Where to Stay in Cardiff

Cardiff's city centre is a hub of activity, with a variety of hotels, guesthouses, and apartments within walking distance of the city's top attractions. If you want to be in the heart of the action, look for accommodation near St. Mary Street or the Cardiff Central railway station. This area is perfect for shopping, dining, and nightlife, with easy access to landmarks like the Millennium Stadium and the Cardiff City Hall.

For a more relaxed stay, consider looking at options along Cardiff Bay, where you can enjoy waterfront views and easy access to attractions like the Wales Millennium Centre and the Norwegian Church Arts Centre.

This area offers a tranquil escape from the city centre while still being within reach of all the amenities Cardiff has to offer – you’re around 20 minutes’ walk from the main shopping areas on foot, or there’s a quick bus you can take.

If you're traveling by car, you'll find plenty of hotels with parking facilities on the outskirts of the city, providing a convenient base for exploring Cardiff and the surrounding area. Getting to the Cardiff Bay area is easy too, with multi- storey car park options available, so that may be a better option for drivers.

Insider Tips for Cardiff

• The Principality Stadium is very central in the city, so if you aren’t planning a visit, it’s still worth checking whether the stadium is hosting any events during the dates you’re staying – prepare for crowds and traffic if something’s on.
• Cardiff has all the chain stores you’d expect, but take some time to hunt out the independent retailers – highlights include the oldest record store in the world, Spillers Records, and the excellent Hobo’s for vintage fashion.
• For something different, book a cruise from the Bay – there are sightseeing tours that stick closer to the city, or you can visit Flat Holm Island just off the coast for the day.
