £3.99 - absolute bargain and really tasty! There was also free fruit to help yourself too. Only minor negatives of this stay were; the bed was rather hard and gave me a very stiff back in the morning, and the window in our room backed onto another room who’s occupants kept turning the light on and off in the early hours of the morning. Unfortunately the blind is not flush to the window, and the light shone in right over our eyes and woke us up quite a few times. Other than that, we had a great stay and would absolutely stay again! I wish there were more of these across the UK!"

"Stay was amazing for the price. The staff were very kind and helpful. Rooms are well designed, comfortable, not massively spacious but completely understand that for the price. The only criticism I really have is the plug placement on the headboard between the beds. It makes it hard to put certain plugs there if they have a bulky beginning after the plug head."

"The room and service were okay only that there is need for improvement in the area of service. Apparently, I was assisted with microwave to warm some of my food but this was later cancelled. I would like to plead for consideration from the management to set up a kind of central place where there will be electric kettle and microwave to use as some of us as students, come from a far place like London to lodge in the hotel and we usually come with some kind of food which will be needed to warm and make some coffee too. Your consideration on this matter would be highly appreciated. Thanks"

"Rooms are cheap and have everything you would need in a hotel room. Room was clean and the beds were comfy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend for a 1 night or really short term stay. I do find it odd they only give single duvets even if you ask for a double, although, I guess that's how they save money and make the hotel even cheaper."
