Travelodge Cardiff Central Queen Street
Custom beds two minutes from Kingsway
About this hotel
This Travelodge sits two minutes from the Kingsway Hilton tram stop and four minutes from the Museum of Cardiff, close enough to Queen Street station that fans arriving by train can reach the room quickly before heading down towards the stadium. The custom-designed beds are a genuine point of difference for a budget chain, and the restaurant and bar on site cover a simple pre-match meal without venturing far from the front door. The Botanist Cardiff sits four minutes away for a pre-match drink in a livelier setting than the hotel bar itself. Pet-friendly rooms round out a straightforward, no-frills stay built around the Kingsway walking route down to Westgate Street and the ground beyond, useful for fans arriving with a dog in tow.

Our take
This suits fans wanting a simple, well-located budget stay near Queen Street station without paying for extras like a spa or pool. The custom beds are a small but real upgrade over the usual budget chain mattress. The 3.6 rating reflects a functional, if unremarkable, stay that earns its place through location alone.
- Use the Kingsway Hilton tram stop two minutes away if arriving from Queen Street station with luggage.
- Book early for a Six Nations weekend, the Kingsway-side Travelodge rooms sell out despite the basic fittings.
- Visit The Botanist Cardiff four minutes away for a pre-match drink in a livelier setting than the on-site bar.

Why guests love itWe arrived by train into Queen Street station for a Wales match and the short walk to this Travelodge via Kingsway made checking in before the pre-match crowd built up straightforward. The custom-designed beds were a pleasant surprise for a budget chain, and The Botanist Cardiff four minutes away gave us somewhere lively for a pre-match drink before the walk down to the ground.
