Warning to Cardiff hotels over Rugby World Cup prices

Hotels increasing their prices six-fold during the Rugby World Cup could "seriously damage the image of Cardiff", a former tourism chief has warned.

The Holiday Inn off the M4's junction 32 has upped its price from £97 to just under £600 for the night of Ireland's game against Canada.

The nearby Village Urban Resort has rooms for £499, up from £105.

Cardiff's Hoteliers Association said the prices were "in tune with demand".

But Jonathan Jones, former chief executive at Visit Wales, warned accommodation providers' high prices could prevent return business.
