Top Cardiff Metropolitan University Hotel Reviews

Future Inns Cardiff Bay

8/10 Good

"Unfortunately our room lock was malfunctioning so we couldn’t lock our door properly. I did report it as we left so hopefully the next guests didn’t have this problem. There was a very slight aroma of vomit in our room but it was warm so we opened the window and sprayed some deodorant on the carpet and it did the trick. We have stayed here several times and would stay again due to location and free parking."
