Okay, planning ahead for the rugby but most chains seem fully booked already. Need somewhere half decent within spitting distance of the stadium.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I have tickets for a previous weekend, and came to the conclusion the rooms haven't been put up for sale yet...Any suggestions?
Thanks
Not sure if many rooms will be up yet, but for the immediate city centre:
Holiday Inn (& Holiday Inn Express in Cardiff Bay), Angel, Hilton, Maldron, Sleeperz, Big Sleep, Radisson Blu, Park Inn, Park Plaza, Novotel, Etap or Ibis (those two are s
tholes though), several Travelodges and about a dozen B&B's on Cathedral Road.

Travelodge in the city centre is over a bar and a few clubs. Suffered that beast once, never again. Maldron is quite good even though it has Best Western links. That is I have been lucky and had the building corner rooms high up, not sure what the rest are like. Sleepers is new but OK ish. Wet bathrooms, on room did not slope enough to the drain and the water threatened to get to the bed.
JCN 32 M4 has a Village and Holiday Inn (ex cheap nasty chain).
Usually it is a year ahead the rooms rates will be released, at least when I have been trying to get rooms for big events. What you will find is travel firms will wade in booking whole floors and effectively taking over some hotels. The RWC will also take a load of rooms, it will be stupid money for those that are available, usually.
Edit. Premier inn has a few around Cardiff as well, Eastern Avenue out of town as well. Hotels at the airport but that is taxi fares. Copthorne at Culverhouse Cross (more taxi fares or bus)

Whatever you do do not stay in the Big Sleep.
If you can get in, my tip would be the Hilton Central by the castle. Depending on who they're playing a lot of the touring teams stay there so the atmosphere in there is usually very good. On match days they often only let hotel guests and those with table bookings into the bars, and it's very handy having somewhere guaranteed where you can get a drink.
