Stayed here for three nights, over the bank holiday weekend, The staff were very friendly and efficient and the rooms were spotlessly clean, it might not be a posh hotel for some people but for value for money and cleanliness it was second to none, the continental breakfast was fine aswell eat as much as you like. definitly stop there... more

This isn't exactly in the most salubrious area of Cardiff - at night, you'll be able to look out of your window and watch prostitutes soliciting for business on the other side of the road. But, as cheap hotels go, Etap Hotel is perfectly adequate. The standard room rate is £35 per night (which rises to £60 when there's an... more

For their offer of £35.00 per night, the accommodation you get is very basic but is clean and adequate for a 1-night stay. We stayed here in a double room for 1 overnight and got a double bed with a bunk-bed overhead, a toilet, a shower cubicle and a sink in the bedroom. Everything was clean, although we had to... more

First thing to remember is the hotel is £35/night, which is £20 cheaper than the Travelodge etc. Breakfast is 2.99 extra and is basic continental style but fine. They didn't bother charging me when I decided to eat in the morning, so you can probably get the breakfast free if you want! Parking in the hotel car park is £3.... more

We've stayed here twice now, once last year and again in May 2008. It's great value for money (£35 a night), with a secure car park on-site (although they've now started charging £3 per 24 hours - it was free the first time we went). It's only 10 minutes from the centre of Cardiff and pretty close to The Bay,... more

I blame Bruce Springsteen - the rest of Cardiff was full so we were booked into the Etap for a conference. I can safely assure you I will not stay there EVER again. A small grubby cell of a room - why were there footprints on the ceiling?- badly in need of a thorough vacuuming and re-painting. Totally without any... more

I booked 9 rooms at this hotel for me hen weekend on June 7th. The hotel is situated just outside the city centre and about 10 minutes walk from St Marys Streets clubs and bars. There is nothing around the hotel only more hotels and a few commercial properties. The hotel has a very small car park at the rear... more

Generally when wanting a cheap night or two away, I stick to Travelodge. However, after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor I thought I'd give the Etap a try & I was not overly impressed. I was attending an event at the CIA & although only a fairly short walk from the hotel, I felt very uneasy coming back at... more

Stayed one night mid-week. Rooms small as is shower room but very good value when compared with other hotels in Cardiff. It is budget chain after all. Room £35. Breakfast about £3 Could accommodate two adults and a child in the bunk above. Clean, plenty of hot water, staff very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast Continental, but you can eat as... more
