Does anyone know any cheap hotels near the stadium for the Magic weekend?

Thanks

there are no cheap hotels in cardiff they will put the price up for that weekend you would be better of staying in pontypridd merthyr aberdare all these places 25 min to cardiff by train

Daughter looked into going for the weekend and the cheapest they could find was £79 at a Travelodge

Newport to Cardiff is only 15 minutes by train. Every 10-15mins & only £3.90.
Avoid Merthyr.

why avoid merthyr

Because it's a dump.

We stay in Bristol then get the train over to Cardiff.

just trying to be helpfull you always get one been there and dunit

I live 35 miles from Merthyr. I would not wish any one to go there. If you want that area try Abergavenny.

Quote from the Idler...=#FF4000The bleakly beautiful Brecon Beacons sweep majestically south, and come to a jarring, splattering halt in Merthyr Tydfil.

Once an industrial powerhouse, and a hotbed of radical politics – it is now filled with parochial, overweight troglodytes who will tell you that “Merthyr is as good as any place I’ve been to” – as they gorge on the three key food groups – beer, chips and 20 Bensons.

Sprawling housing estates, high unemployment, alcohol abuse and rampant stupidity suck the life out of people – till they resemble Morlocks, only with bluer skin, and fewer aspirations.

Park up a few tanks, and it could be East Germany.
