Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff

10/10 Excellent
"You cannot get any closer to the train or bus stations. Exceptional location for travel. The hotel offers breakfast on site which is a good price. 10 pounds if you book the day before you want to eat, 14 pounds if you pay that day. Nice breakfast offering the usual continental foods. Very clean and the staff were helpful and courteous. No restaurant on site but close to many options . For a more inexpensive choice of food places, a Whetherspoons in right across the street. There are many menu options and quality is hit and miss but we mostly were satisfied. If there were any issues the staff were happy to correct them. Alcoholic drinks are generally less expensive than other restaurants or bars as well. Take the bus to Cardiff Bay, there’s a great walk way along the water."

"The location of the hotel is spot on for central Cardiff. No parking onsite anymore so had to park in an NCP car park 3 min walk away but cost £30 for 24 hours. Hotel was clean so was room but needed some TLC. Bed was comfortable Only one lift working when we were there so ended up taking the stairs. The hotel has 10 floors. Staff available at reception Overall stay is was good and comfortable for a 3 star hotel"
