Clayton Hotel Cardiff
Two minutes from the Customhouse Street tram
About this hotel
Clayton Hotel sits two minutes from the Customhouse Street tram stop that connects the city centre to Cardiff Bay, useful for fans wanting to split a weekend between the match crowd and a quieter evening down by the water. Cardiff Market is seven minutes away on foot, and Las Iguanas sits two minutes from the door for a pre-match meal without wandering far. The gym gives the stay a bit more substance than a pure budget option, and the laid-back restaurant and bar suit an evening that does not require joining the loudest street-level crowd. It occupies the same city centre loop as the market-side Premier Inn but adds the tram connection and the gym as genuine extras.

Our take
This suits fans who want the flexibility of the tram connection to Cardiff Bay alongside a solid city centre base, plus anyone valuing a gym over a purely budget stay. The two minute walk to Customhouse Street keeps transport options open beyond just walking to the ground. The 4.2 rating and near-perfect 4.9 location score reflect a well-rounded, if not distinctive, choice.
- Use the Customhouse Street tram stop two minutes away for a pre-match trip out to Cardiff Bay.
- Eat at Las Iguanas two minutes from the door rather than queuing further into the city centre.
- Book the gym slot the morning after a late finish rather than fighting for breakfast room space.

Why guests love itWe stayed at Clayton Hotel for a Saturday international and used the Customhouse Street tram two minutes away for a pre-match trip out to Cardiff Bay before heading back to join the crowd walking down to the ground. Las Iguanas two minutes from the door covered dinner the night before, and the gym the next morning was a welcome option before a long day on our feet.
