Holiday Inn Cardiff City Centre Hotel

I stay at this hotel at least a dozen times a year due to it being located close to the Millennium Stadium and Cardiff Arms Park. The hotel is going through a much needed facelift. The external appearance of the hotel is being totally transformed and I'm sure when finished it will be extremely attractive. Apparently the hotel has also undergone an internal makeover too with the modernisation of the guest rooms. My most recent visit was on 18th August and my room, a double overlooking the castle, had certainly been updated but... more

I may have just got unlucky but I got an electric shock from the iron and I was awoken by drilling outside my bedroom window at 8.30am.

The 1st thing to notice is that they are having work done on the hotel between the hours of 08.00-17.00 Mon-Fri Arrived Friday morning only a few spaces on the 85 space carpark .Found the reception to be rather dark but no problems with the checkinn the room was nice and clean but did seem to be a bit cluttered and like all Holiday inn smelled clean and fresh.The bed was comfy not too hard but not to soft. The £18.50 for 2 people for breakfast would have been ok if like me you can eat a lot of food .I can reccomend the chocolate muffins.... more

Stayed at this hotel on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. I would never stay there on a Friday or Saturday night again. On both nights there was a disco blaring until 1.00 a.m., which disturbed us even though we were on the 4th floor, and on the first night people were still running along corridors and banging doors at 3.30 a.m. At breakfast on the Sunday a group of young lads, obviously still hungover, disturbed the other diners by shouting to and at each other across the restaurant. However, the staff were all friendly and... more

Nice hotel and very convenient to the Millennium Stadium, however very pricey at £125 a night. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would I stay again? Yes, if it cost about £50 a night less.

I generally stay here with work and so don't have any problems about value for money, although let me just say that I personally wouldn't pay what they ask for a standard room!!! The outside looks like something from Stalin's imagination but there's not a lot they can do about that. The inside is slowly being refurbished and so if you get one of the new rooms you're fine - 321 is okay with a great view of both rugby stadia - but the unrefurbished floors may remind you of the spare room at Aunty Beryl's all those years ago complete with... more

I've stayed here a few times for the weekends when i go to the university for my part time course. The rooms are always absolutely fine and clean. I have only ever stayed in a 'standard' room and find these provide a reasonable bed with basic bathrooms that have good power-showers. The pillows are those horrible cotton wool ones but the beauty of this place is that the front desk will bring up pillows of your choice from a 'menu' (nice feather ones). The front desk are always happy to help if you ring them and friendly. Some of... more
