Good value for money - poor beds
Advantages: Located in-between Cardiff City Centre and Cardiff Bay Disadvantages: Old, uncomfortable, beds
...visit to an Express by Holiday Inn after being impressed by a visit to another location.
On the booking website, it stated that a "water view" was available on request. So, we requested one as this would have been a nice view to wake up to. The water view was lovely. But tilt your head a little further up and all you see is an old docks crane, a huge industrial warehouse (which "churned" all night) and a busy road. None of these were really a problem ... ...windows did not need to be opened, as the room had a combined heating/cooling system.
Check-in was easy - although they were very strict with the "2pm check-in" rule. As a Priority Club member, our key was waiting for us when we arrived.
The car park exit was token operated - the tokens were in a jar on the reception desk (which they forgot to tell us about until we attempted to leave) so take a few on your first day to save having to visit each ...

Expensive but luxurious
Advantages: Luxurious, Lively Cardiff Bay Location Disadvantages: Price, Distance From City Centre
Situated in Cardiff Bay, St Davids Hotel and Spa is Cardiff's only five star rated hotel. Don't be suprised if, while being pampered in the luxury marine spa or enjoying drinks in Tides bar, you catch sight of a few famous faces! St Davids Hotel is four miles from the city centre, making it quieter than central hotels but less convenient for tourists planning to go shopping or sightseeing. Transport is available into the city centre by train and ... ...biggest waterfront development. Since it was regenerated, it has become a major attraction for visitors to Cardiff. A range of attractions are available, including water tours, Techniquest discovery centre and the Welsh Assembly building. There are also a selection of stylish bars and restaurants within the Atlantic Wharf development which provide top quality drinks and dining. Rooms:
With prices starting at £84 per room per night, St David's hotel ...

We went to the carvery style restaurant where you could eat all you liked for a rather reasonable price for a four star hotel (about £7.95 per head). The tables were draped with quality white linen and linen napkins.

A bed to die for
Advantages: Clean modern hotel in the heart of Cardiff, Disadvantages: A little pricey for many, car parking not included.
...there varying enormously. The Park Plaza I'm pleased to say, is definitely one of the best. The hotel is relatively new, and has only been open 2 yrs. It is located behind one of the main shopping streets, and within a 5 minute walk of the CIA, St Mary's Street (bars/clubs galore) and Cardiff Castle. Even to walk to the Stadium would be under 10 minutes even at my pace! Be careful with directions to the hotel as there are a few one way streets in ... ...you. The car park is a standard NCP just over the road. A discounted ticket is available and cost around £7 for the 24 hours. Into reception- this is very tastefully decorated in a modern contemporary theme. Lots of comfortable seating and art work. Reception was swift on both occasions we have stayed, although i was very wary when i was informed they'd have to authorise my card for an extra £50 to my card in case of "extras". I prefer to pay as ...

Part of the Hilton brand, the Cardiff Hilton is a relatively new 197 bedder, built over seven floors in the centre of Cardiff, the Capital of Wales. It claims to be a chic addition to the Hilton chain featuring all the trappings of a 5 star hotel. It is very central, near the city's shopping centres, Cardiff Castle and about a 10 min drive from the M4. ----------------------------------------------------
