'The Big Sleep Hotel', Cardiff

Positive points

Location The biggest advantage of 'The Big Sleep Hotel', Cardiff is undoubtedly its location. In the heart of central Cardiff, the hotel is within walking distance of both St David's Shopping Centre and the chic Cafe Quarter on Mill Lane. Furthermore, it is just a short distance away from the Motorpoint Arena. It is therefore ideal for those people who wish to attend concerts. Inclusive perks
As with all 'Big Sleep' hotels, all room rates at the Cardiff branch include a complimentary continental breakfast and all-day tea and coffee. Complimentary access to a nearby gym and health spa is also included. Discounts Those choosing to stay at the 'Big Sleep' in Cardiff should also take advantage of discounts at various city restaurants. The reception readily gives information about discounts - which can often be as much as 25%.

Negative points

Railway tracks The 'Big Sleep' in Cardiff is not without its issues, however. A common gripe is that due to its location next to the railway tracks, it can become quite noisy. Although trains do not run all night, the noise throughout the day is at times frustrating.
The car park Another issue is that the hotel car park does not match the capacity of the hotel itself. With only a little more than 10 parking spaces, guests are often required to make use of the city car parks. In the city, it is not always easy to find parking - unlike the situation for visitors to 'The Big Sleep' in Cheltenham. Lack of air-conditioning Finally, the hotel has a lack of air-conditioning. During the summer months, the rooms can, therefore, be quite stuffy. Nevertheless, the room windows are large and offer fantastic city and bay views.
