Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Quiet location but within walking distance of city centre. Parking was a bit of a pain, not always spaces - but they refund you if you are unable to park. Overall, nice experience - would stay again if I went to Cardiff Bay. ##### Victoria Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dennis Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice staff and clean room. ##### Dennis Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Breakfast was really good ##### Victoria Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice staff, great parking and location to Cardiff Bay.

Food was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip Jan 7, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We have just arrived home from our stay in Cardiff. We chose the Holiday Inn Express Cardiff Bay because of its location and we are extremely pleased that we did. Choosing a hotel can be a bit of a lottery and we certainty got the jackpot. This is a modern building located not far from Cardiff bay, about a fifteen minute walk to the bay itself with restaurants and some shops. On arrival our reception was warm and welcoming. We were help be the young receptionist with directions to the Millennium Centre and to Cardiff City centre which was about a twenty five minute walk from the hotel. There is a public transport bus into the centre but we enjoyed the walk. Our room had all that we needed for the three nights that we were there and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included in our payment and was hot, plentiful with a good range of choice. But I cannot praise the staff sufficiently. From our receptionist to the lady who serviced our room, to the staff helping at the breakfast buffet, they were polite, helpful and good humoured. Why aren’t all hotels like this? ##### Philip Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Harborside Resort & Vacation Rentals at Atlantis](https://www.expedia.ca/Nassau-Hotels-Harborside-Resort-At-Atlantis.h878320.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Santa Teresa](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Teresa-Hotels.d6143929.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Petite Auberge](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Petite-Auberge.h24970.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Cardiff City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cardiff-City-Centre.h526111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Twin Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Twin-Falls-Hotels.d3584.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Dieppe](https://www.expedia.ca/Dieppe-Hotels.d57817.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.ca/Cardiff-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Cardiff.h2609745.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Mt Hope Hamilton Intl Arpt ON](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Mt-Hope-Hamilton-Intl-Arpt-ON.h855789.Hotel-Information) > > [Enchanted Isle Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Enchanted-Isle-Resort.h1818388.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/bom/edmonton-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Kloten (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/zrh/toronto-to-zurich) > > [Flights from New Delhi (DEL) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yul/delhi-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/yvr/saskatoon-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from ronald reagan washington national airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/dca/flights-from-ronald-reagan-washington-national-airport) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/las/abbotsford-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Plaine Magnien (MRU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mru/toronto-to-mahebourg) > > [Flights from Whittier](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/7153/flights-from-whittier) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Reading (RDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rdg/toronto-to-reading) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Vecsés (BUD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/bud/calgary-to-budapest) ### Packages ### General
