Premier Inn Cardiff North

Nice staff and wonderful amenities

Room was huge and clean. Love all the extra large bathroom.

Do you like Wi-Fi? Then don't stay here. This hotel treats Wi-Fi like it's water. Water, on a dying waterless planet, that teases you with a mirage of water out on the horizon, but it’s not real water, and you have to beg, borrow, or steal to get the smallest amount of actual water to live off — of until the next day, when the game starts all over again. They deliberately make their ‘Free’ Wi-Fi unusable so you’re pushed to the ‘Ultimate Wi-Fi’ (that’s actually only slightly faster than a 3G phone connection). Maybe this is a one-off weird issue? Maybe it’s me? Nope! ALL Premier Inns operate this way — as I stayed in two different locations on one trip; a mistake I won’t make again. But wait! They have a solution! A FREE coupon / voucher code to the rescue! Right? Sadly, unless you’re traveling alone with a BlackBerry phone, you likely have more than ONE device in your room that needs Wi-Fi. So you’re supposed create a Premier Wi-Fi account, and THEN input your coupon / voucher code into that account, so that THEN you can share and get more than one device online at a time. Does it work? You bet! Only 12 different screens assuming your family types in your new free Premier Wi-Fi account details correctly. But since you’ve read this far in the review, you’re now smarter than everyone at Premier Inn — who isn’t a nefarious bean counter playing keep-away with the Wi-Fi codes like it’s water on a dying, dust-filled planet.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Location convenient if you have your own transportation

A little too far from the city but fine if you have transport
