On the Saturday evening, we will have a meal at Zero Degrees. Sunday after breakfast you can explore some more or set off home. We will offer the opportunity to local members to attend the fish & chip supper and the Saturday dinner without having to also choose accomodation.

We had a great weekend here in January 2024. The hotel is fairly basic but in a brilliant location with lovely friendly staff. It's great value for a weekend break in such a great location. There is currently an Early Booking Discount of £10 The price will increase at the end of June.

The Sandringham Hotel is a well-established family run 2* Hotel with good service and friendly atmosphere. It is situated in the heart of the City of Cardiff and only a few minutes walk from the many Shopping Malls and Arcades, of which the City is justly proud; and, just a 'long pass' from the famous Principality Stadium. The Sandringham Hotel offers all that the discerning traveller requires and more.

The Sandringham Hotel was built in the 1880’s. Previously known as the Black Lion, it is a landmark in Cardiff’s St Mary Street. The famous stone lion on top of the building is a great reminder of that era.

The Dutton Family has owned the Hotel since 1989. Mr. Eric Dutton MBE, a well known figure in the capital, served as president of Cardiff Chamber of Trade and was a former chairman of Cardiff Initiative. He was also the first-ever patron of the Cardiff Hoteliers’ Association. In 2003, Mr. Dutton was awarded an MBE for over fifty years of loyal voluntary service to the community in Cardiff. He has now sadly passed away but the hotel remains operated by his sons Simon and Michael and his daughter in law Alison.
