Nice hotel close to the centre

Nice hotel close to the centre just opposite the castle. Parking is available but can be a bit tight. We could walk to all the areas we wanted to see. Lots of dining options in walking distance.

The Holiday Inn is in an excellent location for the castle and everything Cardiff has to offer. The lobby, bar and breakfast area are modern and welcoming; and the buffet breakfast was very good. My only criticism was that our room, although large with a comfy bed, was a bit tired and shabby; it lacked the modern touches that the reception and restaurant have been furnished with and the bathroom is small and a bit drab. As we were staying on a concert weekend the room rate was higher than usual and therefore the tiredness was more disappointing. For convenience we would possibly book again but I would think twice if comparable city centre hotels were available.

The Hotel was clean and comfortable, staff were very friendly and service was very good. Parking was quite busy but very convenient behind the Hotel. The Hotel location was excellent for the city centre and local amenities. We have stayed before and would stay again.

Very comfortable hotel with excellent restaurant

We liked the large rooms and bathroom. The air conditioning was quiet. We had delicious dinner at the restaurant downstairs. The castle is 5 minutes walking distance and there are many restaurants and stores nearby. We walked from the train station to the hotel. The staff were very friendly.

Poor experience

Visited Cardiff for a 50th birthday party so wanted a bed for the night. Everything was OK until at 7am two loud (possibly drunk) men barged into our room, singing and shouting. When they saw us in bed they said “Oh, we thought this was our room, Reception gave us this number”. They left rapidly and left our door open until I shouted for them to shut it. Left us both shaken and spoilt an otherwise lovely weekend. On departure we reported this to Reception and the Receptionist refunded us our breakfast charge. Rather disappointed.
