Staybridge Suites - Cardiff by IHG
Suite-style rooms with a genuinely broad breakfast
About this hotel
Staybridge Suites - Cardiff by IHG combines suite-style comfort with hotel-grade extras: air conditioning, private bathrooms, a fitness centre and sun terrace, plus a breakfast spread covering continental, buffet, full English and Irish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, a genuinely useful range for a family with different appetites and needs. The property sits close to Cardiff Castle, roughly two kilometres away, and 1.8 kilometres from Cardiff Central Station, with Cardiff Airport 23 kilometres out. Private check-in and check-out, a lounge, 24-hour front desk and paid on-site parking round out the practical side, and the suite layout gives families more room to spread out swim kit and luggage than a standard hotel double.

Our take
This suits families wanting suite-style space with hotel conveniences and a fitness centre for a parent's workout between pool sessions. The genuinely broad breakfast is a real plus for fussy eaters. Parking here is paid rather than free, so families prioritising no-cost parking should compare against the free-parking options elsewhere in this guide.
- ✓Take advantage of the broad breakfast spread rather than eating out before an early pool start.
- ✓Use the fitness centre for a quick workout while the kids are still asleep or having breakfast.
- ✓Confirm parking costs in advance, since this property charges for parking rather than including it free.

Why guests love itThe breakfast spread genuinely covered everyone, including our vegan teenager, which made mornings far less stressful than at other places we've stayed. The extra suite space meant we weren't tripping over bags and wet towels constantly. Being close to Cardiff Central Station meant we could easily take a train into other parts of Wales on our one day off from the pool.
