We booked this through a group for a hen night, it isn't that close the centre like it makes out but you can walk it in about 15/20 minutes. The reception were helpful except they wouldnt arrange a taxi for us, but then for the money we paid it was worth it. the rooms are small but clean, the beds... more

The staff were friendly and the room was basic but comfortable. It was within a short walk of the city centre (5 mins), Cardiff Bay (15 mins), Millenium Stadium (10 mins). The staff were friendly and helpful. You do have to pay extra for parking, tea/coffee and breakfast. But £3 a day for city centre parking is a bargain. £1.20... more

I was very worried when i booked this hotel after reading the reviews. I was impressed as i worry re staying in dirty hotels. We were welcomed on arrival and the manager personally sowed me how to get to the car park - situated at the rear of the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed linen was... more

I stayed at the Etap over the bank holiday weekend just gone a long with 9 other girls for my hen weekend, we were there for two nights. The location of the hotel is perfect, just 5 minute walk to Cardiff city centre and about 20 mins walk to Cardiff Bay. I would recommend that you take your own pillow... more

The Etap is essentially one step up from a youth hostel, but that isn't meant negatively. Rooms have very basic furniture and decor, but are clean and reasonably comfortable. By far the cheapest hotel in Cardiff that I would ever go near! more

My friends and I had 3 rooms booked at this hotel for a birthday weekend in Cardiff from Friday to Sunday. The hotel isn't quite what I call centrally located although it is pretty easy to walk to the city centre/station once you know the way and your probably looking at a 10-15min which isn't too tretcherous, even late at... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel on a Friday night as we were going out with friends in Cardiff. The location is really good just a short walk to city centre with good secure car-park. Room was clean basic but had everything we needed. The hotel was busy with lots of people going out, but we didn't hear... more

The hotel is in a good location, walking distance from the city centre. The rooms are clean and basic as you would expect for the price. The only problem was we stayed on the same floor as a group of stags ..which fair enough you would expect to make a bit of noise but nothing compared to these guys!!!They were... more

People should be aware of just how awful and extremely poor value these hotels are! Although you pay £35 p.night initially, you cannot stay without spending a lot more! There are no tea making facilities in your room, and drinks from their machine cost £1.20 each. Car parking is charged at £2 p.n. and breakfast is £3 p.person so compared... more
