Stayed for one weekend night. Arrived in the dark. Car park was very full and hotel lobby seemed busy. Our ground floor room was clean. We had booked a standard room and it was a twin, so maybe enquire on booking if this is important. The beds had one flat-ish pillow each and there was only one extra. Nonetheless we... more

Stayed here for 1 night in April 2009, thought the hotel was good, clean, basic. Hotel is located near the former docks outside of Cardiff, nice setting behind hotel. Free parking on-site. Cinema/restaurant complex located about a 10 minute walk away, lively sounding bar adjacent to hotel. Room was basic but clean. Breakfast was fair. The night I stayed there... more

On the whole this hotel is ok but a couple of points. Firstly, apparently if you book online and choose a "standard" room, what you are actually allocated is a twin room beacuse ".... thats how it comes up here.." Having checked again, I think it may be fair comment. The answer is either to book direct and specify or... more

We stayed here for one night using our Priority Reward points. The location is good....10 minutes walk to the Bay & about 15 minutes to the City centre. Parking was free & we were able to keep our car in the car park on the day of departure whislt we went shopping. The general appearence and cleanliness of the hotel... more

I stayed at the hotel after being recommended by a friend and I was not disappointed. The location was central, easy walking distance into the town, bay, stadium and there was free car parking!! The staff were excellent, really looked after us and it felt like we hadn't left home. Though the hotel is a holiday inn express, it feels... more

Stayed for 2 nights at the Cardiff Bay Holiday Inn Express whilst attending the Speedwat Grand Prix at the Millenium Stadium. The hotel rooms were very clean and had a flat screen tv with limited channels, if you wanted to view sky sports you needed to go to the lounge area. Only downside to my room was that the window... more

We've just come back from three nights in Cardiff to see the Ashes. Because we managed to get tickets only a few weeks before the test, the prices in Cardiff for hotels was shocking. I ended up booking the Holiday Inn Express as I took advantage of their reward points loyalty scheme so the whole stay only cost £56 -... more

Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express for 2 nights to attend a concert at the International Arena. On arrival were given a ground floor room, asked to be moved to a higher floor - no problem. Rooms clean and a good size, all areas well kept and the staff friendly and very helpful. The hotel has free parking, unusual for... more

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
