I did not stay for many days as we were only for a concert. I have been in holiday Inn hotels before in England, Wales, Madrid and Cuernavaca ( Mexico )I was surprised restaurant did not gave sweet bread as Danish pasty. Clean room View from restaurant Delicious Cumberland sausages 😋 and bacon 🥓. Great it was quiet so slept very well.
Lift did not work second day. Scrambled eggs. I asked if they have fry eggs. They said no.what a shame as where I live, the Pavilion tea rooms in the Castle Grounds, they offer fry egg instead of scrambled eggs. I found expensive the pizzas. Not many options to have a meal at night. We had only 2 cups instead of 3. I attended with my sister and daughter

This hotel is in a great location,you can walk to the bay in about 5mins with all it's restaurants even hop on the aqua bus in to the town centre or a 20min walk in to the centre of Cardiff which has an amazing shopping centre plenty of restaurants,visit the castle or take walk around the lovely Bute park.The holiday inn Express Cardiff has very friendly hotel staff,food was great & room very comfortable.would & will stay here again.
There's only one thing to moan about and that was a fire alarm going off in the early hours!! Not sure why but the hotel staff assured us that all was fine when we phone reception!!

Lovely comfy beds, facilities beautifully clean. All staff were exceptional and a big Thank you to Joanna Way for going above and beyond for us. And Thank you to Tom R on reception for just being lovely. Re coup cafe is a lovely place to chill out and watch the world go by. I think Re coup needs to be advertised more by the hotel staff as it needs more recognition. We will definitely come and stay again. 😊
Nothing really to dislike apart from not being able to park on the first night having paid for parking

Reception was organised and friendly. We were seen and processed quickly. The room was basic and clean. Car parking was £10 a day. Hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the city or Cardiff Bay in the opposite direction. Had a quiet 2 nights stay.
Kettle was not working properly as we had to hold the button down for it to boil. 1 of the windows would not shut. The sink was blocked. All these were reported not long after we arrived but only the sink was unblocked the next day.

It really was a good room and value for money as I was only staying 2 nights. Bed was comfortable and it had everything I needed. As the remote wasn't properly working, staff really helped me out as soon as they could. I also loved the dinner options there.
Not much. I didn't know there were two Holiday Inn's in town. If I'd known I would've maybe gone for the one closer to the city but as I was only there for the weekend, it's not really a dislike, just an observation.

The hotel is well located, being about 20 minutes walk to the city centre and 12 minutes to the Cardiff Bay area. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bedroom was warm and light with a view over the water and the double bed was very comfortable and impressively wide. Breakfast was good with some cooked options.
As so often in chain hotels there was only one chair in the room so one person ends up sitting on the bed. There are no shops, cafes or restaurants in the immediate environment, though plenty within a mile.

Hotel was spotless, desk staff welcoming and helpful. Twin room was comfortable and it was good to find decent shower/hair products in the bathroom. All staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We opted for a taxi to the city centre and the desk staff very kindly ordered this for us.
Nothing that I didn’t like. I chose the property as somewhere to sat for a Coldplay concert when accommodation was really hard to find at a ‘reasonable’ rate.

The hotel was clean, the staff, especially Tom, Jack and Katy were so helpful and made me think that I was their only guest. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.I had a lovely breakfast and I will certainly be staying there again!
I could have done without paying £10 for parking, but it compared favourably with other hotels in Cardiff Bay!

The cleanliness of the hotel and room, the staff were very friendly, our dogs were welcomed, access into the hotel was easy and it was easy to find. It is located about a 15 min walk from the city centre or from Cardiff Bay pubs/restaurants. Breakfast was nice and always ready for 7am. Parking is good but more challenging the later you arrive.
Nothing. We were happy with everything.
