Parking on Elmwood Court, CF24
No dramas, easy to get to. Only thing is, either side of the parking bays could be 24 so unsure which side to park. Would be worth stating whether that matter and if so which side. Either way always a space and out of the way

Parking on Castle Street, CF10
This was the first time I used this app and used this service. The app is so easy to use and navigate and to book your parking space when ever is convenient for you as it has a calendar so you can pre book. I was slightly nervous this morning parking as I wasn’t sure if I was a the right car park but I took my chance this morning and went for it. But it was absolutely fine. I was in the right car park. I did got lost trying to get back to the car park only because when I arrived it was dark and I couldn’t see properly. The car park was so easy to find and only 8 minutes to the City Centre. I will definitely be using this service again. I will be recommending this service to my friends and family.

Best place to park in Cardiff. Central, easy accessible with no gates or security patrol to go through. But still safe with camera’ monitoring 24/7. My best parking spot!
