What guests think

Tanes Hotel is often praised for clean, comfortable rooms and friendly, welcoming staff, with a convenient location about a 20‑minute walk from Cardiff’s centre and a bus stop outside, making it easy to reach the city's attractions.

Common downsides include traffic and internal noise due to a busy road and thin walls, small rooms in places, some shared bathrooms, and occasional maintenance or Wi‑Fi/TV issues. There is no breakfast or bar at present, and parking can be awkward to access or full, with staffing limited at times. Overall, expect a straightforward, good‑value base near central Cardiff.

Beautiful spotless room, comfortable beds, 20 minutes walk to town, friendly reception, free parking and WiFi. Only real drawback is the quite narrow parking spaces, and we also thought it was quite difficult to find the entrance to the car park at the back of the property. Bathroom is also a little bit narrow.

We only needed a bed for the night for a party near Cardiff. To that end it was adequate, just. We had a tiny room which even for our short stay was a squeeze. The place was clean enough although the interior is rather dated. The car park only houses about 5 cars, is accessed by an unnamed alley to the rear of the hotel and is not recommended unless you have a pretty small car. Our welcome was a little jaded. All in all just about adequate for small stay but can't really understand the reviews that are higher than this.

Great location with a handy bus stop right outside. Paid over the top for a comfortable single room with shared bathroom ….yes oasis was in town. A box of Lindt chocolates but couldn’t tell if I would be charged or not. Parking was easy for me but not many spaces. The only thing was leaving at 6:30am. I left my keys on the desk as asked and went to my car. I was locked in the parking area. I couldn’t raise anyone by phone or email until 7:08 and then they took another 20mins to open the shutter of the car park. There should be a clear sign or some communication of this for future guests.

Rooms are decent if you can get one with an en suite otherwise your sharing a toilet & shower. Very old fashioned property with old decoration & steep narrow steps leading upstairs as there is no lift. Wasn't pleased how I was asked for my debit card & details including my card being photographed including CVV2 number.

Tanes Hotel was one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. It had a good supply of refreshments in the room, and the room itself was very comfortable and maintained at a good temperature. The service I received was minimal but polite, helpful and accommodating. Excellent value for money

Issue with another guest parking, blocking all other guests in, asked manager to sort, and all he did was stick a polite note on the car window. I couldn’t get out of the hotel to visit Cardiff and Barry. I had to go to the end of the hall and loudly ask if anyone owned the car. Owner did move it, although they were offensive towards me and my daughter, manager did nothing to intervene. The room we had (Twin, no ensuite) was small, and the room had signs of mould on the wall above the wardrobe/door, and the tops of the surfaces were disgusting (dust/dirt). Only 1 x double socket on the floor, so kettle had to be placed on the carpet to boil. Would not recommend.

The room looked clean, but the shower was blocked and unpleasant things floated out of the plug hole as I showered! I don't think I've ever slept so badly in a hotel unfortunately. There were people wandering about locking and unlocking doors, using the shared toilets and creaking floorboards all night. Someone got up at 5.30 and made huge amounts of noise. This was a mid-week stay, and we chose this hotel for the free parking. I'd caution against banking on this carpark in anything larger than our Rav4, as it was quite tight even for my car. So really the only thing we liked was the decor of the room and the free parking. I would not stay again (sorry). We used the Costa Coffee just along the road for breakfast.

The hotel was absolutely lovely, and the staff were wonderful. Tony, in particular, was incredibly kind and very helpful. Check-in was quick and straightforward. We were handed our keys and left to settle in, which my husband and I really appreciated. Our room was great overall. There were a few marks on the wall and ceiling, likely from a previous water leak, but otherwise it was comfortable and well-equipped, with tea and coffee facilities provided which was a nice touch. The only downside was that our toilet stopped flushing after the first use, so we had to use the shared bathroom down the hall. Thankfully, it started working again the following morning. All in all, it’s a lovely hotel in a very convenient location near Cardiff Central. The free, secure parking was another big plus.

Tony was super friendly on arrival. 6am check out was seamless just leave your key on the desk. The bus stop is literally outside the door which is 8 mins or 3 stops into city center, also a great landmark for walking home. I will definitely stay again if i return to Cardiff.

Convenient spot within walking distance of central Cardiff, with frequent buses from the stop right outside. Being on a main road brings some traffic noise, and a few guests felt the rear access area was less appealing at night.

You are greeted on check in but then never see any staff again. During our stay breakfast was not being done which was a bit disappointing. On checking out we realised the hotel had been quite full but there was no noise disturbance. I would say this hotel is a good base for a couple of nights and reasonably priced.
