Set in Cardiff, 10 km from Cardiff University, The Gwaelod y Garth Inn offers accommodation with a terrace, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. Located around 12 km from Motorpoint Arena Cardiff, the hotel with free WiFi is also 12 km away from Cardiff Castle. The property is non-smoking and is located 12 km from University of South Wales - Cardiff Campus.

There are only 3 rooms in the building we stayed in, it was nice and quiet. There was a large wardrobe and the toiletries and towels in the bathroom were nicely presented, they had also provided a couple of boxes of tissues. We were pleasantly surprised to discover a small fridge with some drinking water in it and some fresh milk for the tea and coffee (the owner told us later that he supplies fresh milk because he dislikes UHT milk in his own tea and coffee). We stayed for 3 nights and had a superb breakfast each morning. I'm pleased I took their advice and booked an evening meal in advance, the restaurant is very popular. Our meal was so tasty that we booked for the following evening too, that meal was also extremely good. The staff were very welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When I was originally booking the room I was concerned about the check-in time because we were going to a gig in Cardiff on the first night and wouldn't get to the hotel until well after the check-in time. However when I mentioned my problem they replied swiftly and arranged a self check-in which went very smoothly. Parking was nice and close to the entrance to the accommodation. We will definitely be booking again next year when we're back in Cardiff.

Beautiful home located by a golf course. Our rooms consisted of a large bedroom upstairs and a kitchenette downstairs. Throughout, everything was immaculate. The property is within walking distance of several eating establishments and about four miles from Cardiff city centre. It’s a short walk to the train station. By chance, we happened to be in Cardiff when King Charles paid a visit so the city was alive and vibrant.

    We were given a semi-accessible room, which we weren't in need of, but it was a lovely room nonetheless. We had a large bathroom, a nice bed, and good amenities. The room was clean and spacious. I found the added security of the room key being needed to access the lift, and the security after 10 was brilliant and reassuring. A great location, right next to the station and near lots of brilliant restaurants and bars. Perfect hotel for a night out or day of shopping.

    Our room was upgraded on arrival ,it was spotlessly clean and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable . The decor was in keeping with the age of the property and tastefully done. . Breakfast had a wide variety of things on the menu . We had cooked breakfast both mornings as well as fresh friut and yoghurts and toast. Which we thoroughly enjoy. The hotel has free parking and it is a 20- 30 minute walk into cardiff which was ideal for us. We would recommend this as a place to stay and will return in th future..
