We stayed in the family room for 2 nights in May 2013. In our long trip in the UK over four cities, we found that this was our favorite hotel. The room was quite big, even for non-European standards. It's in a great location: Cardiff Central railway station is about 15 minutes away (but be sure to plan your route... More

I've had bad experiences at Holiday Inn properties, but I'm glad I booked the Cardiff one. A really reasonable rate, and an accomodating approach to a family of 5 (we were able to get an extra bed put into a "2 Queen Bed" room; something a lot of other hotels wont do) were a good start. Once we arrived, check... More

This is a good Holiday Inn, well placed for visitors to Cardiff. Very handy for the Cardiff Arms Park and Millennium Stadium. It is also just across the road from Cardiff castle. It is a short walk away from shops in Cardiff. The hotel staff are friendly and welcoming. Check in was quick and it's was easy to find the... More

I have just spent one night staying at the Holiday Inn Cardiff City Centre and it was a pleasant stay. Location is perfect, right in the centre of everything, directly opposite Cardiff Castle and Bute Park and the Millenium Stadium directly behind (the stadium overlooks the car park at the rear of the hotel). You can get a water taxi... More

The check-in staff are excellent, and the breakfast was also excellent. But...I object not just to paying for the internet, but such an exorbitant charge of GBP5.00 per hour. This is I presume H Inn policy, not the fault of the local staff. But hwy is it I can go to the local pub and have free internet, but be... More

I stayed here for over 3 weeks in April 2013 whilst I was attending a company training course being held in Cardiff.

I stayed while responsible for a series of meetings in Cardiff. The hotel was modern, clean and extremely conveniently located. The staff were friendly and on the one day that we used meeting space in the hotel we were very well looked after. My one gripe was that my room was very small, bordering on tiny: for a four night...

I am sorry that the room size did not meet your requirements for the length of stay. A small percentage of our rooms are smaller and we as a business should have anticipated your needs for a longer stay and allocated a more suitable room. I was glad to note the team looked after you, and this was the only... More
