Visiting Cardiff, United Kingdom


The Welsh capital began life as a Roman fort, and the whimsical 11th-century Cardiff Castle stands on the same site. The modern city is a burgeoning center for art and music. Excellent restaurants, lively bars and hip boutiques line Mermaid Quay along Cardiff Bay, and a collection of cosmopolitan hotels are clustered in the city. The National History Museum, detailing the country's social history, is Wales' most visited attraction. Cardiff is an excellent base for exploring South Wales.

Mercure The Lodge Cardiff

3 of 5 stars
Bristol, UK
Nov 8, 2009

This is one of three hotels owned by Accor in the area and is very much the middle ground between the ultra-basic Etap and the more upmarket Novotel. As such, it's relatively inexpensive - we paid £66...more

Whilst the service was charming and helpful, the meal, surprisingly after all the good reviews failed to live up to expectations. We started with samosas which were dry and slightly burnt and...more
