Ideally located in Cardiff, Parador 44 offers air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Guests can have a drink at the bar.

The breakfast was outstanding as the selection was fresh and had a Spanish flare. The cappuccinos were the best we’ve tasted! The staff are friendly and very accommodating. We enjoyed the lounge and outside patio. The location to our venue and to the train station was only a 10 minute walk. On the way home from our venue stopping by all the shops and stores was wonderful. It did not feel like a hotel- more like a comfortable flat.

It's a very clean and nice property not far from Cardiff City Centre. We booked two rooms for our family and both the rooms were very nice, spacious enough to accommodate all of us. Clean toilets, comfy rooms, and quite happy with our stay. It was nice of the owner of the property Andrew to come over and greet us when we were checking out...

In the Cardiff Outskirts district of Cardiff, close to Cardiff Bay, Luxe Apartments, The Moorwell, Parking, Gym - 10mins Cardiff City Ctr features a fitness centre and a washing machine. This apartment provides free private parking, a lift and free WiFi. The property offers soundproof units and is located 5.9 km from Motorpoint Arena Cardiff.

The Moorwell was perfect for our needs - 3 friends in town for a concert in Cardiff! Spacious, comfortable, modern, and clean apartment within a 5-10 minute walk to the charming and convenient shops of Penarth or the Dingle Road train station. We fell in love with the town of Penarth, and it was so easy to catch a train or ride share into the city or to go site-seeing at a nearby castle. Great kitchen and living space, enormous flat screen TV in living room, nice ensuite bath for the main bedroom. Big windows with a nice view. The trains ran right under our window but they didn't bother us at all. The offsite host was extremely helpful with providing key codes and instructions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Set in Cardiff, 10 km from Cardiff University, The Gwaelod y Garth Inn offers accommodation with a terrace, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. Located around 12 km from Motorpoint Arena Cardiff, the hotel with free WiFi is also 12 km away from Cardiff Castle. The property is non-smoking and is located 12 km from University of South Wales - Cardiff Campus.

There are only 3 rooms in the building we stayed in, it was nice and quiet. There was a large wardrobe and the toiletries and towels in the bathroom were nicely presented, they had also provided a couple of boxes of tissues. We were pleasantly surprised to discover a small fridge with some drinking water in it and some fresh milk for the tea and coffee (the owner told us later that he supplies fresh milk because he dislikes UHT milk in his own tea and coffee). We stayed for 3 nights and had a superb breakfast each morning. I'm pleased I took their advice and booked an evening meal in advance, the restaurant is very popular. Our meal was so tasty that we booked for the following evening too, that meal was also extremely good. The staff were very welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When I was originally booking the room I was concerned about the check-in time because we were going to a gig in Cardiff on the first night and wouldn't get to the hotel until well after the check-in time. However when I mentioned my problem they replied swiftly and arranged a self check-in which went very smoothly. Parking was nice and close to the entrance to the accommodation. We will definitely be booking again next year when we're back in Cardiff.

Located 5.8 km from Cardiff Bay, Greystones provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is around 7.9 km from Principality Stadium, 8 km from Motorpoint Arena Cardiff and 8 km from St David's Hall. The property is non-smoking and is situated 7.8 km from Cardiff Castle.

Beautiful home located by a golf course. Our rooms consisted of a large bedroom upstairs and a kitchenette downstairs. Throughout, everything was immaculate. The property is within walking distance of several eating establishments and about four miles from Cardiff city centre. It’s a short walk to the train station. By chance, we happened to be in Cardiff when King Charles paid a visit so the city was alive and vibrant.

    The location was perfect for me and my family, the property is very close to the Bay and also City centre. As you can imagine having 2 toddlers and a 7 year space is needed when staying away so this was perfect for us. The host was really helpful and messaged us a list of things we can do with the kids around Cardiff some for free. Clean property and will 100% return again.

    Travelled with my family (wife and 3 young kids). Nice simple hotel. Location was very good. Affordable parking was available via Just Park app. Rooms were decent and clean. Shower/toilet were good. Breakfast was simple but decent; it did the job! No complaints.

    The location was absolutely perfect near to local shops, transportation, restaurants you name it. As for us we had 3 small kids whom enjoyed playing in the garden safely and child friendly, we felt at home from the moment we stepped into our apartment. The host David was always on the phone when we needed anything, very polite and friendly. Highly recommend and we will be coming back very soon.

    The staff are fantastic. Very friendly! couldnt do enough!!! And we absolutely love that!!! What an excellent team! Facilities fantastic. - spa facilities available which was a bonus!! Would perhaps like to see discount in the shed restaurant for hotel customers! Spend £120 on dinner and breakfast for two adults and a baby. Breakfast could be included again a bit pricey! But couldn’t fault the food. Excellent!! Quiet night sleep. Great entertainment in the bar family friendly!

    Accomodating staff. Free wi-fi that was consistent throughout my stay. Sleep quality was good. Within easy walking distance of the town centre, but far enough away from the noise of the all-night party that Cardiff is on a weekend. Attracts sports teams, families with children, hen night gangs, but all are all respectful of the rights of others to get a good nights sleep. Basic facilities are reflected in its affordable price. Vigilant, night-time security staff gives added reassurance to my daughter (and me for my daughter's safety)

    The fully digitised check-in system meant that it didn't matter that I arrived very late in the evening on my first night. Proprietors didn't have to stay up to let me in, etc. Whole place was clean and tidy. Wide range of options for the TV. Families with young children would have no trouble finding something suitable for the kids to watch, or maybe a movie for themselves.

    Location was great - could walk through the park into town with 2 small children very easily (great for scooting too as it is flat). Room was lovely - much quieter than we anticipated given it was a bank holiday wekend and we were staying above a pub! Staff were very friendly and even the sofa bed was comfy! Plus the breakfast was great - we just got it in the pub rather than booking it in which gave us moreb choice on scale (worked well for the kids who shared a french toast). Couldnt fault it really and would definitly stay again.
