Help from Cardiff please

I know a few of you on here are from the Cardiff area - I was wondering if anyone knows of a cheapish B&B near Cardiff Millennium Centre if possible. My son graduates on the 10th July but I need to be there a 9.30 am - too early to travel up on the day!

It will only be for the one night and I need a twin room.

I have looked on the internet but they seem very expensive.

the etap in cardiff has always been quite reasonable...laterooms may be the best bet though...cardiff hotels get absolutely rammed on the weekends so you may have to go outside a bit to get it cheaper

there is an etap in newport too on the side of the m4

Thank you both very much - I am not confident enough to drive - I have been many times over the last 3 years but as a passenger - my son will drive up on the thursday night and I will get the train back after the presentation.

His Graduation Ball is at Cardiff Castle so he will stay over until Saturday morning.

Evie you could try the Mason's Arms motel its on the outskirts of Cardiff approx 3 and half miles but on a direct route to the city centre. If you need the number pm, me will to help.

Thank you Kay - I will google it now - the hotels are nice but I was hoping to get away with a cheapish B & B - one of the hotels Joanna mentioned is £115 per room so I do have that option.

We stayed here when we went to Cardiff. The area was a bit iffy at night though (but theres a lot of places in Cardiff like that):

Just had a look Valerie - £70 for a twin room which is £30 cheaper than a hotel - is it in walking distance to Millennium centre ?

welshlass22 · 29-06-2009, 10:19 PM

backpacker is a hostel evie and about 20mins walk to town then you'd have to get a bus from town to cardiff bay to the millenium centre i wouldnt recommend that to be honest. Id rather may the extra £30 for a hotel

Evie · 29-06-2009, 10:24 PM

That is a bit too far away then - thankyou for that Joanna - because of the ashes it is a busy weekend.

I need some where in Cardiff Bay then really?
