I booked into the Mayfair but was actually given a room across the street in a completely different building called Park Lane which was fine but not really what I was expecting.

Location and parking were good.

Good location. Friendly staff and accommodating. Lovely room spacious and didn't feel cramped when sleeping and getting ready to go out. I come with my husband and my brother. We all loved it and the beds were comfortable. We've booked again for next month and months following and requested the same room. Perfect for our needs.

For starters we didn’t stay at the Mayfair but across the road at parklane. I received no notification that this change had occurred. I received an email from Kathy when I asked about how we get in and she said go across the road. When we got across the road that’s where David met us and said we were staying here. This accommodation is more like a hostel than a guest house. Make sure you view the new room before signing in!! Our new room was so small that we asked for a bigger room and we received this room. If there are no rooms at the Mayfair. Please take it off booking.com

Only 10 minute walk to the city or bus stop out the front. The chap called David was incredibly helpful and lovely

Soundproofing between rooms was poor, which was a problem as another group came in late to the neighbouring room, woke us up, and kept being intermittently noisy for a while. Too warm overnight and no temperature controls.

Basic but clean & comfortable. Everything worked as it should. Fairly priced.

Booking.com directions take you to a roundabout a mile away. Google brings you to the right place

Handy location to watch sons university rugby game v Cardiff Met Excellent pubs within walking distance and a couple of GREAT restaurants Obliging hosts

Breakfast could be included for the price.

The room and bathroom were very big and sound proof. Good transport routes to the city centre and the free private parking was great.

Narrow hallways; kitchen without a sink; our room was directly visible from the adjacent staircase, so we had to keep the drapes on.

Located on a main street with frequent bus connection. Cozy interior.

Parking lot was quite narrow, that could however be due to my driving skills

Quite a central cheap place. It was ideal for one night

A review for Park Lane NOT Mayfair! Reading more reviews today...does the Mayfair Guest House ever host anyone or does everyone get a message on the day of arrival, stating that they have to go opposite instead? - Hostel-like with paper-thin partition walls. - All doors were heavy & fire compliant, although I'm not sure how we'd escape the property from the upstairs bedroom if the landing was blocked with fire/people or both?*wherever I go, this a personal anxiety of mine. - The downstairs, back of property, communal kitchen/dining area has no sink & therefore no drinking tap water or way of washing anything. Although, the host did say to just leave anything that needed washing. - It would have been a nice touch to have had the option to fill our bedroom kettle with maybe 1 complimentary bottle of water (alongside tea/coffee sachets) or to just simply have a glass of drinking water after a long journey because only bathroom sink water was to hand. I was too exhausted after 5 hours of coach travel to search for a local shop, late evening, in an unknown area & packing a bottle(s) beforehand, had I have known about the lack of drinking water prior to travel, would have been too heavy to carry, alongside luggage! This wasn't a case of "you get what you pay for", for me personally. £80 per night seemed quite steep for our basic twin room (in the end transferred to the PARK LANE sister accommodation opposite & last minute?) I'm guessing room prices were increased due to the University Open Day in the city? Still, we made the most of laying our heads here after 2 long days exploring Cardiff. Myself & daughter absolutely loved Cardiff - it's history, the University, the transport, the nightlife & it's very friendly people! :-)

I liked the location with bus stop opposite. Property was a 25 min. walk to Cardiff centre. Staff were friendly. CCTV/cameras were dotted around & this was great for both customer & host safety.

Noisy when people were coming or going past the room you could hear everything clearly. Confusing as we didn’t actually stay at Mayfair it was their system guesthouse parklane

Great location, good value for money, comfortable spacious room

The walls are very thin so sleeping was difficult. It would also be good to have a hand towel in the bathroom. The curtains were extremely hard to open. They shut easily enough.

loved the location. The hosts were lovely

The confusion at the start as I was booked into the sister hotel across the way and I was a little frustrated at having to sort out where I would be staying. But other than that everything was good.

The quietness of the room and the facility to use a communal kitchen area. Good night's sleep each night

Stayed in March 2023

The bathroom is quite small, but its not a big deal.

The owner was super friendly. Location is great, bus stop right in front of the building or just a 20-30min walk to city centre. We had a kettle with coffee and tea in the room.
