Nice little place
Brilliant little place to stay, good for just coming and going when you need without the hassle of keys. Parking was ok outside on the road. Very clean and tidy, just no hot water in the sink tap which was weird as you cant wash unless having a shower but overall great place to stay for a cheap short stay.

Ideal cost effective layover
Perfectly cost-effective option for an overnight stay/layover. You get exactly what you pay for however, the room's could really do with a fabric conditioner so there's no linger smoke smell which was off-putting and the reason why it's not getting full marks. Great central location opposite the stadium

Nice place but could do with a little work.
Loverly room nice and clean a couple of patches of mold in bathroom but tbh the room is so small and hot with no airflow it is not surprising. Checking in was a bit of fiasco staff really did not like being disturbed but was sorted after they read my checking in email and looking at their records

Great location, 5 minute walk from city centre and castle. We had a medium room which was very small (enough room to just about walk round the bed with 1 small suitcase). Suited us as we only used the room to sleep. For the price we paid you couldn't really fault it. Tea/coffee in the room and also near reception with take out cups. The only thing I'd suggest to improve it is a lick of paint as the walls in the room were very damaged - this would make the rooms feel more cared for and give an overall better impression. I'd stay again and I've recommended to my parents (but a large room).

It was fine
My stop at wise stay cardiff was fine, it was only for 1 night, the room was very small but I only paid £40. It had coffee available, would not want to stay longer than 1 night because of the size of the room. It was clean and easy access via a code sent to me.

Wisestay is close to the city centre, it's a 5 minute walk. The staff are friendly and helpful and the room was clean and tidy. Great for a weekend break.

The property was clean and well equipped, and the shower was good. It was noisy however - the walls are thin, and much detail of our 'neighbours', both to the side and above could be heard. I would, however book again, and hope it was a little less noisy.

Nice, an area slightly out of city centre so may want to head back before it gets too dark, but great for the price.

We stayed as a family of four in the XL bunk bed room. The room was spacious, clean, and the beds were comfy. The room is next to the front door so can be a bit noisy but you expect a certain amount when in a hotel. As per other reviews the walls are a bit thin, but I would stay again.
