    Pros +

    • Location is amazing. Easy to get to no matter how you're travelling as it's close to local car parks, bus stations and the train station. Clean enough for us with comfy bed, shower and kettle. Can't ask for much more after a drink on Saturday night.
    • Very central location. Clean and comfortable.
    • Excellent location in the city centre.Happy for me to keep my bicycle in the room

    Cons -

    • We stayed on the top floor of this hotel and there's only one way up and that's stairs. We read the reviews beforehand so we knew about that anyway and wasn't bothered by it really.
    • A lot of stairs up to the room, wouldn’t be good if you struggle with these.
    • Some basic touch ups needed. New shower head/hose would've been nice.

    Location that’s it

    Small box room at top of 5 flights of stairs paint pealing in bathroom carpet worn and stained not very clean

    6RebeccaPosted on: 2-11-2026

    The staff were friendly upon check in, and the room was spacious. It all seemed quite outdated, but it served fine as a budget room for one night.

    I can't really remember as some time has passed now, I think it was all fine. Maybe a little bit cold, but the fan heater helped.

    7MarkPosted on: 2-7-2026

    Good location

    Paint flaking in bathroom, heater in bathroom didnt work. Ridiculous "no visitors" notices plastered everywhere. 8 flights of steps

    5NienkePosted on: 2-2-2026

    the room was up very steep flights of stairs, which was fine for us with young legs, but the whole place is flithy, including the mouldy carpet on the very worn carpeted stairs leading up to the rooms. the place is in a great central location, and you check in at the gyros kebab shop which is the ground floor of the accomodation. there are no smells or noises from the surrounding areas, which was the only plus point.

    the room was freezing, the windows cracked, the walls and floors stained (really tried not to touch anything in the room!), mould/damp smelling. the furniture old, and i would not sit in either of the chairs in there! fear there may be scabies.. the beds were lumpy, and the duvet & pillows so thin they didnt keep us warm. (i brought a hot water bottle from home, which saved me). there is a bright green security light in the ceiling which is light enough to read a book by, which cannot be switched off. the bathroom looked like a motorway services bathroom from the 90s, which i expect is when it was installed. the plastic bathmat, which would have been clear at some point, is now yellow/brown and stained with age (i hope its age). i didn't have high expectations, as i paid £73 for one night, but it would have been nice to at least be warm.

    The location is amazing!!! Couldn’t have asked for a a more prime location, for the price per night it’s belting. I had 2 rooms booked & my parents room, the shower handle fell off. Reported it & they had it fixed that night.

    I had 2 rooms booked & my only criticism was that I asked for a low floor for my parents as my mum has breathing difficulties & finds walking up stairs difficult (there is no lift) & when they checked in, they were given room 8 on the very top floor & my mum had to walk 101 stairs to get to the room. Seeing as they were only staying 1 night, she managed but would have preferred the lower floor especially as I asked a few days in advance. Don’t expect a hot shower, the water didn’t stay hot for long so have to be quick.

    TV not was working inter is power full all most very good

    To much floors

    6FavioPosted on: 1-28-2026

    Right in the heart of Cardiff

    Bathroom and room smelled wierd, bit old but not very well taken care of.

    4NigelPosted on: 1-27-2026

    Its ok for a weekend stop but I wouldn't do it for a whole week. Its very good for being in the centre of Cardiff for everything you need eg: Bars, Clubs & Shops.

    The heater in the room was not very good, the room No.6 was cold and would take overnight to make it decently warm. It smells of chlorine in the bathroom, it really needs a makeover to make it up tto scratch for today's standard. The carpets are worn on the stairs and are steep with no lift in the building. Internet was rubbish only getting 1.5 meg speed, tv was small...much improvement needed as I've had better stays elsewhere for the same price.

    location

    Everything is very old, in urgent need of renovation, very dirty, smelly, bathroom with a window without a curtain, overlooking other buildings, shower with lukewarm water, very noisy at night.

    5TrevorPosted on: 1-16-2026

    The location is very convenient for the bars and restaurants and train station.And was very reasonable in price.

    The rooms are dated

    4MariannaPosted on: 1-16-2026

    Comfortable bed. Helpful and kind staff (especially the cleaning staff). It's in the city centre close to everything.

    Not clean, really worn out (dirty, old, ripped carpet) furnitures.Noisy all night We didn't have hot water. No answer for my message just after when the cleaning staff called the office.No parking

    10MdPosted on: 1-12-2026

    It was excellent. I am surprised to see lot of people’s complaints but for me it was extremely peaceful no disturbances, pure comfort and respect towards their tenants. I saw a lot of comments about cleanliness but i have stayed there for 11 days and when i first enter my room it was neat and clean and i was really happy that it was that level of good. Extremely satisfied.

    The sink water drains very slow . Don’t know why .

    6TammyPosted on: 1-4-2026
