    Visiting Cardiff and need somewhere to get your head down? Not bothered about frilly extras but like comfort? Give ZIP a go! We were doing a road trip across the country to get as many daft place names as possible, with our midpoint being Cardiff. We decided to get a couple of rooms in ZIP, and were completely blown away by both the concept and the price! Oddly situated in an industrial outskirt of Cardiff itself, and backing on to a gym complex, ZIP looks like a stereotypical 1970s office block from the outside. However, the folks at Premier Inn have worked their magic inside, creating a clean and modern hostel-style arrangement. The long reception bar provides nigh-on 24hr service, with a carefully curated mini menu of snacks and drinks at bargain prices. This is supplemented by active advice to order in from local takeaways - something you'd never find at standard hotels! The main draw of ZIP is that it's somewhere to get your head down in comfort, without any unnecessary extras. The rooms are super modern and have a sort of aeroplane/Star Trek cabin feel to them, with just the essentials but done to a high quality. It's an unusual but really cool concept, and we hope Premier Inn extends the idea to other locations. Rooms: Like a hi-tech aeroplane/Star Trek cabin, features air conditioning and ensuite bathroom 'pod'. Small flatscreen tv and LED lighting compliment the style, making for comfortable yet minimalist accommodation.

    Was a little skeptical going in as my partner is a big chap and the preview photos online make the beds look flimsy, but we were VERY pleasantly surprised at just how robust and comfortable they were. It's actually mind blowing how good the quality was for what you're paying. If there were more of these Zip hotels, I think I'd always rather go to one of them over a normal Premier Inn. You don't sacrifice much comfort at all for the price you pay! Was also happy that the room was nice and quiet, considering how many drunk people were arriving back in taxis following a night out in the city center. The food and drink options are superb value as well. Genuinely can't fault this place. It's just so so good and I can't wait for them to expand and see more locations pop up in the future!!

    Fantastic if you know what to expect! For £20 per night this was a dream. We knew what to expect going into it: a room without a window that we only wanted to use to sleep. However, it exceeded expectation for us. The bed was very comfortable, the artificial window was natural and made the room light, the bathroom facilities were great, the room was clean and smelled good, there was reliable AC, plenty of surfaces for our belongings, and there was free wifi on the first floor which was a tad slow but fine to message people etc. It was quiet, the staff were sweet, and there was ample parking for free. We were really pleased overall. It felt like a cruise ship cabin! 😂

    It's as basic as you need: bed, telly, Wi-Fi, shower, bathroom. The rooms are like little pods, the kind of thing you might see in a sci-fi film. But everything was spotless. The price was brilliant and the service could not have been better. I stayed five nights whilst my wife was in hospital, and will certainly stay there again. Food & drinks: Drinks at the bar were cheaper than my local, and the bar staff were polite and friendly.

    Fantastic idea for a budget, stripped down hotel experience. As a place to crash, very functional. Can't be faulted for the price, food is limited but good. You get what you pay for! Will definitely stay here again. Rooms: Rooms are clean and very functional. Great as a place to sleep, however if you plan on spending a lot of time in your room this might not be the hotel for you. Fantastic value for money though.
