The Marriot Hotel , Cardiff.
Location: This hotel is 50m from the main strip of pubs and clubs in the throbbing centre of Cardiff. It is only 200m from the train station, and clearly visible from it. The location could not be better for a stay in the city.
Price: I paid 110 pounds for a normal double room, with 2 for breakfast, though checking the board in the hotel the 'rack rate' for that room is 165 pounds, so there stands a testament to booking on the internet!
Lobby: As you walk through the doors it is clear that this is a 'higher market' hotel. The huge floral display on the main table helped to give it away! It was both very light and cheery, with plenty of seating, both secluded and public.
Service: The check-in process was pleasant and painless, not a sensation always experienced in hotels! All questions were ...
Advantages: Central, Spacious, 4* Disadvantages: Small Car Park Extra Charge!

The Eucharist is celebrated daily
The Cathedral does have a small shop, but refreshments are only available by prior arrangement, as are guided tours. (Contact: office@llandaffcathedral.org.uk). However, there is a small café in Llandaff village itself, only a few minutes walk from the Cathedral.
Car Parking in the area of the Cathedral Green is free and although unrestricted, is obviously busy during services, weddings and the like. There is also a free car park in Llandaff Village about a one minute walk away. There are frequent bus services to Llandaff, (route 25, 33, 33A & 62 from Cardiff Central Railway/Bus Station) which is only about 3 miles away.
I have visited the Cathedral many times over the years, sung there in choirs and rang the (old) bells, and always there is something new to find - this is a very large, magnificent ...
