Very comfy stay!
The place is very well organised and kept in great condition! Location is also really good, by the water and stadium and super close to centre and stations.

Really nice property in very convenient location within sight if Principality Stadium and Cardiff Central railway station. Room is compact with beds and few hangers but more tjan adequate for our stay. There were plenty of showers which were separate from rooms but plenty of them and never had to wait. Breakfast was great...help yourself and great selection and bery nice

Cleanliness was fine and the shared bathrooms were kept in a good state. The location was good - only a few minutes walk to the centre and half an hour to Cardiff Bay. However the other guests left me feeling quite isolated and intimidated - they took over the shared area and the lack of onsite staff meant that there was no oversight of how loud they were into the evening. The room boasted a TV with Firestick however the Wifi was so inconsistent that it wasn't really fit for purpose. Room was very hot, bed was comfortable and clean. I ended up booking a different hotel for the following night. Would be good for a group of younger travellers however not what I was looking for as a solo traveller.

Wonderful location with easy walking access to the caste, downtown, Bute park and walks along the Taff. The hostel is sparkling clean including bathrooms and showers, with a great kitchen, friendly welcoming staff and lovely ambience. Great breakfasts. Nice to have a patio out at the back to sit and read or eat. Or chat with other guests. Overall : Stellar!

Owners were incredibly welcoming and provided information about things to do in Cardiff and a tour of the hostel. Room and common areas were clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and the provided self-serve breakfast was fantastic.

Etablissement très bien situé à proximité du stade le confort de la chambre est sommaire mais la literie est correcte. L’absence de sanitaires (douche / wc) dans la chambre est à prendre en compte, on est plus dans une auberge de jeunesse que dans un véritable hôtel. Mieux vaut être prévenu...

Vriendelijke jeugdherberg
Vriendelijke jeugdherberg. Vriendelijke sfeer. Ik vond jammer dat het tot 22.00u geluid mog in de keuken. We sliepen ernaast. Maar daarna werd het stil tot 8.00u. Ontbijt mag uitgebreider met zoute broodbeleg; er was geen kaas of ham of ei... alleen jam, pindakaas, chocopasta.
