Premier Inn Caerphilly - Great Hotel

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Could be a little bit closer to city centre

.... It was first time ever, me and my girlfriend decided to spend a weekend in Premier Inn Caerphilly. We spent there a bank holiday weekend in August. Wanted to book hotel in Cardiff but unfortunately everything was fully booked because of Madonna's concert. Were not really happy because of that but decided to reserve room. Hotel Hotel is placed 7 and half miles away from Cardiff, which is not far. If you have car you can park it for free in hotels parking. If not - there is number 26 bus route every two hours going to Cardiff. The nearest bus stop is only 5 minutes walk from hotel. Breakfast is not included in price of this hotel but you can order it when booking or on site. If you want to treat yourself with full breakfast it will cost you £7.50. You can have as much as you like. They offer some premium pork sausages...

Review of Premier Inn Caerphilly, Cardiff

Premier Inn Caerphilly - Ideal Hotel if on a budget

Advantages: Nice cheap hotel, very clean & comfortable
Disadvantages: none

...I first stayed in this hotel a few years ago because it was the only hotel I could get into for the WRC, we stayed there for a weekend. We had never stayed at a Premier Inn before & we were very pleasantly surprised - the hotel is situated just off a large roundabout, (it is very easy to get to) & we found it very peaceful with no traffic noise what so ever. The hotel is not very far from Cardiff so you can either drive in or the hotel has a bus stop close by and Caerphilly has a train station with a train running to cardiff at regular intervals, due to the horrible one way system in Cardiff we chose to catch the train in, it was only £4ish return & you get off right outside the Millenium Stadium. From the outside the Hotel looked in very good condition & the inside was in just as nice condition, the reception was excellent - friendly...

Premier Inn, Charing Cross Glasgow

Advantages: Close to town and all amenities
Disadvantages: none

...I have never stayed in the Premier Inn before, but I felt I had to share my experience of the past weekend. The staff in both reception and the restaurant were fantastic, they were really helpful and made you feel right at home. The room and bathroom were both spotless, warm and the freeview television meant that my daughter didn't miss her soaps while she was away. The bed was both big and comfortable and we didn't have any trouble getting to sleep. We opted for the breakfast deal and we were not disappointed, the food was well cooked and warm there was also plenty of choice. Access to the hotel was excellent for both able bodied and non-able bodied people, we didn't have a wheelchair but we did have a six month old baby and a pram, and even though it is situated next to Charing Cross rail station we didn't hear a thing from...

A Sophisticated Stay in Cardiff

Advantages: Sophisticated, swimming pool, comfortable
Disadvantages: Expensive

...As you may know by know, I?m always up for a bargain or a free holiday. So when my boyfriend got a free hotel voucher (due to a muck-up on one of his bills) we thought we?d make a weekend of it and have a mini city break. Living in the South our first choice was London, but looking through the list of available hotels we were allowed to choose from somewhere else stood out. Neither of us had ever been to Cardiff and we figured that we were close enough to get there by car and it was be a good excuse to suss it out. Our first choice was the Hilton hotel, but we were offered the Novotel. However, on visiting the city centre and seeing the Hilton from the outside I think I prefer the Novotel now anyway! ~~Location, Location, Location~~ Location is a pretty important factor in choosing a hotel and the Novotel won?t be for everyone...

Cardiff International Arena

Advantages: great location
Disadvantages: expensive inside

...Well i first went to the CIA in Cardiff when i was around 14 years old so a few years ago now. i went to see boyzone there and rememebr thinking omg this place is huge and i was really spun out by it all, it was my first concert and i was just amazed by the atmosphere there. So it wasnt until returning some years later to see westlife twice and blue that my opinion changed! Firstly the CIA is smack bang in the middle of cardiff and is very very easy to get to, it is a short walk from the central train station and is situated around the corner from a NCP car park which is handy but is expensive and you can be queing up for ages to pay for you ticket and then you have to get out of the car park but hey thats another story.(Car parking fees are costly in cardiff generally)! The CIA is home to many events such as concerts...

GET CLASSY IN CARDIFF

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Regular readers of my hotel opinions (I think there are 1 or 2 of you left) will know that on my regular trips around the country I suffer with terrible luck when it comes to selecting a hotel. Well, I am pleased to say that I think I have finally found a hotel that is actually rather good – the Marriott Hotel Cardiff. I visited the hotel a couple of years ago, but unfortunately at the time it was being refitted, so it was a bit of a battlefield. The refit has long since been completed, and this time I was able to enjoy the full range of services that the hotel had to offer. Location The Cardiff Marriott advertises itself as “Cardiff’s Premier Hotel” – a claim that I would wholeheartedly support. It is located in the heart of the city centre – literally staggering distance from the Café...

The Copthorne Hotel - Cardiff

Advantages: Lovely lake side view from one side of the hotel
Disadvantages: Located in a very busy area, with many shops around

...Copthorne Hotel Cardiff Caerdydd Copthorne Way Culverhouse Cross Cardiff Caerdydd CF5 6DH tel: +44 (0)29 2059 9100 fax: +44 (0)29 2059 9080 email: sales.cardiff@mill-cop.com I recently stayed the night at this hotel, I normally stay in travelodges because you always know what your getting but I thought id give myself a change and stay somewhere abit more fancier. The hotel although quite new is very traditional in style. To the back of the hotel is a very large lake with ducks and a nice wooden patio overlooking it with plenty of seating. This is just off from the bar area so im sure in the summer months it is very relaxing and peaceful to sit out there and have a drink, however I was unable to do so as it was February and cold! One half of the hotel overlooks the lake and the other overlooks the car park and the many shops...

Premier DS-5080

Advantages: Cost-effective, lightweight, excellent photo quality
Disadvantages: Disadvantages!?!

...Back in March, I was in need of a digital camera, but was looking for one that wouldn't break the bank...Ideally, the Premier DS-5080 5 Mega Pixel camera is on the market then! For a camera of such image quality, I was somewhat taken aback that the retail price was just shy of the £100 mark. Excellent! The first thing that instantly struck me was the weight of it. Lightweight, if possible to say so, is an understatement! Its thin silver body with sliding lens cover and flat LCD monitor ensure that there is little "excess" materials used in the making of it. As the image of the product shows, it's streamline look is very attractive and pleasing to look at and use. Sliding the lens cover will switch it on and then you have the fun of the very straight-forward menu, that I must confess, I was able to use and navigate around...

Curlies in cardiff.

Advantages: Just off the motorway, close to the City
Disadvantages: Room in need of a clean

...To celebrate our tenth anniversary we decided to go away for the weekend without our children. With money being very tight, Innkeepers Lodge was our first choice. We have stayed in them before and have always found it to be good value for money. We wanted to take advantage of their 'three for the price of two' offer, so although our anniversary is April we went away in March as the offer ended at the end of the month. (It has now been extended until October) The first thing I did was visit their website, www.innkeeperslodge.com, this gave me a list of all the locations where the offer was available. Prices vary according to location, but are usually competitive compared to similar places. Especially as breakfast is included in the price, and soap and shampoo are provided in the room. We decided to stay at the Cardiff Lodge as...

"Warning" be careful when 'Cancelling' a booking!!!

Advantages: to warn other members
Disadvantages: unfortunateley The premier inn is not upto its standards

...Dear Readers, Unfortunately, I have to write a review to warn people when cancelling a booking at 'The Premier Inn' - Cardiff West, to make sure you keep a Cancellation Reference until the date you previously made the booking date have passed! Back in March, I provisionally made a booking, because I wanted tickets for a U2 gig @ the Millennium Stadium but unfortunately I only managed to get tickets for Sheffield Arena....So, come April when the venue was confirmed, I phoned The Premier Inn - Cardiff West and spoke to a lady and requested she cancel my booking under the name of Tuson "Right Mr Tuson I have your booking in front of me & I will go ahead and cancel that for you" she replied, So I politely said over the phone "Thanks very much - Bye" I thought nothing else of it until this Morning I Received a Bank statement showing...
