Cheap and cheerful. Friendly staff. My partner and I booked accessible room 7 for a work trip. It was great for our needs. It would have been better if the water could drain in the wet room. It was uncomfortable to crawl through that in the night.
I took a kettle and the staff kindly lend me a mug to make tea. The room would benefit from a chair as we need to sit down to take our legs off!
I would be happy to return though.

Bob on, for the money!

For a one night stopover it’s perfect. Yes, the room is small, single beds, toilet close to bed and all that, but if you are just laying your head down for a night what more do you want? Staff are great, decent glass of red and the foods good. Got to drive through the leisure centre to get to the parking, but that’s free which is a pleasant bonus. For what you pay, and what you expect, it’s perfect. Been twice, will go again.

One night in Cardiff? This is perfect.

If you are reading this you probably either work for Premier inns or you are looking for a hotel in Cardiff. If it’s the later and you are looking for an overpriced room( with more than a passing resemblance to a prison cell) at the back of an industrial estate on the outskirts of Cardiff then look no further. The only redeeming feature was a large car park and given the extortionate cost of the room and the indescribably uncomfortable bed I would have been better off sleeping in the car park next to my car .The staff were very pleasant probably because they felt sorry for the inmates ,sorry guests.

‘Car park is better than room’ says former inmate of zip inn Cardiff

Visited family and felt too tired to get on the motorway to drive home so booked a room at Zip. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the room. Tiny but perfectly formed! Comfortable bed, lovely pillows and duvet, warm room, power shower, wifi and tv. Vending machine for snacks and drinks. I arrived after midnight but there is a bar and a decent selection of meals if needed. Breakfast offer for £4.50 was good. I had a hot chocolate and a veggie sausage brioche bap served with a smile. No window in the room I was in so there was a lightbox instead! Loved that as it was a good option to use instead of the bright room lights. No kettle in room but didn't bother me. Ironing room down the hall. Towels in room and Baylis&Harding toiletries. Very minimalist feel to the room  which felt good. Lobby/lounge/ bar area has wide screen tv and an area where yoy can sit and use laptop etc. Everything I needed and the low level lighting and chilled background music was perfect for me.

Great last minute bedroom!

Awful experience from start to finish! 
I know it’s a cheap stay over, but mattress and pillows were flat and uncomfortable. We hardly slept as there was a noise as if someone was rolling a trolley around the place all night and early morning.
Only positive was the free parking on site. We stayed for a stop over before a flight in the morning but wouldn’t even bother again!  

Dreadful

we only needed a bed and accessible room this was the only one available at a premier hotel good price and you get what you pay .As we are in that golden oldie bracket we would rather pay more for are home comforts .This room was good and clean and great wet room.

good value budget hotel

Accommodation as advertised and quite adequate for the purpose. The room was quiet, warm, all needs covered. No fresh air available if needed. Lots of plug sockets. Soap provided in toilet and shower. All worked well. TV easy to work, good picture. Dimmable frosted glass panel

Zip premier in. Cardiff

Zip is great, it's compact, clean and the staff were particularly good. The value for money is outstanding, we had a great stay, it was everything myself and my partner needed for quality time with each other. We will be back again soon to stay.

Perfect

Look, as a field service engineer I stay in hotels 100+ nights a year and would normally stay in the regular Premier Inn's so I hope this has some relevance not only to us service engineers but the traveling public in general. Thought I would give it a punt, hell, life's about trying new things eh? I wish to God they had these kind of facilities everywhere I stay in the UK. OK, know it is not everyone's cup of tea but come on, space age (Space 1999 - early Star Trek, 2001 A Space Odyssey  el at) accommodation, real friendly (it's Premier Inn fer Christs sake!) and a price that just might convince me to leave the family and live like this FOREVER .... ! I am over egging it, but I loved it. I'm 60+ and if this is the future I'm sold. Sick of staid hotels with an almost "we're doing you a favour" attitude. Go on, give it a try, it's what your children are going on about. Loads of sockets, USB  charging points and great surroundings. the staff wanna help, there's a bar with enough choice, basic food yes, but walking (staggering ... ) distance from most foodie outlets. Me, McLovin it!

It's The Future

Paid for room in advance including GRAB TO GO breakfast. Even though there is a clue in the title staff ignore what you say and put it on a plate or into cups rather than bags. One even insisted that they have to give you the roll on a plate and then YOU have to put it in a bag because of no allergy labels....? The latter was a conversation of 5 mins then another 10 just to get the bacon on... so it's not a grab to go breakfast in anyway shape or form. I ended up leaving as they made me late due to over pedantic behaviour!
Stayed into eat the first night,
Had 2 teas at £1.80 each - expresso size - and nachos that should have been £5 and as i gave a £50 note was given £15.51 then another £10 then another £10. So I was charged for 2 very small teas and nachos £14.49...! 
Sent email in. Called customer services about argumentative staff. NOT INTERESTED TILL AFTER YOUR STAY. CANT SEE YOUR BILL ON OUR SYSTEM.
PREMIER - VERY BAD BEHAVIOUR AND FORM.
