We were able to park close by and there was a supermarket and a choice of places to eat nearby. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The only criticism was the lack of plain ordinary tea bags and plain coffee pods and decaf coffee pods. Thank you ##### Susan D.

No major issue as we were out most of the time but it then randomly came on as we were leaving on last day?? ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cuddfan Lodge on a Gorgeous Private Lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cuddfan-Lodge-On-A-Private-Lake.h73237752.Hotel-Information) > - [Crofts Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Crofts.h38726361.Hotel-Information) > - [The Parkgate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Parkgate-Hotel.h66262736.Hotel-Information) > - [Park Plaza Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Cardiff.h1240563.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Stables](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Stables.h83177652.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Cardiff.h876498.Hotel-Information) > - [Cardiff University, Senghennydd Hall - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-University.h30551441.Hotel-Information) > - [Clive Lodge Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Clive-Lodge-Apartments.h48606194.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Cardiff.h18575463.Hotel-Information) > - [The Royal Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Cardiff.h1291503.Hotel-Information) > - [The Angel Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Angel-Hotel.h34843.Hotel-Information) > - [Executive Apartment Cardiff City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Executive-Apartment-Cardiff-City-Centre.h45052716.Hotel-Information) > - [Canada Lodge and Lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Canada-Lodge-And-Lake.h36839644.Hotel-Information) > - [The Coach & Horses Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Coach-Horses-Inn.h6419637.Hotel-Information) > - [Belvilla Newport City Centre Hotel - Lifestyle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Silurian-Hotel.h69221774.Hotel-Information) > - [Cardiff Sandringham Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-Sandringham-Hotel.h900564.Hotel-Information) > - [Clayton Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cardiff.h4254642.Hotel-Information) > - [Lanelay Hall Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Lanelay-Hall-Hotel-Spa.h19385738.Hotel-Information) > - [Cardiff Metropolitan University, Plas Gwyn Halls - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-Metropolitan-University.h30551499.Hotel-Information) > - [Llechwen Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Llechwen-Hall-Hotel.h4035488.Hotel-Information) > - [Modern Studio apt Near Bay & City With Parking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Modern-Studio-Apt-Near-Bay-City-With-Parking.h48401088.Hotel-Information) > - [Cardiff University, Talybont Gate Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-University.h30551505.Hotel-Information) > - [Tŷ Newport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ty-Hotel-Newport.h96787676.Hotel-Information) > - [Kensington Place Newport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Kensington-Place-Newport.h36659590.Hotel-Information) > - [Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Coldra-Court-Hotel-By-Celtic-Manor.h542557.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Cardiff - North M4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Cardiff-North-M4.h9720.Hotel-Information) > - [New Inn Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-New-Inn-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h11900845.Hotel-Information) > - [Cardiff City Center Hotel by Belvilla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Citrus-Hotel-Cardiff-By-Compass-Hospitality.h520199.Hotel-Information) > - [Copthorne Hotel Cardiff-Caerdydd](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Copthorne-Hotel-Cardiff-Caerdydd.h541993.Hotel-Information) ---
