Travelodge Cardiff Atlantic Wharf

A super expensive stay (2 nights for 204 pounds) but super cheap comfort, service, hygiene. I had the impression to be in Formule 1

Basic layout, but that is all that is needed. Very clean and tidy, bathroom was better than expected worth every penny. Plenty of choice at Breakfast, staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely location plenty of places to eat out too. Definitely return

Very poor. Room basic - no wardrobe nor even shelves on which to put cases and no shelves in the bathroom. No bedside table, merely a niche in the headboard. Bedside lights badly located and very poor - it would be impossible for one person to read while the other tried to sleep as the light would be shining in their eyes. No account was taken of the ambient temperature on my visit, as the duvets were a 10.5 tog rating - far too hot. No air conditioning, unless you opened the window and then you had to contend with the noise of the traffic outside. I paid £141 for a twin room for 2 nights. Breakfast was £7.60 extra each, totalling over £170 for the visit. The previous 2 nights had been spent at the De Vere Hotel in Swansea, where the room was spacious, had wardrobes, the bathroon was large with plenty of shelf space, the breakfasts were included and there was use of the facilities, including gym, sauna, pool etc. All this for £161. No comparison. It will be a long time before I revist Travelodge - if ever!
