Filthy, noisy and depressing possibly one of the worst hotels ever, I have stayed in better in India. This hotel is a total let down. Didn't even bother with the breakfast went across the road to Pret, do not book this hotel unless you are 18 and want a night out in Cardiff. The decor is hideous do not be... More

Room looked tired and in desperate need of some attention. This place is OK for getting your head down for a bit and thats just about it. The fire alarm sounded twice during my stay, when i questioned the receptionist about it, she blamed it on a hen party but there was no appologie from her. Parking is very very... More

Woken by late-night revellers returning to their rooms at 5am (they didn’t quieten down until closer to 6am),... More

Visited Cardiff for a football match and needed somewhere "cheap and cheerfull" to stay. I selected the Big sleep on price and position and was not dissappointed. Arrived and was able to park at the hotel, but beware as there are 80+ rooms and only 20 odd parking spaces. The charge to park overnight is £6.00 and a pound for... More

Right - the Big Sleep is an office block made into a hotel. The bed was spotless because the sheets etc are white and I looked. Bed was fresh and nice. Price amazing £87 for THREE nights for two people with breakfast with booking.com and I think also you get to frequent a health club around the corner free in... More
