3 star hotels in Cardiff

Hotel is in the city centre, so its very noisy but if you book a room here then you should already know, its glorious inside, it's massive! Loved the continent location of the hotel across the road is the castle too, very close to the train station loved all the convince. Rooms need a refurb but the hotel staff do a wonderful job of cleaning. Bed is super comfy and the room is quite big, TV is basic...

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable bed. Large room good shower!

The location of this hotel is perfect. The room was comfortable and clean. It’s such a beautiful hotel but does need a revamp to give if a bit of love. The lift wasn’t working but they were happy to help me with my suitcases to the 3rd floor.

The hotel is in need of a complete refurbishment. There is peeling window frames and wallpaper and the lifts don't work - not for the old and infirm. The room we were given was on the second floor and we were told it was overlooking the Castle which we couldn't see through dirty windows. Its a shame really as the hotel is very much part of Cardiff's history but you get the impression that the owners...

Stayed here as great location for winter wonderland. Asked for a room with a view if possible as it was a special trip and had a lovely view of the castle all lit up for Christmas

Stay here for a night but the service is beyond my expectations. I got a free upgrade to the larger room than what I've reserved with three beds, castle view through the window, they brought my luggage to the 3rd floor for free as well cause there's no lift in the hotel. Perfect, would recommend you to stay here!

Clean hotel, nice staff, good location, average food

Vintage touch with a carpet and wooden desk. I loved it. Spacious rooms for the price with a bathtub. Only drawback. There are no power sockets next to the bed. Perfect location next to the castle. I have not heard any noise at night. Super quiet.

Outstanding services, happy new year

I requested a room away from the road and got one which was appreciated. Really warm welcome from reception staff on arrival and in the restaurant at breakfast, which was excellent. Reception areas, bar, restaurant and lifts were all modern, clean and offered plenty of seating. Our room was very clean and the bed/pillows were very comfortable. If i was being really picky the room, bathroom and corridor...

Room was a little bit small and it was extremely hot at night because the AC was on heater mode and if we turned it off we could only rely on opening the windows for ventilation. But staffs were very kind and offered us two fans. Toilet was also a bit tiny but the rest is alright.

Good location, rooms were a bit tired and could do with modernising. Bed was quite firm

Was the cheapest option I could find on that day, but it really impressed me. Location was good, right next to Cardiff queen street and around 20 mins by foot from Cardiff central. Hotel was nice, staff were friendly and had all the necessary amenities. Rooms were quite small but sufficient unless you have big luggages. Only issue I had was that there’s a dip in the middle of the bed which was quite...

Its an okay experience.⭐⭐⭐ I booked a double room, and it was very basic - okay for a night.

Booked here as I’m having an exam at Cardiff in the early morning. Soundproof was AWFUL even though I asked for a quiet room. Even with earplugs I can hear people opening and closing the doors at 2 AM and later as people jumping (?) on the floor above. I guess I only managed to sleep 3-4 hours that night, before the exam that matters a lot to me. It was DREADFUL. I don’t understand why I was given...

The room was good and clean, Value for money. But no kettle, The room was compact but well-designed, with a comfy bed and everything working perfectly. Great value for money if you want a simple, hassle-free place to sleep.15 min walk to city centre and helping staff

Overall, this place is fine, but it's disappointing considering it's a Holiday Inn. The decor is very tired and in need of a refresh. There's no lunch available, and the quality of the food is pretty average. However, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the beds were nice and comfy.

Breakfast was very good and a lot of choice . Very comfortable stay Kids really enjoyed the stay

A few small niggles with the room, we were only given 3 towels for 4 of us, the shower temperature knob was broken and kept falling off without barely being touched and there was also a clump of hair under one of the duvets which was a bit gross. The kids used the pool, the changing rooms are very basic and could at least do with a few hooks in/near the showers but they had fun. Breakfast was enjoyed...

Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room. Air conditioning was a little noisy but bearable. Breakfast was standard, nice and hot / fresh, we paid £6 per person. Property is a little older, needs updating / maintenance. Pool water was murky, just about see the bottom of the pool - could not see the other person at other end of a 10m pool (best guess for its size). EV charging available...

Stayed at this hotel last year. Such wonderful staff - very helpful and friendly! Decent size pool although could be cleaner. Rooms/bathrooms/dining area were all really clean. Breakfast was lovely, a good variety of food available. It was a lovely break, we all really enjoyed our stay including the kids. Good location for exploring the city.

My family and I stayed here last Friday during Stirm Eunice on route to London. Easy to access off M4. Rooms spacious beds comfy we were below ground floor so no view to speak off and there was an odd smell dispelled somewhat when windows opened. The Health Centre was in poor general condition around the pool in particular. Stronger odour there. But reception area spacious and light with modern decor...

The location is great. Within walking distance of shopping and dining. Safe neighborhood. The lobby is stunning and there’s a quaint little bar. The rooms are pretty dated and could use some maintenance and thorough cleaning and updating. Strangely, one of the elevators is perpetually broken so it can be a really long wait to get up/down in the hotel. We stayed here as a part of a Trafalgar Tour...

I paid £25 for valet parking when checked in hotel on June 4 but the hotel didn’t pay parking charge at parking lot so I had received another penalty parking charge from BPA on June 7

Stayed for one night. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was fully stocked with variety of food and beverages.

The hotel is in a really good area, near the main shopping mall, there you can find all the necessary items and places to eat. The room was spacious and with a double bed. All amenities are in a well working condition. Breakfast wasn't included, but due to technical issues, I couldn't pay for my breakfast. The Maggie at the reception sorted the issue very promptly, professionally and polite. The food...

An excellent location from where to explore Cardiff! Lots of shops and tourist areas within walking distance.

Clean, modern, and perfectly situated between the Bay and the city center. The power shower was great and the "Express Start" breakfast was a lovely bonus. Special shoutout to the reception team who were incredibly helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Nice hotel but bit out of way of Cardiff centre. We were advised not to walk back at night but use a cab service as the area being developed and we were just warned it may not be as safe as we would expect Hotel was busy and at breakfast it was hard to find a table free or cleaned for you. Coffee area was very untidy and littered and floor by food felt slippy and the area was messy with food. Room...

Complementary breakfast is good. Enjoy talking with the multi-national service crew.

This is our third visit to this hotel. Our room was on the third floor, accessible via the lift and overlooked the waterfront. Comfortable, spacious and very clean. Parking cost £10 for 24 hours which we thought was reasonable. It’s an easy walk to the Millennium Centre for shows and events and everything else that Tge Bay offers. Staff are always friendly, especially check in staff and the lady who...

I stayed for one night at Holiday Inn Express and had an excellent experience. The hotel was very clean and well maintained, and the facilities were great. The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout my stay. Everything was comfortable and well organised, which made the stay stress-free. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

Very convenient hotel, with parking outside, short walk to city centre and great breakfast

My stay here was agreeable and adequate. Check-in staff were polite and easy to approach as well as housekeeping staff. The room was a good sized space. My room was on the top floor, 10th floor, and I was happy about that but the lifts are slow. The bed was 2 singles pushed together so was somewhat uncomfortable. Shower had no glass door to spot water splashing onto bathroom floor so had to put towels...

Only issue was I couldn't see out the windows

The room had no windows that could be opened and was very stuffy. There is only one fan. And the windows are all covered with privacy films. Can't see outside at all. It was supposed to be very beautiful outside. The stay was very depressing.

The hotel is in a very good location, right next to Cardiff Railway Station and the downtown commercial street. It is also very close to the castle, only a ten-minute walk away. The family room is quite large and the bathroom is not small. However, after staying for two days, no one cleaned up, the trash can was not emptied, and the service was average.

It’s not hot in the afternoon so that u can’t stay there until the sunset.

Close to the railway, a little chaotic

Was a bit hard to find but did! For the price was fine nothing fancy but for one night to just sleep on bed and go was good.

Hotel is ok if you want a night in Cardiff but its very noisey,  found it difficult to sleep baecause you can here all the noise on St Marys Street,  also there was no bottle water in room which was disappointing for money spent.

The room was clean, had free WiFi in the room. Heated towels for a shower.

Excellant location, ideal for rugby. Hotel room was abit dated tv didn’t work, windows couldn’t be opened,

Great service, friendly staff. Central location with plenty of food and shops nearby

Excellent location, arrived by train, which is just a 5 min walk. Staff were lovely, bedrooms were warm and clean. And the breakfast was delicious!  ( only slight criticism… the coffee not great , could do with a fancy coffee machine, giving the options of different styles of coffees )  Otherwise would definitely be returning in the future .

Great hotel and in a great location. Ideal for a visit to Cardiff for any purpose as location is highly accessible to different transport links.

Very close to city center and easy to commute.All facilities are provided. Also help me to store my luggage after check out. Very convenient. But the room is quite small and no windows on it.

The room had a view of the trainline, was decent in size but seems the extractor in the bathroom was not working, made it known to the receptionist but not sure it was addressed till we left.

It was a lovely stay we’ve stayed before and it’s always so lovely and in such a convenient place. The reception are amazing and the place is super clean

The hotel staff were friendly and catered to all our requirements . The only drawback was that there was no car parking available and it was a bit of a hassle finding one

I stayed here for 2 nights and had such a great time. The hotel is in a strategic location in the city centre, very close to many stores, restaurants, and pubs. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was decent, and the room had good amenities, though it was a bit congested. Thankfully, I was staying alone, so it wasn’t an issue. There’s no parking available at the hotel, so if...

Wonderful! Small but cosy room, good cleanliness and very friendly, helpful and service-minded staff. Big pillows, comfortable bed. Free WiFi. Would have loved breakfast facility but didn't miss it much as the overall stay is great.

Yes...all new room/ensuite c... v clean great service

The staff are friendly and welcoming, the room was well furnished and comfortable.

Great location, great staff and clean rooms.

Absolutely fab time st Elgano, sparkling clean and spacious comfy room. Alfredo was super gracious host in restaurant and all staff were really friendly and looked after me being a solo guest. Highly recommend staying at this hotel and I will be sure to stay again. Thank you!

Highly recommended a stay Absolutely fantastic stay, sparkling clean and spacious room, stayed in the coach house, well maintained and comfy room. Had food in restaurant and Alfredo was a gracious host. All staff very friendly and looked after me being on my own. Will definitely be staying again and going to visit restaurant.

The location of this hotel is between Cardiff Bay and the city centre; it’s a 20 minute walk to each give or take. The studio flat concept would be great for someone here for work. Breakfast is pretty much the same as Holiday Inn Express. Overall this hotel is slightly better than that but not on the level of a Crowne Plaza or more premium hotel.

You cannot get a better property in the price. It was very comfortable, had all the amenities, and was truly amazing! Best IHG property I’ve ever stayed at.

The room was clean and tidy, with a kitchen. There's a convenience store and restaurant downstairs. Parking costs £10, and breakfast is available.

This is an excellent place to stay in Cardiff! I really appreciate the top-notch service that makes it stand out.

had a fantastic stay at Staybridge Suites Cardiff. The room size was amazing, far more spacious than I expected and it made the whole stay feel extra comfortable and relaxing. A very clean hotel. The facilities were great too, with everything you’d need for a short or longer stay. I was very impressed overall and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Nice accomodation on the quayside. 15-20min walk to the city centre, about £6 in an uber. 2 night stay, didnt see many staff but the ones we did see were doing great work. A star off for the room not being serviced but wasn't a disaster, and one off for location as not alot to do in the immediate area. However this did mean it was nice and quiet at night.

Good location Good room Great to get to where we wanted for the day and back And my child what's to go back there again on our next adventure

I went with my boyfriend for a two-day trip to Cardiff and stayed here. It was a wonderful place for the price we paid. The room was clean and new, the bathroom was really great, and we also had a cute balcony. The TV had Netflix which was amazing. I definitely recommend this place. ❤️

Lovely place (but shower wasn’t very good) very clean close to amenities and would stay again next time I’m back down in Cardiff

I booked direct and right from the start the information and communication provided was impeccable. Parking instructions were easy to follow. Hotel check in was efficient. The room was not only beautiful and cosy but we felt so comfortable heating was perfect and could help ourselves to hot drinks. Bathroom was spotless. Kettle for hot drinks and plates and cutlery and microwave provided. Easy to...

Great experience with nice rooms and facilities available. The fridge was really handy. A bit far from the centre tho.

Stayed here for 3 nights and what a lovely little B&B it is. Room was lovely spacious , clean and decorated tastefully. Breakfast was a lovely selection of light choices I especially liked was the extra dried fruits for your cereal or yogurt. Only downfall is the lounge diner is freezing definately need some heating put in there. Close to the city centre and on a direct bus route.

Easy access to the guest house and my room with a code. Very convenient location for attending an event at the Utilita arena. Regarding cleanliness there were some issues:-the carpets in the room and hallways are dirty, very worn chair in my room, dirt on wall and very dark stains on duvet and mattress protector that can be seen through the sheets. The bathroom facilities all looked very clean. Overall...

The location is very convenient for central Cardiff, stadium railway etc. the property itself was not the one shown in the advert as they run several properties in the local area. The bathrooms were clean but my room was tired and had stains and broken blinds. The heating was either on or off as the controls were not self explanatory. Having stayed in many cities for what you get I felt the price was...

Good cleaning quite environment Austins guest house good for families couples

It was very nice and close to Cardiff Castle. It would be even better if they had shampoo etc. I recommend it for solo travelers.

Well run budget guest house near city Great guest house if you're on a budget. Certainly no frills, all self service but clean and well run place. V near city centre also

Great apartment when made up for two rooms Stayed here for Oasis opening night so it was much more expensive than usual - wasn't everything! Super close to the stadium. Very clean. Didn't get the pre-arrival email but called the emergency line at the front door and was given the codes - really nice chap on customer service who was really helpful. Was expecting a two room apartment so he immediately...
