FAQs about hotels in Cardiff








The Pride of Wales

Capital of Wales, Cardiff is a wonderfully green city steeped in national pride. At its heart is enormous Bute Park, divided by the River Taff and named after the marquis that once lived in Cardiff Castle overlooking it. In fact, this is just one of 5 castles within the surrounding area.

Over the road is Cathays Park, a beautiful square flanked by Edwardian architectural masterpieces including Cardiff City Hall and the excellent National Museum of Wales. Another must-see is St Fagan’s National History Museum, one of Britain’s top attractions.

From Victorian arcades to the fabulous St David’s Centre, shopping in Cardiff is a delight. And there’s no shortage of pubs and restaurants in which to rest awhile. Those by Cardiff Bay offer particularly pleasant views.

Also by the bay are the futuristic National Assembly for Wales and the Wales Millennium Centre. Another year 2000 landmark is the Millennium Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue for international rugby and football matches, as well as concerts. Next door is Cardiff Arms Park, home to the city’s rugby union team, while Cardiff City FC’s new stadium is in the west.

Cardiff Airport is further west near Barry and Booking.com have an excellent range of hotels, B&Bs and apartments both near there and in the city centre.

    Cardiff is a friendly city with a compact city centre with plenty of shopping and a great selection of some truly outstanding bars. Great restaurants too. Well connected to London. Great walking city. Plenty to see in the bay area too.

    I'm biased because I'm Welsh and was born and brought up near & in Cardiff! It's a great city, with everything a tourist could want in the way of culture, sightseeing, history, attractions, amenities, shopping etc. Above all the people are generally really welcoming and friendly. There are so many interesting and diverse places to eat and drink in the center of the city, within easy walking distance but there are also many great places to visit within 30-60 minutes of Cardiff, on public transport.

    Cardiff is a great city.

    Cardiff is a great city. The compact layout makes it easy to explore. City centre is pedestrianised in parts which makes it a better experience. The indoor market is a wonder for foodies. Lots of good chains in general but also some great ones further out on City road. (Shaam Nights) Great to be able to get to the sea so quickly.

    Always an absolute pleasure to spend a few days in Cardiff.

    Always an absolute pleasure to spend a few days in Cardiff. A sophisticated capital city with zesty character, big enough to be interesting, intimate enough to get your arms around. The historic Victorian/Edwardian covered shopping arcades are a real pleasure e.g. Brogue Trader for fine gentleman's shoes where the Service itself was worth it as highly educational theatre. The authentic old-style pubs, like The Albany in Roath were a friendly treat. Similarly the Art Galleries like the Albany Gallery are ever-changing delights. The Rugby was a magnificent occasion as ever. Casanova Restaurant is a hidden gem, and the food & Italian wines are magnificent. Take a boat trip from the Castle Ground down to The Bay...a treat.

    Cardiff is a fantastic place to visit with plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants. Some with live entertainment. Also theatres and so many shops, you’ll be spoilt for choice! We ate in Ty Madeira (St Mary Street) the food was excellent we had the two course lunch menu. We also visited the Live Lounge (The Friory) and saw many live singing acts, all very good.

    Just checked out of Central Retreat and had such a lovely stay there, everything was great, very clean and comfortable. Lovely comfortable king size bed. The apartment is really spacious and was equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect for walking into the City Centre and Cardiff Bay . Parking was free and just outside the door. 😁 Loved the complimentary Welsh cakes and coffee machine! Lovely breakfast from the bakery around the corner too: ) I wish we had stayed longer, we will definitely be back!!!

    The location of the hotel was excellent. Just 10 minutes walking into the city centre and 5 minutes in the car to Cardiff bay. There was enough parking and it didn't cost too much. Good choices for breakfast and great bar for having drinks in the evening. We ate out so can't comment on the restaurant menu. The room was a good size for the three of us. The best thing about the Novotel was the indoor swimming pool. The pool was warm and the area around was clean and towels were provided. The gym was also well equiped.

    This hostel is based right in the centre of Cardiff close to all of the Welsh capital's main attractions (other than Cardiff Bay but you can get the boat there from close by). Also, the staff were very friendly and the toilets/showers were clean. The hostel also has a cage underneath the bunk beds where you can store your belongings and keep them safe.
