Hafan y Ddinas Short Stay Apartment

A self-catering apartment opposite the Principality Stadium

Hafan y Ddinas — Welsh for “city haven” — offers a superb location for a Cardiff break. This modern, well-presented self-catering apartment sits directly opposite the iconic Principality Stadium, putting you right at the heart of the action and within easy walking distance of everything the Welsh capital is known for. Sleeping up to six, it is a great choice for families, groups of friends, concert-goers and rugby fans who want the space and freedom of their own place in the city.

Space and self-catering freedom

The apartment has three bedrooms and sleeps up to six guests, with two bathrooms and comfortable, modern living space finished to a high standard. Having your own kitchen and lounge gives you the flexibility to come and go on your own schedule — handy when you are heading to an evening event or making an early start to explore. It is an ideal alternative to a hotel for groups who would rather stay together under one roof.

Right in the middle of everything

Few Cardiff addresses are as central as this. With the Principality Stadium — home to Welsh rugby and a leading concert venue — directly opposite, you are moments from the city’s biggest occasions, and only a short walk from Cardiff Castle, the historic Victorian shopping arcades and the St David’s shopping centre. When the stadium is hosting a match or a concert, having the apartment on the doorstep means no long walk back at the end of the night.

Exploring Cardiff and the Vale

Beyond the city centre, Cardiff has plenty to fill a long weekend. Cardiff Bay, with its waterfront restaurants, the Wales Millennium Centre and boat trips, is a short hop away, while St Fagans National Museum of History — one of Europe’s leading open-air museums — and the National Museum Cardiff are both well worth a visit. The green spaces of Bute Park sit just behind the castle.

The best seat in the city for big events

If your trip is built around a rugby international, a football match or a concert, it is hard to imagine a better location. The Principality Stadium sits directly across from the apartment, so you can soak up the atmosphere on the day and be home within minutes afterwards — no taxi queues or long walks at the end of the night. Cardiff’s restaurants, bars and nightlife are all around you, and the shopping at St David’s and the historic arcades is a short stroll away. For daytime exploring, Cardiff Castle, Bute Park, the National Museum Cardiff and the waterfront at Cardiff Bay are all easily reached on foot or with a quick hop across the city.
