Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday
Pool and spa off Fitzalan Place
About this hotel
Holland House pairs an indoor pool, hot tub and spa with slick city-view rooms three minutes from Fitzalan Place, on the eastern edge of the centre rather than the closer Westgate Street cluster. That trade means a slightly longer approach to the stadium, closer to a ten minute transit ride to reach the castle side of town, but the spa and pool make the stay itself feel more like a proper city break than a quick match-night stop. Yadgar Restaurant sits seven minutes away for a pre-match meal, and full-service laundry suits fans staying a full week around a fixture rather than just the weekend. The fitness centre rounds out a hotel built for comfort over pure proximity.

Our take
This suits fans who want a proper spa weekend and do not mind a slightly longer approach to the stadium from the eastern side of the centre. Anyone prioritising the shortest possible walk should look towards the Westgate Street cluster instead. The 4.1 rating and solid 4.5 location score reflect a hotel that trades a bit of proximity for comfort.
- Book the spa and pool slot ahead of a Six Nations weekend, it fills with guests staying the full week.
- Allow extra time to reach the stadium from Fitzalan Place, it runs closer to ten minutes by transit than the closer hotels.
- Eat at Yadgar Restaurant seven minutes away for something different from the city centre pub food strip.

Why guests love itWe stayed here for a full week around a Six Nations fixture and the full-service laundry and spa made it feel like a proper stay rather than a rushed match weekend. The walk to the stadium ran a bit longer than we expected from Fitzalan Place, but the pool and hot tub in the evenings more than made up for the extra ten minutes each way.
