These getaways are typically found close to airports and major roads, feature ample parking and have basic services and amenities. Stay at a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located. With a larger choice of rooms and more amenities like a lobby, gym and free WiFi, you can expect to pay extra for hotel lodgings.

What 3-star hotels in Cardiff have an on-site restaurant?

The Angel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Overall this was a great location directly across the street from Cardiff Castle. It was frantic because of the annual half-marathon attended by 29000 people (which we were not aware of at the time of booking) and the lifts were broken, but the front desk staff were extremely helpful. The room was large and everything worked as it should, but the rooms are showing their age a bit. They needed more staff at dinner but food was quite good."
