Park Plaza Cardiff
Spa and pool a minute from Greyfriars Road
About this hotel
Park Plaza pairs a full spa, indoor pool and hot tub with a location a minute from the Greyfriars Road tram stop, putting a proper wellness stay within easy reach of the same walkable route down to Westgate Street and the stadium. The chic restaurant and bar suit an evening in rather than fighting for a table on the main food strip, and the airport shuttle helps fans flying into Cardiff or Bristol. The National Museum Cardiff sits six minutes away for a pre-match visit, and the business centre and kid-friendly rooms round out a hotel built for a range of travellers beyond the matchday crowd. The 4.3 rating and strong 4.8 location score reflect consistency across both comfort and convenience.

Our take
This suits fans who want a full spa weekend without straying far from the Westgate Street walking route, plus families and business travellers who value the extras beyond the match itself. The airport shuttle is a real advantage for fans flying in. The 4.3 rating from over two thousand reviews backs up a hotel that rarely disappoints on comfort.
- Book the spa and pool slot well ahead of a Six Nations weekend, this is one of the most popular wellness stays on this list.
- Use the airport shuttle if flying into Bristol rather than booking a taxi transfer.
- Visit the National Museum Cardiff six minutes away if you have time before a later kickoff.

Why guests love itWe flew into Bristol for a Wales match and the airport shuttle from Park Plaza saved the hassle of a taxi transfer at the end of a long travel day. The spa and hot tub that evening set the weekend up properly, and the minute walk to Greyfriars Road meant getting down to Westgate Street the next day was never a concern despite the pre-match crowds building around us.
