Great location, great stay, wonderful staff

Had a fantastic stay at the Sandringham. We travelled by train and the hotel is within easy walking distance of the station. It is also centrally located so again all local attractions and bars and restaurants within walking distance. It is also easy to get a bus to and from Cardiff Bay from a bus stop just down the road. Rooms are basic but have everything you need and more supplies of tea/coffee etc are easily available from reception. There is no lift, but this did not cause us a problem. On arrival a member of staff actually carried our case to the room for us. Great value for money. What really made our stay here so great though was Alison on reception and all of the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful to me and my autistic son. They really went the extra mile. Would definitely recommend and would have no hesitation in staying here again.

Nothing positive to say about this hotel . Room very poor, no doors on wardrobe, no chest of drawers, bed mattress poor. Shower really poor. We can only judge our room as didn't go into any other areas of the hotel. We vacated to another hotel at obviously our own expence to a superior hotel after 2 nights as couldn't stand staying another night. We will never return to this hotel .......ever.

I never got inside the hotel as I was refused entry on the grounds I was drunk. So obviously people who are going to the pubs/clubs of Cardiff must not drink!

This is the second time I've stayed at this little family run hotel. It was lovely that they remembered me. I arrived before check in, but there was no problem leaving my case and rucksack there while I explored the castle area of Cardiff. When I returned, several hours later, my luggage had already been taken up to my room. What this hotel lacks in mod cons, it more than mskes up for in convenience, caring, friendliness abd value for money. There is no lift, which can be a big problem for the disabled, I myself suffer from arthritis. I've had both hips replaced and I'm waiting for an ooeration on my knee and I manage ok. Last time I was on the second floor, this time the first, which I very much appreciated. It really wouldn't be possible to install a lift in this old building. But, if youre looking for a hotel within walking distance of all the main attractions of Cardiff and you're looking for a bargain, then this is the hotel for you. I will certainly be back.

Just to make you aware there are no lifts at this property. The issue was resolved quickly and I was moved to a room on the same level as reception.

I slept well.

I just needed a place to sleep. I got in late, had a bath & a coffee using the rooms facilities then watched tv for a bit before going to sleep. I was out early in the morning. The bed was comfy ‘ the receptionist was friendly. He stored my bike away for the night.

Nice and affordable hotel. Lovely staff.

The lady at reception was very kind and complimentary. Made us feel welcome. The room had all the amenities youd night while away from home. The rooms are a little outdated and personal preference the bed was too firm for me. All round a good hotel; affordable pricing and 24hr staff. Would return.
