Description
A central location overlooking Cardiff Castle, Bute Park and the Millennium Stadium is within easy walking distance of excellent shops and fine Edwardian arcades.

Hotel good but room rather small, bathroom very small, and we are not big people. Spacious dining area and buffet breakfast good variety full English, fruit, yogurt, danish pastries, cereals etc. Wi-Fi good in room and public areas. Hotel great location opposite castle and Bute Park, 10 mins walk from shopping centre. About 45 mins walk to Cardiff Bay, look around Mermaid Quay and Welsh Assembly etc and return via water taxi or Princess Katherine to Bute Park - £4. Great deal at the New Theatre, go to box office when it opens (10am) on the morning of the show and ask for concessionary or day tickets. Got middle of front stalls (row G) for Shadowlands for £9.50 - bargain! Collapse
