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. Enjoy a visit to Techniquest, a science centre that's hi-tech and hands-on and then take the time to wander around Cardiff's Inner Harbour and Docks, a fine example of inner city redevelopment.

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

Really centrally located near both the castle & shops & overlooking Syon Park, if you have a room at the front. Easy enough to find but getting in & out of the car park could be a pain as it seems the traffic in Cardiff really doesn't want to give way, but this isn't the hotels fault, just drivers being selfish & terrified to loose 20ft of road! Hotel was fine, reception was efficient & the room was adequate. However, my room was on the 4th floor at the front of the hotel & the traffic was noisy. I'm sure that there were more Harleys passing than enough, & they aren't quiet. It seems the rear rooms are both quiet & slightly bigger, but you only have a stadium to look at. Food was OK, both breakfast & dinner & service was efficient, helpful & with just the right amount of friendliness. Overall, OK Collapse

I stayed two nights because of a one day meeting at part of Cardiff University in the City Centre (a short walk from the Holiday Inn, having travelled by train to and from Wales. The location and style of the Holiday Inn was ideal for this since I could walk there from the train station too). I was given a nice quiet room on the top floor overlooking the sports stadia and the river Taff, and it provided everything which I needed for such a short visit. I would particularly commend Loretta, the host at the breakfast room who took considerable trouble to seat everyone in a place convenient for them and she explained everything well. I was particularly impressed that she seemed to remember the names of everyone after their first visit, and I had some interesting conversations with her about her home country which I had visited a few times.

The hotel provides a perfect location when visiting Cardiff. Ten minute stroll to all the city centre shops, restaurants and other places of entertainment, Plenty of parking and great views across the city, the Castle and ajoining parkland or the imposing structure that is the Principality Stadium. Great selection for breakfast and very helpful and freindly staff. Collapse
