Parking Space and Maneuverability
Pros:
"The only positive thing is that it's close to the centre of Cardiff."
"Perfect location having a 3 min walk from where we stayed."
Cons:
"First thing is the space, it is so tight! Managed to scratch my car while trying to find a space."
"Parking places and drive way simply too narrow."
"The tight turns going up and down the ramps between floors have resulted in the walls being painted with lots of different colors from people scraping their front bumpers."
"You won't get in if you've got a large estate as entrance is so tight."
"Spaces are too small to park if you plan on exiting your vehicle."
"Absolutely dreadful, I cannot believe how busy it was we ended up on the 10th floor."
"The spaces are far too tight. They have crammed the maximum spaces into the area."
"Very narrow path all the way through with tight turns, very limited space, narrow parking spots."
Cleanliness and Odor
Pros:
"Okay, this carpark is very secure and well lit, with clean stairwells."
Cons:
"It stunk of urine in the lift. Disgusting."
"The stairs smell of urine. There also appeared to be class A drug use going on in one stairwell."
"Upon recent visits, I have noticed a persistent and highly unpleasant odor, resembling urine, within the premises."
"This place is terrible. Possibly the worst carpark I have been to in the UK. The whole place must have been used as a public urinal and is never cleaned, the stench is incredible."
"The stairways and elevators stunk of urine."
"We were only there for approx 2 hours which cost around £10. When walking down the stairs you got an overwhelming smell of urine."
"The lift can not be called from the bottom floor because the button panel has been ripped out filled with rubbish."
"This car park stinks of piss, it's expensive, and the spaces are narrow."
Price and Value
Pros:
"Conveniently located for the stadium, St Mary Street etc. Small and tight, I'd imagine getting around in a large vehicle could be a struggle. Can be VERY expensive if you don't have the NCP app, good value if you have."
"The two stars are for the location and the £7.80 to park all day if you arrive before 9am."
Cons:
"The worst bit was the price. We spent 4 hours shopping and it cost £25!!!!!!!"
"Expensive (£12 for 3 hours!) and filthy with excrement and stinking of urine on every floor."
"I arrived at 20:05 and exited 14:05 on the Saturday to move my car to cheaper parking and for that period I was charged £31.95."
"Absolutely awful car park, I wish I could give zero stars. £24 for 4 and a half hours!"
"Stank of urine. So expensive and price not advertised at the car park."
"£52 for two nights. After the last two days this was the final straw, we will never return to Cardiff."
"£15 for 2 & a half hours then charged me another £11 after I left automatically 🤣🤣🤣🤣 £27 for less than 3 hours is nuts"
"Prices aren't too bad if you get here before 9.00am in the morning (£7.60 p/day), after this they are horrendous (up to £22!)."
Security and Safety
Pros:
"Secure with shutters on entry/exit and you need a ticket to gain entry on foot."
Cons:
"Car park and staff are an absolute joke😡 2 days of parking which was £70 pound and to have my car smashed, damaged and my items and my disabled brother blue badge robbed!"
"DO NOT PARK HERE. Very tight spaces and glass EVERYWHERE from smashed windows."
"No CCTV. No security on site, just occasionally some chap in a hi-viz vest wandering about spraying apple scented water trying to disguise the smell of urine in the stairwell."
"DO NOT PARK HERE IF YOU EXPECT A SECURE SAFE PLACE TO PARK."
"Had to usher my daughter on her birthday past the drug users with needles in their arms, through the urine soaked stairwell."
"Parked here 7 August 2022, big mistake. Not only was it costly, £14.00 for just over 2 hours. the parking bays were narrow. The stairwell smelled worse than a sewer, and to end it all somebody caused damage to my car."
"Parked on a Sunday afternoon. Narrow spaces (I have a car not a 4x4)! Stairways stank of urine smell."
"DO NOT PARK HERE!! Car was broken into and ransacked, no CCTV, NCP don't care."
