Didn't stay overnight but found myself stranded nearby with a damaged tyre and waited 10 hours for RAC to recover me. The hotel allowed me to use their facilities and the manageress was kind and helpful.

Super stay for mum and teenage son

Reviewed By jennynalex2022

Stayed at ZIP Cardiff at half term with my son for three nights. He thought the room was cool, and we both felt relaxed and not at all claustrophobic despite the small space. Facilities were spot on, lots of sockets, TV and comfy beds. Clean, free parking, and hot water available downstairs so we could have a cuppa with our teabags and milk in our room! A cosy base for our mini-break.

Excellent Stay

Reviewed By RobSomerset

What a fab place. Check in was very easy as details sent before we arrived. Staff will advise where to park and we had no problems with two cars. We stayed in Rooms 7 and 8 and they were immaculae. Very clean, comfy beds and perfect for our stay. Location was just right. 2o min walk and you're in centre. Breakfast was excellent and very well priced. And finally thanks to the staff. They are amazing. Friendly, chatty and knowledgeable. Will help you in any way they can. The locals in the bar are very friendly and welcome you as well. Have to mention Oscar the dog, so friendly. Also Crofty the Parrot. Didn't see the Cat. Highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again in future when we visit Cardiff.

Utterly disgusting

Reviewed By icecreaminthesand

PLEASE PLEASE AVOID! Has read some negatives reviews before arriving. Went with an open mind. Check in was relatively easy, but you must make sure you give your car registration for free parking. Arrived in the room and was disgusted. The stains on the floor were horrendous. Looked as if someone had vomited (repeatedly), then someone smeared it all trying to clean it (which was unsuccessful! The room absolutely stank of damp and mould, but being ground floor and car park facing you couldn’t have the window open over night. I was charged twice. It seems that their policy is to pre-authorise your stay regardless of the booking terms you made with a 3rd party agent. I called and spoke to someone (eventually) who assured me this was ‘’standard procedure’’ for them to pre-authorise and that I would be refunded in due course. Having read reviews on other sites this seems to be Raglan Lodges’/EG (Euro Garages) policy!! The sofa bed wasn’t made up despite the party consisting of 3! When someone came to make it up we were asked to leave the room as they are ‘’not allowed to make the bed with guests in there’’. Lots of random people loitering around - almost appeared they may have lived there? Holes in walls, ‘’brown’’ smears on walls and doors and the crowning glory was faecal matter ON the shower curtain! (And lots of it!) The mould on the walls was just unnecessary Our clothes, especially our nightwear STANK of stagnant water. When we checked out the next morning I asked to complain and I was asked ‘’was it the carpet?’’ Then I was asked ‘’was it the cleanliness’’. The manger to be fair was probably the most polite of the staff and gave a reduction in our bill.

THE COACH & HORSES INN & RESTAURANT CAERWENT

Excellent location, great staff

Reviewed By Graham E

Three of us were on a cycling trip and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. A quick booking in system and secure storage for our bikes was sorted. We had a pint of excellent Wye Valley beer in the lovely beer garden. We had a meal in the restaurant and all three meals were outstanding as was the service. We had a very good breakfast the following morning after a relaxing good night's sleep. A great location for walking and cycling breaks.
