What guests think
Parador 44 is a small, stylish boutique hotel in central Cardiff praised for its beautifully designed rooms, exceptionally friendly staff, and an excellent Spanish-influenced breakfast, plus a relaxing residents' lounge with an honesty bar and terrace.
Many guests also praise Asador 44, the on-site restaurant, for quality food. Common drawbacks include some late-night street noise, lots of stairs and no lift, and a few comments about firm beds or pillows and hot breakfast dishes costing extra. A small number mention compact rooms in some categories and occasional maintenance or communication hiccups. Expect a charming, design-led city stay with warm service and thoughtful shared spaces.

Facilities
The residents' lounge with complimentary hot drinks, an honesty bar, and a quiet terrace is a consistent highlight. Several reviews note many stairs and no lift, nearby parking can be pricey/tight, and some miss an in-room kettle.

What a unique and wonderful hotel attached to the outstanding restaurant downstairs. The staff was wonderful and helpful. There is an outdoor patio and the rooms are very nicely done. There are some stairs and no lift. We really enjoyed our stay there in Cardiff, and would stay again.

Loved the lounge with coffees and honor bar. Bar 44, their sister restaurant around the corner had delicious cocktails and tapas. Parking garage across the street was expensive and difficult to navigate in such tight spaces.

Beautiful room. wxceptional standard and cleanliness. Great amenities in the guest lounge area. A bit noisy at night due to city location. Breakfast food fresh and high standard ingredients aligned to the hotel brand. Given the price point a cooked breakfast option should be included not additional. I would recommend and stay again in a back located room if possibke.

Very smart hotel, room very clean, bed pretty comfortable though one pillow was too soft and one too hard, neither quite right. The lounge and terrace for guests to have drinks was nice though that did mean no kettle in the room. Location was very convenient but quiet. You could hear hallway noise and doors closing but only a couple of times. Breakfast was amazing - I'd stay here again just for that. Staff were always very friendly and helpful.

The hotel and theme is beautiful. Very thought out design. The bathroom and bedroom were a good size and beds were comfy. Rooms come with dressing gowns and slippers which was a lovely touch. Especially when unfortunately the fire alarm went off at 5am and we needed something to chuck on quickly. As above, the alarm woke us up at 5am and took a while to be switched off. The porter, bless him was panicking to turn it off. However, no real apologies made or gesture, considering I was wide awake from that time then. Also, despite the quality of the rooms, my room on opening the door smelt fousty. I tried to ignore it but every time I walked in it hit you. Not sure if it was the air con or maybe something on the carpet. I did look in the lounge and terrace but didn’t make use out of it. It was well stocked and lovely and peaceful in there. The breakfast in the morning was delicious. And the staff were great and helpful. I would stay here again even given the mishap with the alarm, it couldn’t be helped

Water pressure not brilliant and temperature was hot then cold then hot then cold, not constant. Breakfast was lovely and the resident lounge was lovely. The bathroom smellies were great and plentiful and of good quality. Staff were superb.

Great spanish style hotel in heart of Cardiff. Room was huge with lovely bathroom. Manager showed me everything including honesty bar and terrace. Breakfast was lovely perfect size, went for full parador but option also include continental breakfast with juices etc. Staff attentive and considerate. Located just across road from Principality Stadium and 2 mins from Cardiff Castle which makes it ideal. Only slight negative is the noise from bar next door but still worth it.

The hotel, staff and breakfast were flawless. The room was stunning, huge four poster bed and a double shower. There is a separate communal bar and outside seating area with an amazingly stocked, private, residents only bar. Every staff member we encountered from check-in to check-out were fantastic and super helpful. They even left a note in our room saying happy anniversary. The breakfast was the best I've had in a hotel. Overnight bacon was something I've never had before, but will be dreaming about for weeks!

The room was decorated and furnished to a very high standard, staff were friendly and helpful. Located in the heart of the city centre within easy reach of all that Cardiff City has to offer. Would highly recommend and plan to visit again.

Great spanish style hotel in heart of Cardiff. Room was huge with lovely bathroom. Manager showed me everything including honesty bar and terrace. Breakfast was lovely perfect size, went for full parador but option also include continental breakfast with juices etc. Staff attentive and considerate. Located just across road from Principality Stadium and 2 mins from Cardiff Castle which makes it ideal. Only slight negative is the noise from bar next door but still worth it.

Excellent one night stay whilst attending an event at the stadium. Location excellent for the stadium and city centre bars and restaurants. Staff were exceptional friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, as was the lounge and terrace available for guests. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Lovely room and hotel which was perfect for our stay for a local wedding over the weekend. The breakfast was 10/10 and the lounge area for use by all guests with honesty bar is a lovely touch. We did have a bit of noise outside the room at night to be expected, as it is centrally located but earplugs and eye mask are provided! Would definitely stay again!

Breakfast is a standout with Spanish influences and is frequently rated among the best, and the on-site Asador 44 restaurant receives strong praise. A few guests were disappointed that hot breakfast dishes are no longer included in the room rate.

Nothing not to like about this place. Warm welcome from friendly staff. Light spacious room with huge bed and generous en-suite. Everything spotlessly clean and well kept. Residents lounge was a really nice touch. And the breakfast was simply the best I've ever had.

This was our third stay in Parador 44 as we really enjoy the room style, lounge bar and the best bit has always been the beautiful breakfast served downstairs in Asador. It was my partners birthday which I noted on the booking, there was no acknowledgment of this which would’ve been nice but not a huge issue. The rooms and lounge were lovely as usual, however it was a shame to find out the ‘full breakfast’ included in the room rate is no longer inclusive of a choice from the hot menu as previous, these items are now at a charge which was disappointing as it’s always been a big ‘plus’ to us booking here. The continental breakfast choice is tasty but limited and the experience didn’t feel as ‘full’ or special as it previously has. Perhaps noting a continental breakfast is included in the room rate would be helpful going forward in terms of transparency. Would return, but perhaps not for the price of the room without a hot breakfast option included

This was our second stay here and we stayed in room Flor, we loved our last room but this room was absolutely stunning. Well equipped with little details such as a robe, slippers, cotton pads, ear buds, toiletries, lovely smelling diffusers in the room and a radio. The walk in shower is lovely too! Breakfast was amazing again, we had the cooked breakfast and flamenco eggs, both delicious. I loved that along with the coffee they had cold and hot milk to use, a nice little touch. This will forever be our place to stay when we visit Cardiff! There’s a handing car park right accross the street, and location is perfect as it’s right in the centre and only a few minutes walk to the castle. Thank you again for a lovely stay!

Fabulous stay in Cardiff. Beautiful room with a big bathroom. Hotel has a separate guest lounge. Coffee and tea freely available in the lounge and an honesty box for a wide range of alcoholic drinks and snacks. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Location is excellent near restaurants and transport. This hotel also has a lovely restaurant downstairs.

What an amazing find! The room was lovely, comfy bed, bathroom and shower gorgeous. Little touches here and there, lots of thought has gone into what guests might need. Kitchen and lounge area was a lovely surprise, again everything well thought out. Lovely coffee from the machine in the morning and to top it off the breakfast was 10/10. We had the full parador and the scrambled eggs on sour dough, both delicious! And loved the continental options. Couldn’t fault a thing, would 100% stay again should we go to Cardiff again. Thank you for an amazing stay

Parador 44 is a fabulous hotel. There is an instant relaxed & friendly atmosphere from the minute you walk in the door. The staff are an absolute credit to the hotel, they are so attentive & nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are perfect & I loved the concept of the honesty bar. Breakfast was the best I’ve had in a hotel by far & Sunday lunch was delicious too. I can’t wait to return. Thanks for making our weekend so special.

We enjoyed this lovely hotel. It was close to the castle, and restaurants and shopping. The staff were warm and helpful. They were delighted to tell us the history of the building. I especially liked the lounge and the outside, roof terrace for added relaxation.

We had an excellent experience at Parador44. From the moment we arrived, we were very well received. The service was always very good, friendly and helpful, which made all the difference during our stay. The room was always very clean, organized and had a pleasant smell. You can see the care in every detail. The breakfast was also a highlight. We highly recommend trying the homemade granola and the toast with jam, which are delicious. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming experience in Cardiff.
