Pros

Early check-in at 2:00 PM available when booking directly with the hotel

Convenient location between both main Cardiff train stations

Multiple restaurants within 0.5 miles including Wahaca Cardiff, The Chapel 1877, and Bill's Cardiff Central

Easy access to Cardiff's year-round events including rugby, football, comedy, theater, and music concerts

Cons

No on-site parking available

No air conditioning in the rooms

“Location is a clear advantage here, particularly for Motorpoint Arena attendees, and some rooms offer impressive city views; upgrades appear worthwhile, providing modern comfort. Parking can be tight, but the central location means alternatives are close. For a practical base in Cardiff, it's a solid option.”
