The hotel is generally well maintained & presentable. The single room was clean, comfortable, well appointed & an adequate size. Unfortunately, it was hot & stuffy with no fan & rather noisy as it faced a busy main road (had to keep the window open due to the hot weather). The location of the hotel is good, about 15 minutes walk from the city centre.

I stayed at this hotel during a period when temperatures were over 30°C, and I was genuinely shocked that the hotel couldn’t provide even a single fan. When I called reception, I was simply told to open the window. Anyone who has stayed in hotels like this knows the windows only open a small amount, and the building traps heat, making the room unbearably hot.

The staff claimed that all fans were “sold out,” which I find very difficult to understand. This wasn’t an unexpected heatwave—summer happens every year. I even checked Amazon while I was there, and fans were readily available to buy. It’s disappointing that the hotel didn’t prepare for such a predictable situation or make any effort to look after guests’ comfort.

What made the experience even worse was the attitude of the staff. Instead of showing empathy or trying to offer an alternative solution, they spoke rudely and made me feel like my concerns didn’t matter.

I would not recommend staying here during the summer unless the hotel improves its facilities and customer service. A hotel should be prepared for seasonal weather and treat its guests with respect.

This is not a glamorous destination hotel, but it is an immaculate and welcoming haven for travellers to Cardiff, and the perfect option for my daughter and I while we packed up and cleaned her student accommodation. The beds were very comfortable and the secure parking, locked from 10 pm to 7 am, meant that we could load up the car and park at the hotel, without extra charge (£25/night at most central hotels but complimentary for Tanes residents) the night before leaving without worrying about security. Btw, big up to the Sparrow Coffee House round the corner on Four Elms Road for an excellent start to our day with a warm greeting, coffee and danish pastries.
Overall, the Tanes Hotel was excellent value for our needs.
Note to US visitors from an ex-NY resident: walking 30+ mins in the EU is normal to access local amenities. The Tanes is at least a 15 min walk from the city’s excellent pubs and restaurants and well worth the exercise. Alternatively there are plenty of local taxi/Uber services which afford the experience of meeting local colourful characters while en route - the Welsh love a chat. Embrace the cultural difference - you might even have fun! Croeso i gymru! X

Room was extremely hot but uk was having a heat wave no fan. Noise from the road with windows open. Small compacted room for single travellers. I think there's damp / mold behind the wall paper. By the bed wall paper peeling could see black mole, also near window. This was a one night stay and Cardiff was busy. I feel the room be cheaper, but your probably paying for location. I wouldn't stay again as there are bigger better places with breakfast available if i had booked earlier.

We were kindly greeted upon arrival, despite the late time and shown to our room. The check in and out process were also very simple.

There were convenient shops nearby too.

We would definitely recommend Tanes Hotel and would absolutely book again the next time we visit Cardiff!

My initial review provided four stars. This was based on the cost, the minor issues I experienced and the reassurances of the manager when I emailed him.

This, my second review, has resulted in me downgrading the hotel from four stars to three as a result of those same factors. My hotel room was slightly more expensive on this occasion, a minor issue from my previous visit was not rectified despite the manager's reassurance and a significant new issue arose.

The new issue was that the hotel window was not secured. I dropped my bags off in my room and left as usual. I did not check the security of the room as I assumed that there was no need. I expect my door to be lockable and window already locked. Unfortunately, after a long day in Cardiff, I returned to my room to discover a cold draught. I located the source. It was a bedroom window which could not be locked. It led onto a fire escape. Therefore, my room could have been accessed by a stranger when I left my property there in the afternoon or when I slept at night.

As a result of this issue, which prompted safety concerns as well as issues with cold and noise, I sent an email to the owner. His reply \"Unfortunately, I have lost my regular handyman and have just now recruited a part-time replacement. We will do our very best to get to it.\" did not placate me.

In my opinion, a room which is not secure, should not be let out. I expected more.

This is a hostel and not a hotel. There are no breakfast facilities, no lounges, etc as shown in the photos. The building is very tired and smells of damp.
Our room had a threadbare carpet, the radiator didn’t work so the room was ridiculously hot, the mattress was old and lumpy, water stains on the ceiling, no plug in the sink, toilet stained brown……need I continue! The paving outside was very slippery and a death trap.
To polish off a terrible stay, another guest blocked the car park and we were stuck in the car park for 40 mins with the manager refusing to find out who owned the car to move it. The manager seemed far more concerned about the other guest and couldn’t care less if we were stuck in the car park all morning.
We paid a lot of money to stay here for an event at the Utilita Arena (they had obviously elevated the price) and it is not what it says it is at all. I’m afraid I cannot understand the highly rated reviews at all.

We only needed a bed for the night for a party near Cardiff. To that end it was adequate, just. We had a tiny room which even for our short stay was a squeeze. The place was clean enough although the interior is rather dated. The car park only houses about 5 cars, is accessed by an unnamed alley to the rear of the hotel and is not recommended unless you have a pretty small car. Our welcome was a little jaded. All in all just about adequate for small stay but can't really understand the reviews that are higher than this.

Comfortable Hotel Close to Cardiff Central

The hotel was absolutely lovely, and the staff were wonderful. Tony, in particular, was incredibly kind and very helpful. Check-in was quick and straightforward. We were handed our keys and left to settle in, which my husband and I really appreciated.

Our room was great overall. There were a few marks on the wall and ceiling, likely from a previous water leak, but otherwise it was comfortable and well-equipped, with tea and coffee facilities provided which was a nice touch. The only downside was that our toilet stopped flushing after the first use, so we had to use the shared bathroom down the hall. Thankfully, it started working again the following morning.

All in all, it’s a lovely hotel in a very convenient location near Cardiff Central. The free, secure parking was another big plus.
