The hostel itself is looking tired and its location isn't particularly convenient, being some way outside the city centre. Buses back to the hostel in the evening run once an hour so you might want to consider taxis. Parking is tight, with limited spaces, after that it's roadside parking opposite. We were sleeping in a 14-bedded dormitory, didn't realise the... More

I stayed over for 2 nights, sans meals. The staff members were friendly and it's nice that I was able to check in late in the day. The room itself is fairly clean (I shared with 6 other people I do not know) and unlike other reviews, my stay was fortunately quiet. The bed is rather uncomfortable and the pillow... More

I came for a 3 night stay up at Cardiff for a youth trip. Firstly, the rooms, the rooms were okay. The bed's were made of foam which did not go down well with me! The thought of that you had to make your own bed was an awful idea. I stayed in room 2 which was placed right next... More

My husband and 2 boys (14 and 3) have just spent 2 nights at The Village Hotel in Cardiff. We were a little worried with some of the other reviews about noise etc, but need not have worried at all. Everything was great. Room 601 was in the new wing and plenty big enough for the 4 of us. The... More

Having read some of the reviews on Tripadvisor I was a little apprehensive. I booked two nights bed and breakfast in one of their king rooms and got a good rate direct with the hotel. It was a little difficult to find as I forgot to take directions. Car parking is vast as is the hotel. Our king room was... More

Stayed here for two weeks on business with colleagues from Ireland and the UK. After we were served chicken that was still blood red inside and cold Steak and Kidney pies we never ate there again. Fusty smelling Verve lounge area and sticky unclean tables were a huge dissapointment. My shower was unclean and had a brown film all over... More

I'm naming the review benefit of the doubt as I very nearly gave the hotel 3 out of 5. The Hotel offers very good facilities, including a leisure complex, pub (with bar food) and a restaurant. We found check-in to be quick and friendly and the reception area had a nice buzz about it. Also, for a city hotel it... More

The Village is part of the Village hotel chain, in which I stayed several times. I found out it is really all standardized: you will not notice the difference when being in either Cardiff, Birmingham or where-ever. So on the plus side, you know what to expect. On the min side: it is not really personalized. Rooms are ok, not... More
