We stayed here because of the rugby. Was nice and close to the Stadium and city centre, easy walk and an easy stumble back from the nightlife Rooms were very large and spacious - a group of us went and we had a budget room and one of a higher quality that we had to pay a little more for.... more

I stayed one night with my girlfriend (ages 30, 28) as went to a show at the Millenium Centre. Not impressed at all and the website photos certainly don't live up to the reality Ok, location is good and the place is brightly coloured, but that's about it in terms of perks. We booked through another site that gave this... more

This is a good hotel in terms of location, but overall I was rather disappointed. I'm supposed to be staying there for 3 weeks for work, but I am changing hotels for the next 2 weeks rather than return. The hotel has a small car park, which is good, but in certain places other cars can block you in, which... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in this hotel as we were going to an R.E.M concert at Cardiff International Arena. The location was ideal (literally across the road) and it is also good for the city centre, we walked it in about 5-10 mins. We found the hotel easily, and as we had been advised about the minimal parking before... more

My partner and I chose to stay at the Big Sleep, Cardiff, for an event at the castle. My thinking was that it initially seemed good value for money and I was sold on the idea that this was a designer hotel, but on a budget. How wrong I was! The place is, to be frank, GHASTLY. Design hotel? Contemporary... more

We were disappointed with this hotel, especially as we had to pay £11 for car parking as there was no space outside and a risk of being clamped. We found the room very basic and the curtains were very shabby. On the positive side, the breakfast was quite good and the staff were pleasant. more

We had a twin room and thought the decor was 'funky' (we're both in our 40's!). However, with the paper thin walls we first got awoken at 1.30am by the next two rooms hammering on each others doors and slamming the doors shut and talking loudly etc. After ringing the manager, he duly came up and asked them to keep... more

My friend and myself decided to stay at the Big Sleep for one night as we were travelling from Glasgow for the Madonna concert. Positives - to be honest I can't think of many! One though, we had an LCD TV. Negatives - 1, Hair in the bath when we arrived in the room, reception did not care and did... more
