Cardiff Bute Terrace Hotel By Belvilla
Colourful lobby bar off Bute Terrace
About this hotel
This budget hotel sits two minutes from the Bute Terrace Radisson Blu, on the eastern edge of the city centre closer to the Cardiff Bay taxi route than the Westgate Street cluster. The colourful lobby bar gives the place more personality than a standard chain budget option, and breakfast with Wi-Fi comes included in the price, useful for keeping costs down on an expensive Six Nations weekend. Banana Tree Cardiff sits six minutes away for a pre-match meal, and the nine minute taxi to Cardiff Bay makes it a workable base for fans splitting their trip between the match and the waterfront. Pet-friendly rooms round out a hotel built around value over polish.

Our take
This suits budget-conscious fans who want a base on the Cardiff Bay side of the centre rather than right on Westgate Street, plus anyone travelling with a pet. The colourful lobby bar adds some character that a purely functional budget stay often lacks. Reviews put the overall rating at 3.5, reflecting a straightforward budget option rather than a polished one.
- Book early if travelling with a pet, pet-friendly budget rooms near the stadium sell out fast on rugby weekends.
- Use the included breakfast to cut costs on an expensive Six Nations Saturday in the city.
- Allow the nine minute taxi ride if planning a Cardiff Bay evening before or after the match.

Why guests love itWe booked this hotel for a budget Six Nations weekend with our dog, and the pet-friendly rooms plus free breakfast kept the trip affordable against an expensive city that weekend. The colourful lobby bar was a nice surprise for what we expected to be a purely functional stay, and the nine minute taxi to Cardiff Bay let us fit in an evening away from the match crowd.
