Cardiff Sandringham Hotel

Excellent central location, friendly and helpful staff, with a warm welcome. Great value for money, very clean despite not being the most modern of hotels. Clearly the owners are rightfully proud of what they offer, and deserve to be too.

The million-euro question is, can you find an affordable hotel and enjoy a good night's sleep there? The answer is: Cardiff Sandringham hotel! I'm always a little bit worried about this, and was so happy at Sandringham. I requested a silent room and received a room not facing the street. The staff was so lovely and they had upgraded my room because of this. And I cannot believe how well the windows blocked the street noise, even though the hotel lies exactly in the city centre. You are literally able to go shopping and come back or visit the castle and have a break in the room and go back and forth and it is so easy. The hotel is in the middle of the city. The staff is amazing. Everyone was so friendly and they also asked about my day. I really felt like a special guest and they cared about my daily tours and plans. It felt like a warm welcome since I was travelling alone. I really recommend this hotel to any single female traveller. You don't have to take any dodgy roads or dark alleys to get to the hotel. The entrance is on a well lit main street and there are 24/7 shops nearby. The hotel reception is also open 24/7. Yet you can sleep comfortably! If I'm ever back in Cardiff I'd love to stay at Sandringham again.

Central location, just minutes from train and bus station. A family run hotel with very friendly accommodating staff. Excellent value for money, we paid £55.00 for a double room for the night. Superb bed linen, very comfy bed making a great nights sleep. Super soft and fluffy towels. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room.

We paid just over £40 per night for a double room in the very centre of the city, during Christmas market season. We knew it wouldn't be the Ritz but it was fantastic value for the price. The staff were all lovely. We didn't try the hotel breakfast but there are plenty of places nearby to get food.

We had a big room and a large bathroom. The receptionists were amazing. So friendly and super interested in us, why we were there what our plans were. Not only to us, but to all customers. One asked about a specific bus and they looked it up on Internet. There were free paper maps to take of just to point locations out, tips and advice. Just very customer friendly and helpful. This makes or breaks a hotel. At checkout time, about 4 or 5 people left their bigger bags/ luggage there for the day ( so we could go off shopping) and yet again, no issues, all good,put them in the corner there. How lovely is that? No extra charge. And this is something you want from a hotel. A friendly person who is keen to help when you are on a trip. Just lovely. On top of this all: we could make our own tea and coffee in the room. It's a 2 star hotel, so I hadn't expected this little extra, but it's a nice little extra and it was clean and good quality teabags and (decaf) coffee, milk and sugar. Just right. And nice. I asked for 2 extra pillows for me and my daughter and we got that. No extra charge.
