Latest 5 reviews of The Cardiff
adequate
Stayed here for 5 nights at the end of September, first of October. We had two rooms, 1 double and 1 triple. The triple was extremely cramped. The bathroom and shower were the tiniest I have ever seen. However they both appeared to have been recently refurbished and were sparkling clean with new floor and shower tiles and fixtures. I cannot say the same for the rooms themselves. Very dowdy and worn. The triple room overlooked the park which was nice and had a nice large window, which helped since the room was very stuffy. However the window didn't stay open, we had to prop it up with the waste paper basket. Breakfast was forgetable. If you stay be sure to ask for a room on the first floor or second (if you are a hiker). No lift and the staircase is narrow and winding. But for the price (quite reasonable) we could put up with a few inconveniences.

Not a surprise
Good location (5 minutes from underground and 15 mins to downtown), peaceful area, lots of restaurants nearby.
we stayed in a small room with a nice view over Norfolk square (nice park full of coloured flowers): no wardrobe, no cabinet, no air conditioning: fortunately it was cool so we did not need it. Very small bath: I've seen larger washbasins on trains and aircrafts.
Take care while paying by credit card and insist on paying in pounds otherwise the kind staff will offer you to pay in your currency without saying to you there is a 3,5% commission charge on the total amount. Apart this, staff is kind and helpful.
If you don't like english breakfast you can only eat cereals and some bread and butter.
Good hotel to spend few nights, I would not recommend it for a whole week.
I think it is rather expensive 95£ x night for such a hotel, anyway living in London is not cheap. Before booking this hotel, I would try and look for something else, book it if you cannot find any better. Do consider that in its same Norfolk square there are quite a few other hotels and guest houses and the area around is really OK.

Ideal location, value for money
We stayed at the hotel for three nights. The location is ideal, it's close to/round the corner from Paddington station (train to Heathrow) and the underground station where you can take the tube directly to some of the main attractions like Mdm Tussauds. Hyde Park and Oxford Street are walking distance away. And even though it's close to a busy road and a train station it's fairly quiet.
The rooms are not massive, the showers are especially on the small side, but we were out most of the time so that didn't bother us.
The staff was very helpfull and kind. The breakfast was good.
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back!

great value for money excellent location
brilliant location, very close to paddington underground, and a five/ten minute walk to Hyde Park-fabulous for star spotting! we went on boxing day, so were able to see the Christmas German market at Hyde park, which i would highly recommend. The Cardiff Hotel was easy to find, yet surprisingly in a beautiful area for the money we paid. When we were given our keys i was dismayed to find a set of ladders in the room and plaster board on our sheets, with ceiling tiles laid in the bathroom. I asked the reception if they could do anything about this, so it was all cleaned and spotless after 10 minutes. The only downfall for this hotel was the 'breafast' menu were were given whilst staying there, very bad food, and we had to go to a nearby restaurant for breakfast. Overall an amazing stay, would recommend it to anyone, good location with a few local pubs and restaurants nearby.

The Cardiff is little more than an overpriced hostel!
Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the genuine reviewers on this site,you have encouraged and helped us greatly down the years.....
I Thank You All. :-)
Now we could answer the above, point by point but this would only produce a long list of rebuttals..... sigh....., but reading the above review brings to mind this quote:-
"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won."
Mahatma Gandhi.
Thank you and keep well.
