Parking
Guests at the Hilton Cardiff have mixed reviews when it comes to parking. Some found the parking provision to be limited with a car park that is not connected to the hotel itself and others mentioning having to park a 10-minute walk away. While the location was seen as great, some found the parking to be expensive and not great overall. The hotel car park is available, but guests were often charged a fee of £25 per day.
