Cardiff and related destinations

Between the medieval walls of Cardiff Castle and the ultramodern curves of Wales Millennium Centre lies a city that refuses to be typecast. Wander through Cardiff Market where vendors hawk everything from Welsh cakes to vintage vinyl. The National Museum houses Impressionist masterpieces that would make Paris jealous, displayed with Welsh understatement. Rugby matches at Principality Stadium transform the city into a sea of red jerseys and song. Bute Park offers an unexpected urban wilderness where locals picnic beside the River Taff. For family adventures, Barry Island Pleasure Park delivers seaside nostalgia just a short trip away. Don't miss Cardiff Bay, where restaurants occupy former docklands with harbour views worth lingering over.

Novotel Cardiff Centre

8/10 Good
"The family room was good, although the sofa bed is a little narrow for two teenagers. We had two nights in another budget chain prior to arriving at the Novotel, where they provide two single fold-up beds which we found to be a much better arrangement amd more comfortable for the children. The room was clean. The pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna are excellent and were very welcome. The food in the restaurant was good, only the service being a little slow let it down. We thought the hotel parking at £24 for the day was expensive, until looking at the local multi-story alternatives that were £31 a day?! There are a few spaces on the road outside that are free between 18:00-08:00 that you can take advantage of. We would definitely stay there again."

Park Plaza Cardiff

Park Plaza Cardiff

8/10 Good
"I’ve been staying at this hotel since 2010, and it’s always been our go‑to place when visiting Cardiff. We’ve loved it for so long that even our now 11 year old looks forward to staying here. The staff are consistently helpful, the location is ideal, and the facilities have always contributed to a really enjoyable stay. However, this is the first visit where I’ve felt the hotel is overdue for a refurbishment. The rooms and bathrooms are showing their age, and the spa facilities in particular need attention. The changing rooms look very tired, and the rainfall shower experience is barely functioning. One additional point, although not the hotel’s fault, is the walk from the city centre. The area now has a large number of homeless individuals, and while I understand the complexity of the issue, it did make the walk back feel uncomfortable when I was alone with my son in the late evening."
