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 Center, shopping in Cardiff is fantastic. And there’s no shortage of pubs and restaurants for a short rest or meal. Those by Cardiff Bay have particularly pleasant views.

Also by the bay are the futuristic National Assembly for Wales and the Wales Millennium Center. Another year 2,000 landmark is the Millennium Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue for international rugby and soccer 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 center.

    The hotel staff, taxi drivers, local shopkeepers and local people were all friendly and willing to share information about the area. The water bus and bay trips were well worth going on. The Norwegian church and other sights both in Mermaid Quay and Cardiff city and Castle were all worth visiting. We had a really good and interesting time.

    We enjoyed our short stay in Cardiff and would probably have stayed another couple of nights. We had a great meal out at Ty Madeira, and enjoyed Cardiff Castle, although it is a slightly odd selection of different things to do. It is easy to get around Cardiff: we mainly walked but got taxis when the weather didn't allow that.

    Didn't spend too much time in the city itself as we only went for a night to go to a music gig. That said Cardiff has changed a lot since I was last there 20 years ago. Much cleaner and more vibrant. I loved the shopping arcades that were only a stones throw from the railway station, the sports stadium and plenty of guest houses. I do recommend some sort of map once you are in the city shopping area. I am pretty much ok but the person I was with has the sense of direction of a deranged lemming and once we got to the central shopping area she got totally lost. Plenty of cheap places to eat and drink if you look, that cater to all tastes, ethnicity and diet. There are a multiplicity of stores that can offer everything from cute 'Welsh Dragon' plush toy stores to an entire shop dedicated to just selling Lego (Other building block construction kits are available!) One massive plus is it so easy to get to places if you know where you are going. The fact that all the areas to shop, eat drink are in a pedestrianised location that has no vehicles AT ALL is great.

    Cardiff is a lovely city that is close to many cool sights.

    Cardiff is a lovely city that is close to many cool sights. The Cardiff castle is beautiful and right in the city center with a large park next to it. The people are friendly, and it’s cheaper than other areas in the UK. Cardiff is very walkable, and the public transport includes trains, local buses, and regional buses like FlixBus. We stayed for five days, which was perfect to explore the city and surrounding area. I recommend visiting the Welsh parliament, the Pierhead building, St Fagan’s open air museum, Castell Coch, and the Caerphilly castle.

    The room was very clean, with new feeling bedding. Very comfortable bed. Friendly staff. I had to get to the bay and university buildings during my stay, so was an ideal midway location with a short 15-20 minute walk for both. Near to the city centre with plenty of food options (takeaway at the moment!). The parking was directly outside the hotel. Could help self to coffee from machine in main reception area.

    We went to a gig at Cardiff Bay so the location was ideal for us, but it was also only a 10 minute cab to the city centre.
