The Waterfront area of the old East Dock in Cardiff Bay is the prime position of the Express by Holiday Inn Hotel. Only 15 minutes’ walk from the centre of Cardiff, it’s a great place to stay and from which to view the magnificent local shops and picturesque arcades. The 87 guestrooms feature simple, understated décor, complemented by light wood furnishings. All are clean and decently maintained, as are the en suite bathrooms. The Great Room offers a Continental buffet breakfast from 6.30-9.30am weekdays and 7-10.30am on weekends. A menu of light snacks is also available in this venue (or in the bar) from 6.00pm to 10.00pm daily. The hotel’s car park is complimentary to all guests, with plenty of spaces for everyone.
