The 30 Best Museum in Cardiff

“Cardiff Bay is a vibrant waterfront area in Cardiff, Wales, that offers a mix of attractions, dining, and entertainment. It's known for its mix of old and new architecture, including the historic dockland and modern buildings like the Wales Millennium Centre. Visitors can enjoy walking paths, boat tours, and various dining options. The area has also been praised for its cosmopolitan feel and family-friendly activities.”

“This was an insightful museum to visit, delving into the economic drivers of Weston-Super-Mare throughout time! One section has old railway signage and talks about how the train connectivity brought more money into the town, a boat is shown separately from its industrial heydays. The former Donkey Chair taxi and a model of Weston in the 1960's are unique additions, shopping history is also delved into as the prominent items are touched on and the town's post-World War 2 period. Tourism's impact is another key point even incorporating outfits here, love the puppet theatre attraction as well!”

“One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Very friendly staff. Best breakfast I've ever had in a hotel with so many food options. Excellent dinner too. Rooms are very stylish and super cozy. Easily best hotel in Cardiff for business!”

“Great accommodation. On street parking. Which is hard to get in Cardiff. Apartment was lovely and clean and very spacious. Nice touch was proper milk to go with tea/coffee. Even had specialty tea. Before during and after communication from the hosts was excellent. Definitely a 5* rating from us. Only downside was the event we had booked to see Bute Park was cancelled due to flooding. But would definitely book to stay here again”

“Great place to moor when visiting the bay. The visitors berths are close to the clubhouse, with water available. Lovely staff in the yard and clubhouse...nothing was too much for them. Clean clubhouse with great views over the bay towards the barrage. Large shower area, with plentiful hot water. Since writing my review I have joined the club and am delighted to say that my comments about the staff are magnified...the bar and restaurant are excellent, with well presented and plentiful food available. The bar is well run and there is a good variety of drinks available. Outside the clubhouse is a good sized and well maintained carpark. One thing I've yet to mention is the fantastic view from the bar out over Cardiff Bay from Penarth and past the Barrier around to Cardiff. I've attached a video. The club is vibrant with a pleasant businesslike buzz and lots to interest everyone. For he sailor, there is the pleasure of having the availability of the Bay with its constant level of water if you just want to have a gentle sail, or out through the barrier into the channel for something more adventurous.”

“One of the better castles I've visited. Plenty to see and explore, interactive audio download available and very reasonably priced. The cafe and gift shop are quite small but the staff are helpful and friendly.”

“We visited Wed 22nd for a date night. It was sooo nice. The food was delicious, and the staff were great. One sauce top up was slow- But the staff had a difficult table next and the one girl said she was very new, to us so we appreciated them being under pressure. The table next to us were about 8 elderly people. They demanded quicker service as they were going to the theatre. They left saying they had waited 45 mins- They absolutely hadn’t, we were there before them and within 30 mins had ordered, and had drinks and starters. They ate all the bread (without covering any cost) then caused a scene leaving as their drinks were arriving. The staff dealt with it very well. The bourguignon was the nicest I’ve had, and my hubby demolished the mushroom side….. He doesn’t even like mushrooms! I must admit- If it hadn’t been for the Cardiff Devils discount we likely wouldn’t have visited- But we’ll definitely be back!”

“Food was absolutely stunning, the best meal I've had in a long long time. All hot and fresh. Couldn't fault a thing. I think the waiter was called Arthur and the Chef was Cai. 10 out of 10,we will be back when you've had your refurbishment, Thank you”

“We went here as we was totally depressed walking towards The New Theatre with the many chain restaurant options. No thanks. We food this little gem right at the end just across the road from the theatre. Very warm welcome sat down straight away to a table for two. Busy, lively and fun. Service was excellent, fast and attentive. Food was quick to come out but not rushed. Cracking food all round. I personally felt the starters was a bit pricey but was delicious so... Would definitely go again. Clean and tidy through out quick to take plates or empty bottles etc. Excellent meal all round.”

“I've stayed here with friends twice for spa weekends. The hotel is excellent. Great location, helpful staff, lovely facilities and rooms are nice. The afternoon tea is great, Spa is lovely and treatments are great. Can't wait to return again!!”

“We booked the room for 4 days. Breakfast was quite good. It has other meal deals also. Room was comfortable & bus stations is just across the road. Different buses including sightseeing stop here. Check the timmings & dates for sightseeing bus. A halal buffet resturant..buffet tonight ...( 18 pound ) with more than 50 items ,is 100 meters away in red dragon mall, with a cinema..games for kids & bowling alley.”

“Recently stayed here for a weekend celebration. There were 9 of us in total. The hotel was in a great location. Extremely clean. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice. The staff were incredible. They went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you so much.”

“I spent one night with a friend at Zip at the end of September 2025. We paid £26 for a twin room. The room was spotless, the facilities were nice, but the staff truly made the difference. From check-in to check-out, I felt cared for much better than in many other hotels. A special thanks to Mell for her kindness and valuable support at breakfast she really set the right mood for my day. It was unexpectedly surprising to find such kind and genuine people in a low-cost hotel.”

“Marvelous hotel in central location with superbly appointed rooms and bathrooms. Well stocked and spacious bar, excellent dining room and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended but if traveling by car the hotel car park quite tight to get in and out of and is expensive.”

“This is one of the best pubs in the Diff!!! Every time we go we love it, we don't intend on staying but we do until the end!!!! Live music atmosphere, and the Boss is an absolute Legend, always busy and he's always smiling and works hard at keeping everyone happy. I've given 5 stars for food that's based on the Irish crisp selection available!!!!”

“Great location to stay. Very close to city, Cardiff Railway station, Cardiff Castle and much more. The rooms are clean and the bed to comfortable. Shower has great pressure. The bar downstairs has a great range of beers and wine. Staff are very friendly and helpful.”

“Had a great night's sleep here on business. The staff at reception were polite and friendly. I was greeted by an Asian gentleman on arrival. He was very busy booking guests in, but still provided great customer service. The room was clean and tidy. The beefeater next door was fantastic for dinner and breakfast. Will be staying again.”

“On arrival I was greeted by tricia who was so warm and kind she helped me with my bags and gave me directions to local restaurants the service here is great, rooms could do with a refurb”

“Fantastic ride on the lady Helen. Great views all round and a great captain. Happy days. 20 minute ride so not too long but plenty of opportunity for great pics.”

“cool lectures. i dont go here tho”

“Can not thank these guys enough, speedy efficient and well priced. Saved us from a very embarrassing situation with a client. Thanks”

“Hotel currently closed but you can book airport parking here which is typically cheaper than parking in the airport itself. Five minutes or so walk to the airport. You can book through Justpark.”

“Great campus building in the heart of Cardiff. Good facilitaties and an excellent IT team!”

“Stayed here for 4 days. The new refurbishment of this property is exceptional!!! The spa hot tub and sauna are incredible. Private clean and so relaxing. The staff are so accommodating and friendly. Would highly recommend”

“Lovely place to stay for work or play”

“Our family loves it here, looking at all the old building and the manor house is beautiful”

“nice university the staff are friendly and helpful. the day schools were accessable and informative. the tutors had time for me. the work was made interesting. we had a say in how the modules ran the students were friendly in my groups. the work was 6 assignments per module and it was very fun to work out. there are times when i did see something new in the work. and it was insightful there were student days and a happy helpful advisor on the phone. i did complex consideration with some of these modules. the questions were interesting. the staff were accomodating. there are good people working here and i never had a problem or argument with the other students. we had a nice time it may not be the best but i think i had some thoughts too they are nice and all my modules taught me something.”

“The price fit my budget perfectly well and i have a clean house!”
