The best accommodations Cardiff

5-star hotel in Cardiff Bay, whose inhabitants are very proud! It is recognizable by the funny sail it wears on its roof and its very modern appearance with a glass structure. Many rooms overlook the port of Cardiff and enjoy a magnificent view. The whole is decorated in a rather refined and invigorating way, without being minimalist. The main assets of this jewel are the striking architecture, the chic and relaxing atmosphere, the superb spa: whirlpool, swimming pool and treatment possibilities such as massages or seaweed baths..

We fell in love with this small, clean and friendly inn, which is almost reminiscent of a Bed & Breakfast. Set over several floors in a pretty house, it has everything a tight but demanding budget could hope for: a pleasant welcome, very decent rooms, a well-appointed kitchen with free tea and coffee, a lounge with a large plasma TV and DVDs to borrow, a bright dining room and a small garden. An address to remember. Possibility of having a bed in a shared room. Copious and varied breakfast. Pay parking available nearby.

An elegant, glamorous hotel in the heart of the city, close to the castle and railway station, which is (and deserves to be!) part of the luxurious Hilton hotel chain. From the façade to the furnishings in the public areas, the hotel's curvaceous design emphasizes its spacious volumes. The rooms are discreetly elegant and relaxing. There's a fitness center and swimming pool. After exercise, you can choose to relax in the spa or piano bar, before treating yourself to a fine dinner in the Graze Restaurant. Very pleasant!

A luxury hotel, one of the oldest in Cardiff, housed in a historic landmark where meetings of Welsh MPs were held before the National Assembly was built in Cardiff Bay. The building, dating from the Victorian era (1884), is listed. Every effort has been made to preserve this heritage, while offering maximum comfort and modernity. The rooms are perfectly appointed, with contemporary decor and chic, cosy furnishings. And for those who like anecdotes: Nelson Mandela is said to have stayed here...

A modern address with a tangy style. Its main advantages: a perfect location, right next to the station, making it easy to set off on excursions, and a particularly friendly welcome. The hotel offers two types of room: "compact" rooms, small but ultra-functional and comfortable, where everything from the kettle to the hairdryer to the small desk has been taken care of; and more spacious rooms, preferable for longer stays.

The original restaurant is surrounded by a bay window, making it a fun place to watch passers-by as you enjoy a bite to eat.

Good chain hotel not surprisingly but ideally located, in a quiet area between Cardiff Bay and downtown. However, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the welcome is pleasant. Family rooms available. You will find the essentials: hair dryers, adapters if necessary.... In short, the essential without superfluous! Pets are allowed at a daily supplement (maximum 1 per room). Parking available (subject to charge)

The best location/price ratio in Cardiff. A hostel in the heart of the city center, a stone's throw from the castle and Principality Stadium. The 4- and 6-person rooms are very comfortable, with curtained alcoves for added privacy and small spaces to keep your belongings close to you. There are also lockers under the beds for storing suitcases. One section is reserved for women. In the basement, you'll find a kitchen and laundry facilities, very useful when you're staying for more than a few days.

The 83 minimalist, recently renovated rooms (standard or more spacious) are softened by a cameo of pastel colors. They're fully equipped, and you can even log in with your Netflix account on the TV. No windows, but huge glass panes (for the claustrophobic, they don't open) with panoramic views. Hearty breakfasts are served buffet-style. For the more fashionable, the penthouse is well worth a visit. Pets welcome. Frequent promotions on their website.

Ideally located in the heart of the city, this new hotel is a perfect pied-à-terre! The rooms are all well-equipped and very comfortable. In the interests of ecology, there are no mini-samples in the bathroom, only fixed refillable bottles! As far as the room is concerned, the only thing we regret is that the windows don't open. There's a gym and a pleasant café on the first floor. Breakfast is served on the top floor, in the restaurant, and is absolutely perfect!

The hostel is a little out of the way, but it's the only one with a 5-star rating in the UK! Don't worry, it's still within easy reach, even on foot, of the Welsh capital's main attractions. What's more, you'll find friendly staff on site! Among the 320 beds available, you can choose between private or shared rooms. The communal areas (lounge, bar and dining room) are colorful, clean and pleasant. If the whole lacks a little charm, it's still a very good value for money.

You can also book penthouses, two sublime, fully-equipped apartments for two or four people. A full breakfast is served in the bright dining room, with its glass roof.
