Great location in the heart of Cardiff. Outside of building was under construction work and lack of lift is worth considering. Older style accommodation but good size. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Second visit for a two night stay. Room was clean and had everything that I needed. Very good at keeping in contact and responding to messages. And a bonus that you can leave your bag on the day you check out, if you want to spend some more hours in the city before heading home.

Cardiff Sandringham Hotel is in an amazing location! A quick walk to anywhere in the City Centre. The rooms were comfortable, some construction noise during the time I stayed there. However, those aspects are unavoidable at times. Certainly appreciative of the nice staff and location to nearby shops, museums and the castle!

My hotel stay great for the price point I paid. I is very similar to a dorm room style wise and the walls needed some repairs. The staff were lovely and very approachable. My room was quite small but was very functional for getting around town during the day. Would stay again!

This is a cheap and cheerful hotel, manage your expectations and you'll be fine. A short walk from the train station, in the middle of town means the location is great for the price. The hotel is a bit tired but my room was clean, the bed was comfy and the shower strong. Very warm welcome too

Lovely staff and hotel, so friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable and right in the main city centre, lots of bars and restaurants close by, was noisy at night with all the bars and clubbers so close but we learnt to close the windows and have the fan on to block it out, would definitely stay again.

Very good value for an excellent location in central Cardiff. I found it a very safe place to stay as a solo traveller, with 24 hour reception and really lovely staff. The accommodation is basic but clean and had everything I needed.

You get what you paid for. For a 2-star hotel, it is excellent. Perfect location, 6-min walk from the train station, and you are right in the city centre. Steps from the famous historic arcades and Cardiff Market. Their staff, especially Alison, are super friendly and helpful. Yes, it is an old hotel and the facilities may be a bit dated. They use physical keys for the room, and you have to leave your key at reception when you go out. But all of those are fine. The only downside is that the whole building is currently under construction, so there are scaffolds right outside the window, which made me feel a bit insecure.

The Sandringham hotel is located in Cardiff city centre which is a good location as Cardiff Castle is nearby and not too far from the National Museum too and from Cardiff Central railway station as well. The hotel staff were very nice and the hotel has a good standard of cleanliness too. Only issue is that the hotel does need a bit of updating in terms of decor and room facilities. Also, although the hotel is in a great location it is also a bit noisy at night as pubs and restaurants etc. are close to the hotel and I did find it difficult to sleep at night because of the noise issue. It seemed to only get a bit quieter after 3am.
