Overall we had a good stay at Future Inns. We had a family room, with loads of space and it was very clean. All staff were friendly and helpful when needed and check-in and out was really smooth. Breakfast was decent and the hotel's location was perfect for visiting Cardiff over 2-3 days.

Good value for money. Good location for visiting the Wales Millennium Centre and within walking distance of the restaurants and bars at the waterfront. The location is not pretty and you won’t get a room with a view.

Megan

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Pros: buffet breakfast (since is a little walk to other restaurants/cafes), very helpful and kind staff, good location close to bay, hot water with good pressure, price, A/C Cons: dated rooms, bathroom grout badly needs cleaning, dirty drinking glasses in room I'd probably stay there again if on a tight budget. It does look like a lot of construction is starting in that area though so check for noise and traffic.

A very clean and welcoming room, the staff were both warm and helpful. The breakfast was an excellent way to begin your day being of good quality with plentiful choice. We are both pleased we booked and stayed at the Futures Inn, Cardiff and all being well will certainly use this hotel again as one of our grandchildren begins life at Cardiff University .

Great welcome from FoH staff, easy and plentiful parking, large clean and comfortable rooms, corridors clear (but a little hot and stuffy) and room window opened a bit but as next to the flyover/road it was a bit noisy and not a fan of car fumes dirty dust etc. Breakfast selection excellent and super fresh. Two double beds with bathroom £78 ... brilliant Great stop over for using the Millennium Centre to see a show. And wish I'd known if booking tickets to see some shows you get a discount at this hotel if book direct and prove show bookings. Worth knowing for future and will check.
