"It’s ok!"
We stayed here as we were seeing a concert in Principality stadium. It’s about 1.5 miles away from the stadium but an uber takes about 15 minutes and it’s nice and far enough away that there’s not loads of traffic around. There’s no car parking at the hotel but the building next door is literally a huge Q Park. It’s easy to find and use. You can validate your parking ticket in the reception area too for a cheaper parking price. The rooms was fine, it wasn’t the best premier inn room we’ve stayed in. The room itself was clean and the beds were comfy but the bathroom didn’t feel that clean. There was a lot of rust and gunk build up around the soap and shower gel dispensers and broken shower curtain loops etc. which made it feel a bit crusty. Breakfast was very pleasant as always. It’s hot and there was plenty of it. We went down for breakfast around 9.30 and some pastry bits were slim pickings but we chose to eat later so that’s on us. It’s a great location if you’re wanting to be in the Cardiff Bay Area, it’s less than a 5 minute walk to Mermaid Quay
"Great Stay – Clean Rooms and Friendly Staff!"
We had a great experience staying at the Holiday Inn. The rooms were lovely—spotlessly clean and very comfortable. From the moment we arrived, we were given such a warm and friendly welcome, which really set the tone for our stay. All the staff we met were incredibly nice and helpful, always happy to assist with anything we needed. The location is convenient too—parking is just around the corner, and it was really easy to get Ubers into Cardiff city centre. Would definitely stay here again!
"Wonderful stop at Cardiff bay"
Speaking to our group, the majority of whom stayed elsewhere in Cardiff, we got the better hotel, closer to Cardiff bay and its prime festivities. The staff were wonderful, car parking extra but right next door. We were warmed prior to our stop that there was building work and scaffolding but this did not impact on us at all. All the staff were helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was tasty and served in a very clean area.
"Good and bad"
Staff that worked in the evening in bar restaurant and reception were great all doing what ever need, we had a problem with our bill this was sorted straight away. Very nice room we stayed in premier plus room, lots off hot water ,fridge, good bed and air conditioning. Food first night we eat in hotel had meal and breakfast next morning , meal was good , breakfast ok, then on the Thursday as going home on Friday decided to stay in hotel again to eat, big mistake, starters not as good as Monday had pizza for main that was ok but to big could have had one between us,next morning at breakfast cold plates cold food , they did put up more bacon but no better. So when we left for home left with bad impression
"Would stay here again"
We opted for a premium room upgrade.Large room with king size bed.Stayed at the back of the building,very quiet apart from some current building work noise after 8am (we had been made aware of this) Staff were extremly helpful and pleasant,extra towels,tea milk etc.Bus to city centre just around the corner.
