ibis Cardiff Gate - International Business Park

No complaints really - we only stayed for one night but it was good for a quick stop. The bathroom was nicer than other comparable hotels (e.g. Travelodge etc), there was a nice big tiled shower rather than the attachment in the bath which you often get! Very easy to access by car. It's basically on a service station on the north eastern side of the city, which was super convenient for our purposes. The service station which was a short walk across the car park had a Starbucks and a Waitrose plus some other vendors, which was really handy for snacks and breakfast, rather than some motel-style places where you feel a bit stranded. Close to fast food joints as well. Check-in was super quick, especially as we checked in online first.

Room bigger than I expcted. Services food (KFC, Starbucks, burgers etc) just 3 minutes away from hotel - but we recommend the Toby Carvery 6 minutes away, where you can a beer too! Ask staff for directions - pretty easy! Good self-service breakfast - - staff visible refilling containers continually. They take dogs! (Premier Inns don't, and Travellodge appear to have stopped hot breakfasts, just a cold fixed menu bag)

Value for money, easy access, accessibility good- had a wet room which makes life easier for me. Staff were friendly.

The room and bed was more than adequate . It’s was good value for a one night stop over.

This is the first hotel I have ever stayed in where I haven't needed to take an antihistamine for my dust allergy. Though the hotel itself is a little dated in furniture and style what you may not see is how fantastic a job the cleaners do. I am so picky I ran a wet wipe all over the surfaces, bed frame etc, everything, and when I looked after it was still clean! The staff are also really friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location was great for me as I was working nearby, so it's more of a commuter hotel than a destination. Starbucks, KFC, Waitrose etc all opposite which was really convenient.
