Cardiff Sandringham Hotel
Two minutes from Westgate Street itself
About this hotel
Cardiff Sandringham keeps things simple, breakfast and Wi-Fi access in a relaxed setting two minutes from both Cardiff Market and Westgate Street itself, putting fans right in the middle of the pre-match walking route at the lowest end of the price scale on this entire list. Tŷ Madeira Restaurant sits a minute away for a pre-match meal, and the small meeting space suits a group booking a room for a pre-match gathering before heading down to the ground together. The rooms stay basic in true two-star fashion, but the location matches or beats several pricier hotels on this list for pure distance to the Westgate Street approach and the stadium beyond it.
- Near Westgate Street
- Near Cardiff Market
- Budget-friendly
Our take
This suits fans on a tight budget who still want to be right in the middle of the Westgate Street action rather than trading location for a cheaper room further out. The perfect 5.0 location score, the highest on this list, reflects just how central the setting really is. Anyone wanting more than the basics should look elsewhere, but for location per pound this is hard to beat.
- Book early despite the basic rooms, the two minute walk to Westgate Street makes this sell out fast on a budget.
- Eat at Tŷ Madeira Restaurant a minute away rather than the more expensive options further into the centre.
- Expect simple, no-frills rooms, the value here is entirely in the Westgate Street location.

Why guests love itWe booked Cardiff Sandringham on a tight budget for a Wales match and were surprised how close it actually was to Westgate Street, right in the thick of the pre-match crowd the next morning. Tŷ Madeira Restaurant a minute away covered a cheap pre-match meal, and while the rooms were basic, the location alone made it one of the best value stays we found for the weekend.
