The city centre location brings all the convenience you would expect from staying in a major European city. Whilst not a busy street there is the normal city feel to the area.

The attractions of Cardiff Bay are also just a couple of miles away. The Bay has lots to offer bars, restaurants, international white water centre, Cardiff international pool, ice rink and much more. Its a great escape from city life with a lovely walk around the barrage to Penarth Marina.
