At Pontcanna Inn, travellers highlight friendly staff, a very convenient setting near parks, the city centre and stadiums, and a lively on-site bar that creates a fun atmosphere but can lead to late-night noise and crowded spaces.
Parking is limited or off-site, which several guests found stressful. Rooms are well appointed and comfortable, with sizes varying from spacious to compact; cleanliness is generally good, though a few guests reported wear or lapses, and food and drinks are praised despite occasional limits to breakfast or evening service. Best suited to those who prefer an inn-style stay.

Rooms were excellant, breakfast was really good but best of all the most dog friendly place I've everstayed!! This was an extremely busy Saturday night pub where I sat at the bar with my dog also sat on a stool. When door security come over and make a fuss of your dog and go and get some treats, it was just brilliant. A really lovely stay. I won't make the mistake of asking for a full English for breakfast in a Welsh pub again!!!

The bed was comfortable and shower was good. That is all I can say on the positive side. We were ignored by the proprietor when we came in - in fact not sure if they got their payment as there was no one around at all when we left at 9:00 the next day. The room and bathroom were in serious need of a good cleaning, lots of dust and the room needs a makeover as there is stuff running down the wall (not sure what). No towel racks in the bathroom and the heated rack was so dirty we didn’t want to hang towels on it. No breakfast served. No parking allotted- we had to locate something legal on the street. We had no tv remote at first and when we asked someone they said “ it’s a luck of the draw”. They did borrow one from another room. We had lots of luggage because we are on an extended journey and our room was up about 4 flights of stairs with no elevator. All in all I would not recommend.

Rooms are nice and a good location. Nice little bottled water, tea, coffee and milk selection. Blind didnt work fully in my room so had sunlight in early and my room was above a court yard so was conscious people could see in with my light on! Be cautious that the rooms are above a bar so it is very noisy!

Pontcanna Inn is a funky place to stay, the room was clean, spacious and boutique style. The vibe of the bar area downstairs was fun and cool during the daytime, we arrived on a Saturday. We were visiting for a concert and it was a great location to the Principality Stadium. When we arrived back at the hotel after the concert, it was a very different vibe. It was extremely busy, full of the younger generation drinking, sticky floors, lots of empty glasses and felt uninviting to hotel guests. We wanted to have a drink before heading to our room, but couldn’t get served at the busy bars and there was no where to sit as it was so busy. We ended up walking to the local garage to get drinks for the room. The noise downstairs was loud but stopped after about 12:30pm when they have stopped serving at the bars. It would be nice if they had a quieter section of the Inn for hotel guests. Also there was nothing to stop anyone waking up to the rooms where guests are staying. They have door men, but they are very pre occupied with the busyness of the bars. We did not stay for breakfast because only a few hours prior it was in quite a mess. I realise this is an Inn, but the environment it became was was not for us at all, which was ashame because our initial reactions were all positive.

We stayed six nights in room 8. It is the small window in the middle at the top overlooking the street. There is very light noise from the patio which never bothered us and the noise is generally done by 10pm. The room is quite tight but very adequate since we spent little time in it. They held our bags until checkin which we greatly appreciate. It’s immediately beside the park for great walking paths and nicely situated in a gorgeous neighborhood about ten minutes walk from the downtown. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel staff are lovely, kind and welcoming. The hotel itself is nice if a little bit on the tired side, the room we stayed in was the first floor front room. The bed was creaky and made quite a bit of noise whenever anyone moved on it and the mattress was rather firm and uncomfortable but I appreciate taste differ on this. The building itself was loud and you could hear much of what was going on both down in the bar and above. Our stay and night sleep was interupted by some other guests returning drunk at 3.45am, having locked themselves out. They screamed the place down and we had to call the night manager who lives off site to come and sort it out. When reported to the staff they were hugely apologetic and sorted us out with some discounts on breakfast and coffee which was much appreciated! I know that hotels cant control their guests so dont hold this against them and was appreciative of their attempts to remedy my stay, it is worth noting that the proximity to cardiff city centre probably played a role in this so bear that in mind when looking to stay at this property. All in all it was a nice property and suited our needs for the night and the weekend. I would recommend a stay here when location and cost are important factors

We had no tv remote at first and when we asked someone they said “ it’s a luck of the draw”. They did borrow one from another room. We had lots of luggage because we are on an extended journey and our room was up about 4 flights of stairs with no elevator. All in all I would not recommend.

This hotel is in a fantastic location near a beautiful park, which leads to the castle and across to the other side of town. I arrived just after food service had ended, but diners were still enjoying their meals, and everything looked delicious. My room was lovely, located right at the top of the building, though I didn’t see any lift access, which might be a limitation for those with mobility issues. The room itself was beautifully decorated, with a large, comfortable bed and an oversized shower. I also appreciated the cozy sofa and desk, which made it easy to work in the space. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for anyone staying in Cardiff!
This hotel is in a fantastic location near a beautiful park, which leads to the castle and across to the other side of town. I arrived just after food service had ended, but diners were still enjoying their meals, and everything looked delicious. My room was lovely, located right at the top of the building, though I didn’t see any lift access, which might be a limitation for those with mobility issues.

Our room and meals were very good. Easy walk to Cardiff Castle and shopping precinct. Parking is very limited in the area and was a hassle when we first arrived

The staff are amazingly friendly and check-in/check-out is a breeze. The bar and restaurant are amazing. Very spacious rooms in an amazing area of Cardiff; very easy walk to parks, city center, stadiums, train and bus stations, etc.

Really great staff. The room was spacious and some nice touches. Air con would have been good but the fan in room was welcome. Was expecting a bit of noise but didn't notice anything. Breakfast was tasty but was unsure what was/not included. Great location for stadium which is why we stayed there. Would go again for sure.

No heated towel rail in the shower room - would have been nice, with the temp outside being below zero. I wanted to leave at 8.45 on my last day - but didn't know how to check out, as the pub was closed. I just left my key in the room door, and hoped they realised that I had gone before 11am, so I didn't get charged for another night! It was a shame that the restaurant closed at 9pm - luckily I found a very good restaurant just up the road.

We stayed for one night in four double rooms for a graduation. Check in officially 3;00pm but we were allowed the use of a room (not one of those we were staying in) from 11;00am when we arrived to change...a 3+ hour car journey in this heat would've made things look as though we'd slept in them!. The rooms were all spotless, comfortable, larger than expected & had fans to try & cool things. Staff were amazingly helpful throughout. Great location & thoroughly recommend to stay if visiting the 'Diff'
