Premier Inn Cardiff City Centre Stadium is on Custom House Street in Cathays, a short walk from Cardiff Central station, St David's and the stadium. The hotel was built in 2024 across 17 floors, with comfortable double rooms of a standard size, family triple and quadruple rooms, accessible rooms with roll-in showers, a lift, a restaurant called Thyme and a 24-hour front desk. It is the budget pick for travellers who want a clean modern room close to the action.
Location and getting around
Cardiff Central station is about four minutes on foot, St David's about five, the Utilita Arena about four, and Cardiff Castle about eight. The Principality Stadium is within about ten minutes, which makes this a good base for rugby and concert weekends and for the stadium tour.
Cardiff Bay is farther away and best reached by the Baycar 6 bus, the train or a taxi, and the airport is about a 40 minute drive. There is no on-site parking, so plan to use a public car park or arrive by train. A city tax is collected at the property.
Rooms and what to ask for
The standard double rooms are all around the same size, and the hotel also offers superior doubles with a king bed, family triple rooms with a double and a twin bed, and family quadruple rooms for four. Accessible rooms with a roll-in shower or an accessible bath are available, and the hotel has a lift. Ask for a higher floor for city views and less noise. Internet access is provided in all rooms and public areas have free WiFi.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits families on a budget, match-day visitors and anyone who prefers a straightforward modern room over a full-service hotel. A buffet breakfast is available for a fee, and the Thyme restaurant is on site. Check-in is from 3 in the afternoon, check-out is before noon, pets are not allowed, and payment is by card or mobile wallet because cash is not accepted. Book early for rugby and concert weekends, when prices rise and central hotels sell out quickly.
