Having been caught in a three hour traffic jam at the outskirts of Cardiff, we were exhausted and decided to stay at the first place we could find. Ah, there is a Holiday Inn ! Yes, they have a room at the last minute. The price is steep, but it is at the last minute, it is in an excellent... more

we stayed here july -2008 for 2 nights and found it worth the money. This is not in actual cardiff city center. You have to take bus/taxi to hotel. Room was clean, staff was helpful and polite..Room was avg. size with lcd tv and bathroom bit small but ok. It is close to famous bay area with all happening stuff... more

I normally stay in Cardiff city centre but my usual hotel has put up its prices so I decided to try the holiday inn express just out of the city centre. I was pleasantly surprised, there is much to commend this hotel. Firstly the price. A doube room with continental breakfast cost us £56 per night. There was ample free... more

I just wanted to say that I'm a regular Holiday Inn Express user but the quality of this particular hotel was much much better than what i have experienced in the past. The rooms were immaculate, fresh, and smelt lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the whole atmosphere was very cosy and friendly. I will definately be... more

We stayed in this hotel while visiting relatives in Cardiff. For the money (we paid £62 per night for B&B for the two of us) it was far better than I had anticipated. The room was pretty standard for this type of hotel but was very clean. The location is great, being within easy walking distance of Cardiff Bay and... more

This is as it says on the tin. It’s cheap, clean and has an excellent location. The bay area is in walking distance with some fantastic international restaurants. There is also a large cinema/bowling complex within 5 minutes walk. The centre of the city is only a short taxi ride away at night for the people looking for a late... more

The only thing that was descent about this hotel was the continental breakfast. None of the lights in the room except in the one in the hallway worked. I had to take a shower in the dark. The Hotel needs to make it PERFECTLY CLEAR upon making their reservation that their credit card number is only taken to hold the... more

The hotel is in an excellent location in a quiet spot on the edge of an old dock in a residential area about a ten-minute walk to Cardiff Bay with all the entertainment and restaurants available there. Plenty of free parking. Some rooms overlook the dock and others the car park. It’s about a 15 minutes walk to the City... more

We stayed here for 2 nights in September and found the location close to the bay area (about 10 mins walk) and 15 mins from the city centre, which was ideal. Reception very helpful and hotel is comfortable although a little bit 1980s. Free breakfast (cereals, croissants, etc) is a nice touch and there is also a small bar area.... more
