Holiday Inn Cardiff City, an IHG Hotel

Every member of the team we met/had contact with during our stay was welcoming, professional, polite and went above and beyond - An excellent team Layout of hotel was good Food good quality, room service delivered promptly, food hot. Rugby was on, on the day of our stay - so the traffic was busy, we phoned the hotel for advice/assistance on how to access and they were very helpful guiding us to the hotel / parking.

Fantastic reception, friendly and helpful staff. Room view over Cardiff Arms Park. Fantastic location for our needs. Comfortable room. Comfortable bed. Clean bathroom. Warm shower. Superb breakfast.

I visited Cardiff with my son to see the Speedway GP at Principality Stadium, he was very pleased to be able to see the stadium from our room. Breakfast was good, maybe a little bit chilly to sit there in the morning though. Location, as I already mentioned, was for us excellent. Close to our main goal for this trip and also close to the City Centre for lunch and dinner and just strolling the town. We also had our first live view of Bowls without leaving the room, a sport that is very rare in Sweden... :)

Fantastic location for exploring cardiff city centre, a few minutes walk into the heart of the centre. Bute park is just across the road. Together with the location and the hotel's own car park was the seller for me. The car park is 15 pounds for 24 hours (time starts from purchasing online). We arrived around 6.30pm on Friday night but still managed to get a space (the car park is pretty compacted). The mobile phone paying system for the car park on arrival was easy to use with scanning instructions posted at the entrance of car park; however, if you get tired like me after a long drive, be careful to select your leaving time accurately. Luckily, I checked and asked at reception to rectify my mistake of selecting an am departure instead of pm. The room was comfortable but a little worn. Has the usual amenities in the room..towels, shower gel and shampoo, kettle and tea bags for making tea (but you need to search for these). Recommend visiting National Museum Cardiff, it is free and so much to see, around a 13 minutes walk. 'Fabulous' Welsh cakes are worth a try when they are nice and hot, 2 minutes walk.

Fantastic location for match day right by the stadium. And despite that was quiet enough in the evening/night. Check in and check out couldn’t have been made easier. Breakfast was great and self service meant you could have as much as you wanted.
