Leonardo Hotel Cardiff
Grand building a minute from Greyfriars Road
About this hotel
Leonardo Hotel occupies a genuinely grand building a minute from the Greyfriars Road tram stop, close enough to the National Museum Cardiff, five minutes away, that fans with a free morning before a later kickoff can fit in a visit. The chic modern European dining room gives the stay more polish than the budget chains nearby, and the eight function rooms suit larger group bookings around a fixture, from supporters clubs to corporate hospitality groups extending a business trip into a match weekend. Daffodil restaurant sits five minutes away for an alternative pre-match meal. The walk down towards Westgate Street and the stadium from here stays manageable, helped by the Greyfriars Road tram stop right outside.
- Grand building
- Function rooms
- Near museum
Our take
This suits larger groups needing function room space around a fixture, plus fans who want a grand building and proper dining rather than a standard chain hotel. The National Museum Cardiff five minutes away is a genuine bonus for a free morning. The 4.3 rating and 4.9 location score reflect a hotel that delivers on both scale and setting.
- Book function room space early if travelling as a supporters club or larger group around a fixture.
- Visit the National Museum Cardiff five minutes away if you have a free morning before a later kickoff.
- Use the Greyfriars Road tram stop right outside rather than walking the full distance to Westgate Street.
Why we love it
- A grand building a minute from Greyfriars Road
- Five minutes from the National Museum Cardiff
- Eight function rooms for group bookings
- Chic modern European dining
Why guests love itWe booked here as a supporters club group and the function room space made organising a pre-match gathering far easier than trying to find table space in a packed city centre pub. The National Museum Cardiff five minutes away gave us something to do the morning of a later kickoff, and the modern European dining room covered a proper group dinner the night before.
