What guests think

Across the reviews, easyHotel Cardiff is described as a no-frills, budget place in a central location, with very small but generally clean rooms, friendly staff, and basics like a comfortable bed and powerful shower suited to short stays.

Many note the trade-offs: rooms are extremely compact with little storage, no in-room kettle or breakfast, and some report only one towel, sealed or windowless rooms, and slippery showers. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly and helpful, while the location is walkable to sights; however, noise from other guests and the surrounding area feeling less pleasant are mentioned, and there is no on-site parking (discounted NCP nearby) plus fees for bag storage. Overall, expect a basic, central crash-pad best for short stays.

Friendly staff. Hotel is spartan but clean. Basement no window rooms are… very dark! Take a small light. Coffee machine out of order but Starbucks opposite opens at 7am. Take a walk up City Road and have dinner at the wonderful South Indian restaurant Ponnuswamy.

Your reception staff are polite and friendly but they need to be able to give clearer directions to the NCP car park where you have a discount arrangement for guests. Simply providing the postcode, without being able to clarify the car park's whereabouts, is not in my view adequate.

I know this is cheap and cheerful but to not have a kettle and pay for tea and coffee in the foyer is disappointing. Also TV did not have bbc1 or itv1. Otherwise simple and ok

My 4 day stay at the hotel was pleasant.It was nice and quiet, the staff were friendly and helpful.It was easy to use the facilities and although it is a no frills hotel, it has what you need to get by.24 hour reception is useful.Maybe having Netflix or streaming service would be an improvement and having an information card stating how the lighting operates as it's carbon neutral hotel.Otherwise I would be happy to stay again.

Very clean, lovely staff at reception. Secure building with several key doors to get to rooms. Only downside was that we had one towel and two people staying. As was only one night we made it work! Would definitely stay again. Pre bookable car park just behind through just park costing £12 for 24 hr.

Room was perfect for a short stay- very clean and bed was comfortable. Only a short walking distance to the centre. There is parking nearby but not on site, £12.95 a day so slightly expensive. Staff were incredibly friendly and were available at all hours.

Their blackout curtains were the best I’ve experienced on this trip. I’d have preferred an 11:00 checkout time like everywhere else I’ve stayed. Their policy of charging for bag storage is outrageous, but I was able to check in slightly early, so it wasn’t an issue.

This is a typical Easyhotel you get what you pay for! If you want wifi it's extra £5 for 24hrs but for one or two nights it's fine. There is no tea & coffee in the room but there is a machine in reception. The room we had was spacious & comfortable. We stayed one night & all we needed was a bed, shower & toilet & for £15 each it was perfect. It is a city centre hotel the traffic noise was like white noise & only the sirens of the blue light services disturbed us which is forgivable. I would stay there again.

The sheets and towels were obviously washed but there were large hairs on the sheets. The towels were clean but had small stains and smelt musty. The list of things missing from your room because it's a budget hotel do not seem justified when you charged £145 for a night. On the positive, the hotel itself was clean and efficient. The room was small but well laid out. The staff were friendly and efficient.

It was as if the cleaner had gotten distracted as the room had only been partly cleaned -the loo did not have a bin liner. The toilet had not been cleaned and the floor not hoovered. There was garbage under the mattress. There was only one towel per person and nowhere to hang towels or put stuff. The hallway had garbage on the floor in the common areas that was there on both days. Minimal is OK, but there was a sense of lacking. Thankfully front desk staff were great and always there, and the room was quiet.

Rooms

Rooms are extremely compact with minimal storage, sealed or windowless options, and few furnishings; beds are generally fine but some find them uncomfortable. Showers are strong yet noted as slippery, glass bathroom doors reduce privacy, and air-conditioning controls can be confusing.

My biggest issue was how slippery the shower was, I'm surprised I didn't break any bones but did bruise my elbow and arm. I've never slipped in a shower before in my life, I know I'm coming up to 40 but pretty sure it wasn't anything to do with me!! There is no grip at all on the floor of the shower. There is a "warning: slippery" sign but it honestly wasn't clear what the sign was for, I thought it was for floors stepping out of the shower honestly. If you have mobility issues I would strongly recommend DON'T come here unless you don't intend on showering, as it was a bit of a death trap even for myself with no mobility issues!! I decided to bring down the stars to 2 because of that as a hospital visit really would have ruined my trip!

Great budget hotel. Bed was super comfy and bathroom had shampoo/shower gel etc which I wasn’t expecting for the price! Booked the cheapest room so wasn’t surprised to learn it was in the basement so had no windows but that just meant it was dark for sleeping and it had loads of lighting for getting ready. Only downsides were it was below reception so could hear people moving around above, there was only 1 hanger and the bathroom has a glass door so you have to be really comfortable in the presence of the person you share the room with! Overall would definitely recommend this hotel as it was clean, comfortable and within east walking distance of the city centre and arena.

Very clean, bathroom cramped but good shower and all very clean. Aircon works well. But the room is tiny, barely big enough for the double bed. One bathtowel, no hand towel. Two coat hangers, but no shelving. No kettle for tea or coffee. It's ok as a place to crash for the night, if you get a good price.

Nice staff. Good quality. Decent rooms (it's very small with no appliances eg kettle or fridge (but iron is available on request). Mattress are fine (but not best) I took a windowless room (which is in the basement). It's great room...for a single night. The fact that you are in a basement with no sunlight would make it difficult to stay longer. For price, quality and service is great.

All belongings stored on the floor. Luckily only a single night stay. Would not stay here again for more than 1 night

The hotel is what is expected for the price and the bed was comfortable. The shower floors are dangerously slippery with no kind of grip and no mats available. I slipped and fell in the shower hurting myself quite badly but was told there hadn’t been any before and they don’t have onto provide bath mats legally. Reception said they would give me a towel to put on the floor and it didn’t sound like a new occurrence to me.

Hotel was very basic but comfortable. If you have claustrophobia this is not the place for you. The rooms are very small as is the bathroom. No drink making facilities. Whilst the hotel is central this means that the outside noise does cause a disturbance throughout the night. Hotel staff were excellent. On request they provided hair dryer/ extra pillows and towels. A cheaper hotel ideal for.a one night stay.

I was not able to stay at the hotel, I tried to change my date, because of health issues, but they rejected. Nomater that I contacted them a week in advance. I only asked my date to be changed and I can pay the difference, their answer was that I will be fully charged for the both nights and they can't accept my health issue as exception.

I was extremely happy until leaving. I booked a late check out 1pm & at 10am cleaning staff were trying to enter my room waking me up. I explained I'd booked a late check out with management & the cleaning staff had no knowledge of this & were persistent trying to enter the room. At 12:55 the cleaning staff were knocking the door & hanging around outside the door whilst I was brushing my teeth before leaving & packing the last of my luggage. They were extremely rude & unprofessional!. The check in staff were great though, the problem is only with a few of their staff members.

For £33 I couldnt really complain! Was suprised at the rooms they were new clean however I was solo and had a twin room (only option available to book) and the room size would be a tight squeeze for two people with luggage etc but I only needed somewhere to stay for the night as I was up and checked out early. Central location. Easy to find and get into cardiff city centre.
