"When Newport Road, one of the main arteries into Cardiff, twists through the city, the Mercure Holland House stands tall as you reach the centre." Full review
Independent "Located on the border between Cardiff city centre and Plasnewydd, the Mercure Holland House is a go-to central base within walking distance from the shopping area on Queen Street and a short walk away from restaurants in the buzzy student area of City Road"
Lonely Planet "The reasonably priced rooms here are large and modern with panoramic views." Full review
Independent "A short stroll from all the action of Cardiff city centre. Guests in the 172-bedroom hotel can take a dip in the 18m pool or relax in the sauna and steam room. Treatments come in all forms."
