"We had a lovely stay at Parador 44. This boutique hotel is conveniently located. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nicely arranged and the super size shower was wonderful. We also really appreciated the "honor bar" and the yummy continental breakfast. We would definitely stay here again!"

10/10 Excellent
"I had left a pair of trousers in my room and only realised when I got home. I spoke to Beth on reception and they arranged postage and returned them back to me. Excellent service!"
"Very nice hotel by the Bay Area and huge room. Has everything you need and plenty of free parking. Close to Cardiff centre with a short taxi ride away if you don’t fancy half an hour walk."
"i love this hotel coz its very convenient to everything like the train station, restaurants and tourists attractions. wifi was fast. room is nice and clean. staff were friendly. i highly recommend!"
"Delicious breakfast - both buffet style and with a few other dishes you can order off a small menu. Room was super clean and the shower was fantastic! Definitely recommend this if you are visiting Cardiff - it’s 5 minutes away from the castle and 5 minutes to the train that can take you down to the bay. Everyone was so nice and it’s a good value for the money. Slight inconvenience- the parking is in a big city garage a few blocks away so getting your luggage to/from is cumbersome. But everything else more than made up for it!"
