Future Inn Cardiff Bay

Future Inn stands on Hemingway Road in Cardiff Bay, a short walk from the Wales Millennium Centre and the waterfront. There are 197 en-suite bedrooms, every one of them sleeps up to four, and parking is free for twenty-four hours — which in Cardiff Bay is worth more than it sounds.

A Cardiff Bay hotel with free parking

The Bay is where Cardiff put its concert hall, its assembly and most of its restaurants, and parking down there is neither easy nor cheap. Free on-site parking for the length of your stay is the single most practical thing about this hotel, and there are electric charging points too.

Rooms

197 bedrooms, all en suite and air conditioned, and all of them sleep up to four. Twin rooms have two queen-sized beds; standard rooms have a double and a double sofa bed; king suites add a separate sitting room with another sofa bed. Every room has free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen television, a desk and a laptop safe.

Eating and drinking

Thomas Bar & Restaurant is on site, serving British and Welsh dishes, with a Sunday carvery. Breakfast runs from a full cooked buffet down to a lighter continental, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and the tea, coffee and juice are unlimited.

Cardiff Bay on the doorstep

The Wales Millennium Centre is a few minutes on foot, and so is the Senedd, the Norwegian Church and the run of restaurants along Mermaid Quay. The barrage walk takes you right across the mouth of the bay to Penarth in about half an hour. Cardiff city centre and the Principality Stadium are ten minutes by road or a short hop on the bay train.
