Cardiff hotels & places to stay

First visit to Cardiff with a day at Cardiff Castle the main attraction. The hotel was easy to find. The staff were, to a man, extremely helpful and courteous. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast brilliant value for money with a delicious selection of hot and cold foods on offer. Minor niggles included the bath plug not working in one of the rooms booked (we had booked three in total) and the hotel is currently undergoing a refurbishment. The £20 parking fee per day is also quite hefty. The hotel was located in the heart of the shopping district and a very easy walk to the castle.

location is very easy to find after i got off from train station, just 2-3 mins walk to the hotel. i booked maldron hotel cardiff because it is also one of the best location for attending a concert at motorpoint arena. with completely hotel facilities and also free wifi throughout the whole hotel!

this hotel has become my favourite city centre hotel in cardiff. the main reason is the executive lounge on the 7th floor which looks out over cardiff castle. has an ok gym, pool and sauna. great location near st david's centre, queen street and cathays park. five minutes walk to central train station.can be a little noisy late at night as there are a few clubs around. can recommend this hotel.

Helpful, friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you. We were let into our room early and our bags were looked after for us at the end of our stay. The room was comfortable, a good size with a good bathroom and a comfy bed. Despite being in the middle of Cardiff it is quiet and we were not disturbed by road noise. The location was perfect for anything you might want to do in Cardiff with plenty of bars, restaurants, a Cineworld, the Motorpoint Arena and the huge John Lewis right on your doorstep.Breakfast was plentiful with hot and cold choices and a good coffee machine for cappuccinos and lattes. Altogether a brilliant stay!!

This hotel is lovely, really nice, well looked after rooms with everything you would expect. The room was very clean. The hotel is within walking distance to the centre of Cardiff (about 15 mins) which makes it a great location to visit the attractions. The breakfast was amazing with everything you could want from cereals to a full Welsh breakfast. Coupled with the attentive staff this hotel very good. It even has a free car park which is an added bonus, would definitely stay again.

Very good location, 1-2 mins walk from Cardiff Central Train Station, and very near town centre. However, few things to take note: 1. Wifi is NOT entirely free. It’s only free for 30 mins (every 24 hrs) They Should have make clear in their booking page! 2. There is no fridge in the room 3. There is no SafeBox in the room 4. No toiletries given - bring your own

I stayed at Hotel One Hundred for 6 days and 5 nights. This is definitely a really lovely place which is near to Cardiff City Centre. The location is really convenient whereby there are pubs, takeaways and convenience store just right behind of the hotel. The decor in hotel is lovely and it feels just like home. Helene and the other staffs are really friendly at the hotel. They are very helpful where they would guide you around the city if you are not familiar with it. Also, the breakfast in the morning is great and I enjoyed it a lot throughout my stay. I would definitely come back to Hotel One Hundred again if I were to visit Cardiff again in the future.

The hostel is very clean and tidy, it occupied the whole building similar to a motel or hotel. My 4 people room has its own shower and toilet, just likes a hotel room. It requires 15 min walk from the station, 15-20 min walk to Cardiff castle and city centre. Very comfortable and you won't regret to stay at this place.

Very well run hotel. Centrally located so it is only a short walk to either Cardiff Bay or the city centre.

We stayed here at th beginning of our UK/Ireland family vacation on a stop to see my boyfriensd's niece, husband and 2 children who live in Cardiff. This was a great midrange hotel for a family of 5 adults traveling together. Nice size rooms and friendly staff. A 5-10 minute walk to Cardiff Bay waterfront area with many choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Convenient to other Cardiff attractions too ( Cardiff Castle, downtown Cardiff shopping, etc.). Would stay here again. The only negative I can say is that it's a little tough to find the hotel entrance. You can see the hotel from the road but with several traffic circles to navigate it's tricky and if you miss it you to go over the bridge before you can turn around. Other than that we had a great stay.

We travelled up for a visit to my son at Cardiff Uni. The hotel is planted in amongst the city pubs and eateries, so is great if you're on foot. We have elderly parents with mobility considerations, so the location was ideal. Rooms and bedding are clean. Staff are very helpful. Decor is dated, and furniture looks a little tired, but for the price we were happy to compromise on aesthetics. The beds are comfy, and night noise is minimal - even in rooms facing the street, which is pedestrianised. Breakfast is very reasonably priced - tea, coffee, juice, cereals, and toast are on a help-yourself basis, plus you get a choice of variations of cooked breakfast, including full-English, which are waitress-served. There is a subsidised parking deal available operated in conjunction with the near-by NCP carpark (2 minutes walk away) that reduces the eye-watering £21/24hr normal charge to a relatively digestable £9 - An excellent price for premium city centre parking. All in all a very enjoyable stay. We will definitely return to this hotel when we visit Cardiff again.

Our stay far exceeded our expectations. We had never stayed in a hostel before so were a bit hesitant but we're delighted with our choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities included a wii, dvds, books, an ipad, speakers and a fully equipped kitchen. The toilet and shower rooms were modern and extremely clean. The beds were comfy but the single pillow was very thin. The breakfast was fantastic and really wasn't expected to be that good of quality and variety considering in was included in the price. The location was perfect for shopping or going to the millennium stadium as it is right in front of the hostel. I highly recommend this hostel and would definitely stay here the next time I am in cardiff.

Wow what a hidden gem in the centre of Cardiff. The hotel is tucked away down an arcade in the middle of Cardiff ans is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in from the wonderfull rooms (best bathroom I have ever had) to the helpful staff. I have been trying to think of a negative for the hotel but I cant, well done Hotel Indigo see you in April.

Wonderful place to stay in Cardiff in an upscale part of town near (but not obtruded on by) the cricket stadium. Attractive and excellently maintained accommodations in a late 19th century Victorian row house, comfortable beds, friendly and knowledgeable but unobtrusive hosts, and excellent value. Full documentation and details about guest expectations, amenities, house history, local restaurants, local transport, etc. are provided in the room, with common-use guides to attractions in Cardiff and the region available in the hallway. In addition, when you book, the owners send by email pages of useful information. Number62 is wonderful home base for visiting southern Wales and nearby areas of England.

This hotel is supposed to be a top hotel in Cardiff., Its not. It feels like at best a 3 star hotel was very unimpressed. Thankfully only stayed a night. Staff were helpful and friendly. Location is good however I would not stay again nor can I recommend it. Its way to expensive and not value for money.

This was a great place for our two night stop over in Cardiff. Unusual layout of the place and helpful staff made it all the more pleasant. The free extra bed for our 9-yr old kept the cost very low for a such a high standard of service.

my 15 year old grand-daughter was attending the Motorpoint Arena,. As we live out of town we decided to book in to a hotel and stay overnight. She went to the Arena and I stayed in the room with my feet up reading a good book. Centrally located, lovely rooms and friendly staff. What more could you ask for.

Cheap & cheerful, great location in central Cardiff. Slightly confusing check in at Sandringham hotel 1 min walk away, but no big deal

We had a nice family holiday. A lovely note was left in the rooms after cleaning from Cara who we didn’t know but it was welcoming , thanks Cara.

considering that the "star rating" system is a complete pack of lies in england (i.e. a 3 star in the usa gets 4 stars in england; a 3 star in england would only be a 2 star in the usa -- this is the norm for england, everywhere), we were very pleasantly surprised to find that when we stepped into wales the usual lies stopped - at least at this hotel. it was marked as a 4 star and it was a 4 star. kudos on that. the room was great and large with spectacular views - two whole window walls, a nice large bathtub, modern shower, large extremely comfortable king bed. also a desk which we did use, and a table & lounge which we did not use except to throw things there as we shopped. the breakfast was a very good value if you buy in advance. if you pay the "day-of" it gets a lot more pricey. however, you can pre-order breakfast the night before, and the selection was excellent. we went nuts over the croissants - so fresh! buffet style with special orders just fine. the only bad thing is that they use insanely toxic chemicals in the pool and spa area. just two literal minutes in the steam room and i could taste a soapy nastiness on my tongue. same foul smell in the jacuzzi and the pool. we complained to the manager about this and did not return to the pool area at all. the manager gave us free parking as an apology (which is normally 10 / day). outside of the bad pool, we enjoyed this hotel and would probably stay here again. great location for all of cardiff's main attractions.

Trust me to have to go to Cardiff on business on the same night as both One Direction and the Manic Street Preachers were playing! Thank goodness for the Nomad: it was great value, really friendly and so convenient on location.

the holiday inn cardiff is about ten minutes walk from the main central train station, on the edge of the shopping area and right by the millenium stadium and the historic castle. i was welcomed warmly, and, whilst small, my room was clean and had a bath as well as shower. the breakfast was well presented and ample, and although i had an early start, i had plenty of time to enjoy it. i would recommend holiday inn to any travellers looking for a town-centre location in cardiff, especially sports fans.

I was really pleased that I booked the Angel. I was in Cardiff for one of the Rugby World Cup matches, so you could not beat the location. There was loads of match related activity in the hotel including a local male voice choir singing - how brilliant. We also had a fire alarm go off and the hotel staff were cool calm and collected in dealing with the sleepy and grumpy guests in the middle of the night - great job!!! I would recommend it and would definitely stay there again.

Loved this room. I was in room 7.Had everything I needed.Lovely view from window , was able to sit in the chair in the window with the window open with a cup of tea watching the river. Didn’t hear a sound at night very peaceful. Bed comfy . Bathrooms were all 5 star super clean with lovely little thoughtful touchesTowels were very soft& new looking. Wi fi was great.Very easy check in staff very professional.Would have gladly stayed here for a week but could only stay one night as had to return home..Lots of storage space in room.Secure code entry on room door. Enjoyed my night here. Fantastic value as only paid £22 as it was a Sunday. Few mins walk to central shops., castle etc. Will return.

Great hotel, clean and nice. A little disappointed by the location, but this was also affected by bad research on my hand. Lesson of the day - do not underestimate the distance and overestimate the bus offer in Cardiff!

Lack of fresh coffee as part of the continental breakfast (included) was a personal disappointment but selection of teas was very good. Shower weak (top floor) but just about adequate to do the job. Request for quiet room was achieved by the helpful staff. We had one evening meal in the restaurant/bar which was much better than anticipated. Overall very good value for money.

This hotel is ideally located for visitors to Cardiff Bay, within walking distance of the Millenium Center, the Bay and the Dr. Who Experience. Clean rooms and facilities. A buffet breakfast was included in the price and it was nice to have breakfast with views of the canal. However the parking was not free and it was a surprise, although it was £5 for 24 hours, I would have preferred to have had that included in the room booking initially. Also the internet service was expensive, this compared to a free service at another Holiday Inn Express in another town was a disappointment. Staff were friendly and helpful and altogether a nice stay at a reasonable price.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, a decent breakfast, location close to the airport and a bus (the T9) that runs directly into Cardiff means that The Holiday Inn is a good place to stay

From the outside doesn't look impressive, although I believe it's the oldest hotel in Cardiff, and as the reception is on the 2nd floor, after meandering through corridors for the lift or stairs (dependant on entrance used) slightly off putting, but once IN the hotel staff were so friendly and accommodating. Large rooms (mine was a standard so the superiors must be massive) , big screen TV, sizeable wardrobe, ironing facilities (going for an interview so very welcome), and good sized bathroom I used the bar for a late drink, comfortable, friendly and nice atmosphere but didn't do breakfast so can't comment Location - bang on - shops, bars and restaurants all around but from the room couldn't hear any noise. Stay again - Yes

I had an injury to my leg during my travels and the owner of the B + B personally took care of my needs from start to finish to make sure I was able to enjoy my stay. He carried my luggage and drove me to my Bus when I left town and I am not sure I could have done it on my own.
