Looking for a place to sleep 3 june (Cardiff Citycentre)

Sun Apr 09, 2017 11:49 am

Hello lads,
I'am visiting Cardiff in the weekend of the CL final. I am looking for a place to sleep in the city centre for 1 night (3 june). Hostels are asking huge amount of money (180 pound in a 10 person shared room). I was wondering if someone on this forum can help me. If someone can help me, i can give a service back. I've got tickets for Borussia Dortmund on the Yellow wall, and also tickets at Feyenoord and Ajax. I can introduce myself in a PM. Let's help each other folks :ayatollah:

A taxi back to the valleys costs a bomb and probably even more for this Dutch guy once they see he's not local.

far, far less than the hotel or hostel in Cardiff he was quoting - I get a taxi after midnight up to Ystrad Mynach on an international day, when taxis are like the Wild west, and I've never paid more than £35. In fact, if you use Uber they can be even less and they come and pick you up in Westgate Street.

Last time I had a taxi it was either 45 or £50. I don't live up the valleys but still about 17 miles from city centre.
