Staybridge Suites Cardiff, an IHG Hotel

A modern hotel, located on the waterfront in Cardiff. Parking is limited, and if you do manage to get a parking space, they feel narrow. Expensive parking too, particularly as if you go out again in the evening, there's no guarantee you'll still have the space you've paid for when you get back. Rooms comfortable and well equipped. A microwave (to go with the microwave instructions in the room) would be nice. Bed comfy, pillows less so. Shower dreamy. Lovely staff, all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast surprisingly good for hot buffet. Walk into city centre takes about 20 minutes.

A lovely place to stay separate from the hotel itself. We arrived to do Hair and makeup for a bride and her bridal party, with a heavy load of kit. The man on reception was not very helpful, luckily we knew what suite we were going to, asked to use the trolley for our kits, no assistance or direction, the bride came down, who assisted and directed us to the lift. Upon leaving, returning the trolley, no communication on codes needed to leave the car park. Other bridal party members also commented on how unapproachable this man was at the reception.

So far it was the best hotel, view by the water, large rooms with all the appliances if one needed to stay in and cook a bit.Breakfast was free with our reservation the quality and selection was good. Clean facilities .
