Have become quite a fan of Holiday Inn Express Hotels recently and Cardiff Bay didn't disappoint. Within walking distance of both Cardiff City and Cardiff bay. Very comfortable rooms. All you need for a short break without the frills. Staff are very helpful and go to no end of trouble to keep the customer satisfied. Will return to this hotel... More

We were given early check in which was a bonus. The rooms are your typical chain hotel rooms and although the breakfast is free its rather simple. They have a nice pub next store called the wharf. This is a good place if you have a car otherwise you would have to do a lot of walking or cabs because... More

Although this is just a chain hotel it has one big thing going for it (apart from the price - we paid £59 for bed and breakfast for one night which isn't bad), and that the location. It is about equidistant from Cardiff Bay and from the City centre: both are about ten minutes walk from the hotel. This was... More

The hotel is new, clean, and fresh looking. Beds are comfortable, and the breakfast is OK. The two drawbacks? The first is that you have to pay for internet, which is annoying. The second is that to turn the power on in the room, you have to place your key card in the slot by the door. What this means... More

We booked for two nights with the intention of going on a sea fishing trip which, unfortuneatley, was cancelled but as we had booked the hotel thought we would make a weekend of it. The hotel itself was good with a pleasant welcome from the receptionist. The room was basic but with all the amenities one would expect, it was... More

We stayed here for a weekend break in early March. We arrived early in the morning (about 9.00) and altough we couldn't check in (and didn't expect to be able too) we were allowed to park our car up and go and explore the City - The receptionist even gave us printed map and highlighted the route to the bay...

Booked for one night whilst spending some leisure time at Cardiff Bay. Check in was easy, very friendly, helpful staff. The room was fine - clean, modern, everything you'd want. I'd read awful reviews about the breakfast, so wasn't expecting much! To my surprise, there was a good selection of cereals, fruit, pastries etc. Also, a small selection of cooked... More

The hotel was a £7 taxi journey from Cardiff central train station, we were promptly checked in with minimum fuss and I found our room to be clean, spacious and had a nice view of Cardiff Bay. The hotel itself is in a good location, not a great location but a good one, it's about a 25-30 minute walk to... More

As a Platinum member it is impossible to get an upgrade here but what a welcome rooms where adequate, comfy beds, great view of Atlantic Wharf. Pleasant 15 min walk to centre 10 mins to the bay, excellent location and a well replenished breakfast buffet. We where down for the RHS Flower Show there where Stag and Hen night parties... More
