Don't be put off by the location

This place is great for an over nighter. Stayed here to watch the rugby. The location is rundown and not very inviting but once you are in, it's clean and does the job.

For student accommodation, the place is great, and it’s value is second to none. Likewise the staff were friendly and great to deal with. However, is a 20 minute walk to the city center, and isn’t in the greatest area. Giving it 5 stars as it’s better than expected and considering the price of hotels at the time due to the billy joel concert, a clean bed and ensuite for that price is incredible. However if staying in the future when hotel prives aren’t through the roof, would stay elsewhere in cardiff

Great value, helpful staff.

My check in was friendly and helpful. Especially regarding parking arrangements that were well advised and assisted. The room was clean and practical. It suited my needs perfectly for an overnight stay. Huge value for money given some of the more expensive options offered less in terms of the positives outlined above!

Pleasantly surprise

First time we’ve stayed here and was pleasantly surprised. Easy to book. It was clean and staff were helpful. Good value for money as we only needed a bed for the night and shower and team making facilities. Was a little loud at times at night. Overall good.

Property itself was nice, clean and great facilities. Would have loved my uni galls to be as nice as they were. We were in the ground floor and there was a noticeable smell of drains when we arrived. Area the property is in is very dirty. Litter everywhere! And just seemed grotty.

Honestly…

Well mainly 3 things 1. Mattress isn’t comfortable at all. Definitely needs change. 2. People make noises or too loud arguing in corridor around mid night. There should Be rules not to bother others 3. Staff is kind and good, place is amazing from near by bustop weatherspoon supermarket , it’s neat

Could be cleaner

Stayed here with my teenage son for two nights over the summer holidays. This accommodation is located in a student area about a twenty minute walk to the centre of Cardiff. Area very run down and side street where the accommodation is located was always filthy with takeaway food strewn all over pavements, a real haven for rats! The room was spacious but bathroom small. Room could have been cleaner, the floor at the side of the bed certainly hadn’t been swept/vacuumed and bathroom was quite grubby. For £30 a night I shouldn’t really complain although I definitely wouldn’t want to stay again.

Recommended, but avoid the ground floor...

Property is off term student residence (although there are still plenty of students about...). Second floor room was good, but ground floor suffered from noise from the front of hge building so windows couldn't be left open. Biggest issue was the mad wooden construction at the top of the bed - total H&S issue - brained myself on the sharp corner a couple of times - GET THAT TRIMMED OFF!! Reasonable location for access to the city centre, no site parking, but plenty of on street in the local, reasonable eateries acailable (the Lebanon was superb!!). Would recommed, although try to avoid the ground floor.
The dreaded sharp corner!!

This is student accommodation - so that needs to be taken into account. It was also cheap - which is great!! If you accept that it's a student hall - albeit new and tidy/ clean and basic, then it's great. I was down to watch the rugby and it was perfect for that. The area isn't terrible, but it is a student area, so a bit noisy on a Saturday night at 2:30am. Big downside is no parking on site. Having said that, you can park within a few minutes walk. And it's really convenient for the city centre, and an easy walk. Overall - great value for money, good towels, clean, free pool and a vending machine on site. My room had a fridge, micro/convection oven/ sink etc - as it's self catering student accommodation. Would I go again - yes.

Good, but need few improvements!

I stayed in this property for two weeks as a interim stay while moving apartments. The room itself was clean, with ample storage area, work desk and the people working were friendly and responsive. Few things to mention were that the nights were really noisy from few of the neighbours and the loud banging of doors when people walk in and out of their rooms. I would not blame it on the guests but on the design of the doors closing behind. Also there was no scheduled cleaning of the room as mentioned during check in.Could not keep the windows open at night because loud noises made by the seagulls around which I think is not in the properties control. Think the property is taking all the effort for accommodate more people as hotel guests!
