Travelodge Cardiff M4 M4 Motorway, Pontyclun CF72 8SA

"Easy to access hotel tucked inside the services. The rooms had all the basic necessities needed and a comfy bed to sleep in however there was only one plug socket in the whole room next to the TV for the kettle. The sides/shelves next to the bed were still dirty from a previous occupant spilling something, and the toilet seat was broken/loose so moved when you used it. Downside to being in the services there is no breakfast option offered by the hotel but with a burger king right outside there are plenty of other options Other than that it was a nice stay and the staff were friendly on arrival to get me checked in, despite coming later in the day and the desk being closed they came back to complete the check in once called on the number provided."

"It’s a good place to stay at if you want to explore wales.Overall good place although rooms were found quite dirty and for the breakfasts they were packed in a box, probably would’ve preferred Costa or Greggs. Very convenient for a Greggs,Costa,Burger King and WHSmith. However the cleanliness was a bit of an issue, the towel we asked for all had these orangey stains on them,disgusting , and crumbs in the chair where the bin is kept."

"Spent 2 nights here first night everything was well no concerns and would of rated higher but upon return for second night a fault was found on smoke alarm and the room had to be cleared which is fair enough. Swap to a new room and as soon as I walked into it the windows where wide open and the room was like an ice box not very inviting at all the bed was freezing and it took the room hours just to warm up enough to be comfortable. Made a complaint to member of staff and all he could say was sorry"

"Tv remotes didn't work in the rooms an reception said nothing they can do. Toilet roll holder an towel rail loose an hanging off. Horrible smell of damp or sweaty feet throughout. Everything very noisy. Doors don't have soft close on them so when in an area with kids that go in an out every 30secs it's bang bang bang. Walls are also paper thin so screaming kids from other rooms can be heard an keep you awake."

"It was not my intention to spend 8 nights in a travelodge last week. I picked this hotel as I knew the location was great and near to the Royal glam. The staff were absolutely outstanding in helping me and my sister throughout our stay ensuring our rooms were opposite, topping up towels, drinks, etc at silly times due to us sleeping at weird times. also when we extended our stay and shared a room they ensured we could keep one of the rooms we were in so we wouldn't have to move. They couldn't do enough for us and would always let us through if the other had the key."
