Powered by AI
Travelodge Cardiff Central enjoys commendations for its prime location amidst Cardiff's bustling transport, shopping, and nightlife scene, although the vibrant atmosphere sometimes leads to noisy nights as some guests have pointed out. While the central location is a highlight, opinions on the rooms and amenities vary; reports of uncleanliness and a need for refurbishment are common, despite some travelers finding their accommodations satisfactory.
Service experiences also differ, with instances of both friendly interactions and frustration over sluggish service. Overall, the hotel offers a basic stay, appreciated for its affordability but critiqued for its upkeep and noise.

Detailed Reviews
Thought I’d give Travelodge a go instead of its major competitor. And I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I opted for Plus room which came with a good quality coffee machine. Nice.
The hotel feels fresh and modern with really friendly staff. The room was a decent size, super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Slept really well. Bathroom was spotless.
Location is very good for restaurants, shops and bars. There’s no restaurant in the hotel (hence my 4/5 rating) but they offer a breakfast-to-go box which was good enough for me.
I’m back in Cardiff for another course this week and I’ve rebooked this hotel. Extremely good value for money.

Convenient location for the train station and easy access to the Utilita Arena. all other bars and restaurants are right on the doorstep. Hotel was clean, comfortable and good value for money. Paid a little bit more to get a super room. Well worth it. Would stay here again.

Perfect for nights out in Cardiff or for sightseeing as the hotel is in the middle of everything you need. Slightly noisy till early in the morning because of people coming in from a good night out.

Had a reservation for 1 night (booked direct with Travelodge). Arrived in the morning and asked to drop our luggage off as we were too early to check in. When we arrived after a show later that night, were told that they had overbooked.
Despite their obligation to provide alternative accomodation and provide relevant transport, they were quite happy to leave us to sleep on the reception area floor (no furniture -not even a chair). Can only assume their reception area is designed to keep out homeless people, as the AC was on full blast, as was the shambolic music.
I had had a few drinks so couldn't drive 2 hours home. It quite literally felt like hell on earth so many thanks for your hospitality.
Yours faithfully,
Dr S. W. Sutton

The location is great as it’s just around the corner from the station. I stayed because of a conference at the stadium, which is also just around the corner!
The reception staff were lovely which meant the check in and check out was very smooth and easy. The room was very comfortable, I’m a fussy sleeper, but I slept soundly all night. I’d definitely recommend staying there.
