Lovely hotel

The location of the hotel is amazing, very close the Cardiff central station making it the best place to stay. The room is clean with no complicated check in/check out process.

We came to visit the National Gallery which was easily accessible from the hotel and the railway station.I have walking issues but everything was so conveniently accessible.The bed was excellent-no lumpy mattresses etc.-and afforded a good night's sleep.We appreciated being able to make tea and coffee in our room.The view of the stadium was inspiring-an interesting architectural building-and we could enjoy the sound of ducks on the river Taff!. Altogether a very happy experience.Thank you.Martin and Lucie

Our room was clean and tidy and nice and warm, nice hot shower, good job. Could have done with some coat hooks on the wall and maybe sound proofed but overall pretty good.

A little private gem in the heart of Cardiff

Comfortable stay, easy check-in, very kind and helpful front desk personnel and within 5-minute walk to Cardiff Castle, restaurants (Pasture and The Welsh House) and 8-minute walk to Bute Park! Best location, everything within walking distance.

Welcoming and professional helpful staff. I've stayed at a couple of premiere inns and this one was by far the best. Not only was the layout really good and facilities not just rescrited to the rooms but overall design spacious.

All as it should be

Nice and centrally located hotel. Room was nice and spacious with Tea and Coffee making facilities, TV and a bathroom with shower. Everything one needs for a stay. Centre of town only 10 Minutes away on foot. Easy and fast check-in and out!

Cardiff accommodation

The place is ideally situated not far from the main streets for shopping, restaurants and pubs. Car parking is easy in the street, £14 for 24hrs. Our room was a nice size with a very comfortable bed, but the only complaint was the awful smell from the shower/toilet as the drains needed a serious clean.

Nice little place

Brilliant little place to stay, good for just coming and going when you need without the hassle of keys. Parking was ok outside on the road. Very clean and tidy, just no hot water in the sink tap which was weird as you cant wash unless having a shower but overall great place to stay for a cheap short stay.

Ideal cost effective layover

Perfectly cost-effective option for an overnight stay/layover. You get exactly what you pay for however, the room's could really do with a fabric conditioner so there's no linger smoke smell which was off-putting and the reason why it's not getting full marks. Great central location opposite the stadium

Great location, but weird the facilities

Great location, staff are nice. But the hot water is very unstable, never hot enough, even though I have to switch it on 25 minutes prior, which is waste of water. I have requested a king bed, but they have only put 2 twin beds together which is not very comfortable. They charged ￡5 for luggage storage, which usually i have offered dor free in other hotels.

Nice place but could do with a little work.

Loverly room nice and clean a couple of patches of mold in bathroom but tbh the room is so small and hot with no airflow it is not surprising. Checking in was a bit of fiasco staff really did not like being disturbed but was sorted after they read my checking in email and looking at their records

The bed was broken in my room No.10, It had a big ridge running down the middle. I was moved to another room which was better although the bed wasnt perfect it was better for sleeping. There is a constant hum of a fan which you can hear at night

Wisestay is close to the city centre, it's a 5 minute walk. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room was clean and tidy. Great for a weekend break.

Nice, an area slightly out of city centre so may want to head back before it gets too dark, but great for the price.

Small but convenient

Tiniest room I've ever stayed in but fine for little me for three nights as overlooking river and just a few minutes walk into city centre.

Good quality lodgings.

Top-drawer in every way. Pleased to see the microwave and extra hot/cold drink available, too. Well organised room, comfortable although a slightly thicker mattress would be appreciated and detracted from the quality feel. The only down side I faced (and not much the hotel could do about it even if asked) was that when I opened my windows, the smell of weed being smoked by neighbours was pervasive and I had to close the windows on a warm night.
