The Angel Hotel
Strategic and centrally located in city centre, yet it's very quiet. 5 to 10 minutes to intercity bus stop, particularly if you use Flix bus. The bus stop is around the corner. Cardiff is buzzing city, plenty eatery places and cafes. Excellent breakfast at the hotel. Highly recommend it

Majestic Hotel Cardiff
Nice hotel and nice staff. Clean and modern. Spacious room with all the usual ammenities. Quite noisy though in the rooms, plus the fire alarm went off at midnight walking everyone up and no explanation from the hotel at the time or in the morning either. Great location. Only negative was the car ...
