Best location, everything within walking distance. ##### Maria B Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### All as it should be Nice and centrally located hotel. Room was nice and spacious with Tea and Coffee making facilities, TV and a bathroom with shower. Everything one needs for a stay. Centre of town only 10 Minutes away on foot. Easy and fast check-in and out! ##### Oliver Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Welcoming and professional helpful staff. I've stayed at a couple of premiere inns and this one was by far the best. Not only was the layout really good and facilities not just rescrited to the rooms but overall design spacious. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great staff assistance! ##### Bryan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicolai Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Nicolai Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good quality lodgings. Top-drawer in every way. Pleased to see the microwave and extra hot/cold drink available, too. Well organised room, comfortable although a slightly thicker mattress would be appreciated and detracted from the quality feel. The only down side I faced (and not much the hotel could do about it even if asked) was that when I opened my windows, the smell of weed being smoked by neighbours was pervasive and I had to close the windows on a warm night. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Mar 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wisestay is close to the city centre, it's a 5 minute walk. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room was clean and tidy. Great for a weekend break. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### andre Jul 31, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### andre Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shaun Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cardiff accommodation The place is ideally situated not far from the main streets for shopping, restaurants and pubs. Car parking is easy in the street, £14 for 24hrs. Our room was a nice size with a very comfortable bed, but the only complaint was the awful smell from the shower/toilet as the drains needed a serious clean. ##### Shaun Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was great Central location to town, train station, tv reception wasnt great ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Saige Mar 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice, an area slightly out of city centre so may want to head back before it gets too dark, but great for the price. ##### Saige Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ninel Feb 12, 2025 Liked: Amenities Good ##### Ninel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### CAROLE Sep 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy check in with code.

Beds comfortable ##### CAROLE Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Small but convenient Tiniest room I've ever stayed in but fine for little me for three nights as overlooking river and just a few minutes walk into city centre. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony Apr 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice little place Brilliant little place to stay, good for just coming and going when you need without the hassle of keys. Parking was ok outside on the road. Very clean and tidy, just no hot water in the sink tap which was weird as you cant wash unless having a shower but overall great place to stay for a cheap short stay. ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Ideal cost effective layover Perfectly cost-effective option for an overnight stay/layover. You get exactly what you pay for however, the room's could really do with a fabric conditioner so there's no linger smoke smell which was off-putting and the reason why it's not getting full marks. Great central location opposite the stadium ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Louise Mar 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property was clean and well equipped, and the shower was good. It was noisy however - the walls are thin, and much detail of our 'neighbours', both to the side and above could be heard. I would, however book again, and hope it was a little less noisy. ##### Louise Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We stayed as a family of four in the XL bunk bed room. The room was spacious, clean, and the beds were comfy. The room is next to the front door so can be a bit noisy but you expect a certain amount when in a hotel. As per other reviews the walls are a bit thin, but I would stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### George Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The WiseStays in Cardiff is a brilliant location. Walkable to the town centre and castle. It's also only a 25 mins walk to Cardiff Bay. So if you want to be in heart of town, this is the place. Also the street parking isn't too bad. I was able to find parking every time I needed to but it's not guaranteed. Street parking is paid 3.50 an hour from 8am-6pm Mon to Sat and 10am-6pm Sunday. The accommodation is a basic bed sit. An old terrace house where each room has been made into you sleeping accommodation for the evening. It's old and basic but everything was clean and in working condition. The whole place is practical with nothing fancy. I was impressed with their communication. It was all done via messages. Very proactive and good clear instructions to get in. So it's a good place, just a little old with nothing fancy to mention. ##### George Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Geraint Aug 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very close to the river taff and Millennium Stadium. Mattress was very hollow ##### Geraint Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rodgers Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Could be better Check in was fine. Stated WiFi in my room couldn’t even be found on the search. Water could be heard running through pipes the whole night which made sleeping nearly impossible. ##### Rodgers Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### CW Nov 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, but weird the facilities Great location, staff are nice. But the hot water is very unstable, never hot enough, even though I have to switch it on 25 minutes prior, which is waste of water. I have requested a king bed, but they have only put 2 twin beds together which is not very comfortable. They charged ￡5 for luggage storage, which usually i have offered dor free in other hotels. ##### CW Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### martin May 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness #### It was fine My stop at wise stay cardiff was fine, it was only for 1 night, the room was very small but I only paid £40. It had coffee available, would not want to stay longer than 1 night because of the size of the room. It was clean and easy access via a code sent to me. ##### martin Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rowan Jun 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location, 5 minute walk from city centre and castle. We had a medium room which was very small (enough room to just about walk round the bed with 1 small suitcase). Suited us as we only used the room to sleep. For the price we paid you couldn't really fault it. Tea/coffee in the room and also near reception with take out cups. The only thing I'd suggest to improve it is a lick of paint as the walls in the room were very damaged - this would make the rooms feel more cared for and give an overall better impression. I'd stay again and I've recommended to my parents (but a large room). ##### Rowan Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Wayne Sep 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place but could do with a little work. Loverly room nice and clean a couple of patches of mold in bathroom but tbh the room is so small and hot with no airflow it is not surprising. Checking in was a bit of fiasco staff really did not like being disturbed but was sorted after they read my checking in email and looking at their records ##### Wayne Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Sheraton-Vancouver-Wall-Centre.h11699.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Waterton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterton-Park-Hotels.d181753.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Sofitel-Rome-Villa-Borghese.h9234.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels.d10578.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6127335-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Vallartasol](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Hotel-Vallartasol.h551970.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.ca/Cardiff-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Cardiff.h2609745.Hotel-Information) > > [Wabasca Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Wabasca-Desmarais-Hotels-Wabasca-Inn.h16431115.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Admiral Digby Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Royal-Hotels-Admiral-Digby-Inn.h4322723.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Cardiff City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cardiff-City-Centre.h526111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Frankfurt](https://www.expedia.ca/Frankfurt-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aFRA-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Resol Trinity Hakata](https://www.expedia.ca/Fukuoka-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Trinity-Hakata.h4562979.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-The-Westin-Bayshore.h14477.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near St. Mark's Square](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Marks-Square-Hotels.0-l503200-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Trieste](https://www.expedia.ca/Trieste-Hotels.d6055132.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Atrium Hotel Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Atrium-Inn-Vancouver.h7557.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/yzf/st-johns-to-yellowknife) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/nrt/montreal-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Toulouse (TLS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/tls/paris-to-toulouse) > > [Flights from Athens (ATH) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ath/dbv/athens-to-dubrovnik) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Cali (CLO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/clo/ottawa-to-cali) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Madrid (MAD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/mad/vancouver-to-madrid) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in United Kingdom](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-United-Kingdom.d190.Car-Rental-Destinations) ### Activities > [Things to do in Ucluelet](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Ucluelet.d57274.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Vacation Rentals > [Terceira Island Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Terceira-Island-Vacation-Rentals.d3404.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals)
