Where to stay
There are plenty of options for places to stay in Cardiff Bay and Cardiff city centre. Here are a few examples:
Cardiff Bay
For maximum convenience, these hotels in Cardiff Bay are all within walking distance of the venue.
St David’s Hotel
If you want to roll into bed minutes after the reception, and don’t mind paying a bit more (£350 a night at the time of writing), the St. David’s Hotel is right next to Techniquest.
For 5-star luxury, look no further.
The Coal Exchange Hotel
We also recommend the Coal Exchange Hotel (£160): it’s a beautiful building and a genuine piece of local history, about 5 minutes away on foot.

Premier Inn Bute Place
For a more budget-friendly option, there’s a Premier Inn at Bute Place (£80), about a 10-minute walk or 3-minute taxi ride from the venue.

Cardiff City Centre
If you’re spending the weekend in Cardiff, you might prefer to stay in the City Centre so you’re more conveniently placed for sight-seeing. These options are all roughly 15 minutes away from Techniquest by taxi:
Jury’s Inn
The Jury’s Inn hotel is a grand Victorian building right in the centre of Cardiff. Providing 4-star convenience, it’s at the upper end cost-wise (£150).
Royal Hotel
Just 250 metres from Cardiff Central Station, the Royal Hotel (£180) is another 4-star option. We didn’t know this until we started researching, but it also has a rooftop beehive?!
