At least Fawlty Towers had Basil to liven the place up. Whilst not quite being in the Michael Palin category I have stayed at quite a few hotels across the world and this hotel (Bed and Breakfast) must rank as the most unwelcoming and barely basic I have experienced. Having chosen not to visit the London Dungeon, it was rather... more

Firstly, I would stay at this location again. My sister and I had taken a bus in from the airport to Victoria Station and wished that in the tube directions to the hotel that it had mentioned that not all stations have lifts/elevators. Unfortunately for us, this was our first time coming to London so we had no prior experience... more

As an Australian looking for somewhere to stay whilst visiting England, Cardiff Hotel looked decent. Three days in all of my valuables were stolen. As a traveler you would expect a hotel has their security organised, but after having in excess of 2000 pounds worth of goods (including laptop/mobile phone etc) stolen directly from your room, whilst 2 other rooms... more

As others have said, this hotel offers decent no frills accommodations for a reasonable price, considering the location. Positives: 1) Room was quiet (in back of building,but I think even street-side rooms would be quiet because of the location on a square). 2) The staff were extremely helpful. An employee carried my bags up to the top floor (since there... more

The staff were nice and the breakfast was great. There are many places nearby that were less expensive but I didn't look at the accomodations. No shampoo, no big deal, just bring your own. I bought internet time and didn't use it all up so first come first serve to use the rest up. Probably 5 hours or so left... more

First - the location. Upon arriving by train at Paddington station, the Hotel is situation in the perfect location - just a few yards off the hustle and bustle of Praed Street. Quiet enough to enable peaceful sleep, but close enough to life and transport links. The staff were civil, but didn't immediately give the impression that they particularly wanted... more

We stayed in room number one, down stairs (X2 Adults and X2 Children). Room smelt mouldy and was not very modern and very basic. The shower room was very small and was not inviting at all, we showered as quick as we could. Glad we only stayed one night. The staff were nice and the breakfast was also nice and... more

Stayed in Room #4 in early March 2008. The staff was kind enough to accomodate my request for a quiet room in the back. Although I had booked a single ensuite, I was given a double. Overall, the room was bland and outdated but fine for just one night. For longer stays, this room would become rather depressing. No lamps,... more

The Cardiff Hotel was ok - The service was good the breakfast was good. Staff were pleasant and friendly. The only let down was the room. Its was smallish but not a problem. But the bed was well past its sell buy date (lumpy and worn) and the en-suite was tiny. The shower unit had "duck" tape around the bottom... more

I think it is an axcellent choice, it is really clean, breakfast is perfect, staff is nice, and it is an excellent point to move around, actually I´m returning in 2008 summer again. more
