Comfortable and Modern Stay
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The design was simple yet modern, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The room was well-maintained, featuring a spacious and comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean and well-equipped, adding to the overall comfort. A great choice for a straightforward and enjoyable stay!

They say they do the basics well and everything else is a bonus, and I'd agree. The room was bigger than I expected, with a full size shower. Single bed was surprisingly comfortable, heating easy to work, room clean and quiet despite being the first on the corridor next to a main access door. Breakfast was a simple bacon or sausage roll, with a tea or coffee- don't expect the usual Premier Inn buffet- but it was available to eat in or take away, which is handy for those who need to be on the road early. Check out is at midday, which is lovely and late compared to a lot of hotels. Free parking in a secure car park (barrier in, you have to enter a code to get back out.) It's simple, cheap and cosy, but definitely a better option than a hostel or similarly priced B&B!

A clean, comfortable room with everything I needed from a convenient place to sleep. Little things showed this was more than just a budget hotel - decent soap and shower gel, good pressure from the shower, plenty of sockets and quiet, effective air conditioning (welcomed during a heatwave!). The staff were friendly too. Would definitely stay here again.

Incredible value for money budget hotel. Clean and tidy with super friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are basic but totally fine for a couple of nights stay - I would describe them as like sleeping in a high end (big) camper van. Breakfast is cheap and cheerful (Bacon/Sausage Bap plus tea/coffee/water) but very reasonably priced and good quality products. I can't believe this is the only ZIP hotel in the UK! Madness!

Great value, competent friendly staff, ideal for a short stay ,would recommend for a short city break . Rooms are small but adequate, would probably recommend a double room even if on your own ,still great value. Don't go expecting the Hilton for what you are paying

Decided that I wouldn't manage the drive home after a show in Cardiff so literally just needed a bed for the night. This place was perfect... the rooms are tiny pods with bed and a small shower unit and a dunny. At £31 for the night it was considerably cheaper than anywhere else in the area.

It was compact which was the point ,I had everything I needed .I would just take a kettle next time but there is hot water for your own hot drinks free at the bar . The price for a Saturday night was unbeatable and I slept really well as all premier in beds are amazing ..I want one !

Room is really small.if you just want a bed to sleep in this is the place.no room to walk around in the room you open the door and the bed is there. When you get out the shower you have to dry off in the bedroom.when you go toilet you have to leave door open for room. I ended up in my van at 4 am to go sleep the seat was more comfortable than the bed!!!!!
