Brilliant location - 5 minute walk to stadium! Great pub 30 seconds away! Rooms aren’t en- suite but there are plenty of bathroom facilities in the property it wasn’t an issue. Nice basic breakfast available in the morning which was plenty of choice available. ##### Clare Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Breakfast was available but I made Separate arrangements elsewhere.

The only down side to our stay (not the b&bs fault) we were on the ground floor next to the main front door so we was kept awake some of the night people going in and out at all hours and slamming the gate in the middle of the night. But overall a very clean and comfortable stay. ##### Lauren Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome weekend! it was located in an ideal location, beautiful room and house in general ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca Nov 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice rooms and easy to find from the train station.

I was a bit hesitant before booking because the bathroom is shared, but that wasn’t a problem at all during our stay — there are several bathrooms and they were always clean and available. The bed is amaaaazing, super comfortable, and the breakfast is great — definitely worth the investment. Check-in and check-out were very convenient thanks to the smart lock technology. I highly recommend this accommodation, I have no complaints, only praise. I liked everything! ##### Jhenifer Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Penny Oct 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Very convenient location.

The property was near Cardiff Central Station and it is accessible to buses and other modes of transportation. It is also near tourist attractions like Cardiff Castle and the National Museum of Natural History. The place itself is clean, amenities are easily accessble and the self-check in was very convenient. ##### Jan Kelvin Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam Jul 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Good location, room layouts are odd tho with tvs where they cant be seen from the table or bed. Only spoke with staff on whatsapp and they were helpful ##### Adam Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Valerijs Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Amenities Room it self was ok. I would say average. In regards bathroom was dirty, I had to clean first before use it. In regards breakfast, not enough options. Only on first morning breakfast was great. Food kept replenished. Then at rest of the days of my stay with the family, breakfast was very limited. Never was replenished. I don’t recommend include breakfast when you stay. Even during the evening would not able to get cup of coffee. Owner kept locking coffee machine every time. Only good about this stay, wi-fi connection was great and tv options were phenomenal had absolutely everything what you want. However when you on holiday you trying always be outside to explore, Many thanks Regards Wolf ##### Valerijs Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andie Mar 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### an unexpected stay First the bad bits-its past history as an hostel clearly shows, especially when you notice staff only inhabit the property, thrice daily before leaving, causing mess to linger for upto six hours. As a matter of fact, the owners are only seen during breakfast for a short period, which can be frustrating if something goes wrong, like it did with me and you have no way of contacting them; There should be, in my experience of traveling, somebody knowledgeable enough on hand, for those like me, who require additional support or prefer analogue methods. Certain things could do with a bit of updating to post covid standards, not to mention, instructions regarding breakfast and other things made more clearer, but i have moaned enough, to make my review unbalanced, so I'll move on to the positives. Despite the shady, dreary, late 00's décor, I cant fault how secure and modern the building is, For an accommodation advertised as an B&B, i wasn't expecting beautiful views, self service and all streaming services included with the price; If i had more money, time and energy, it would have been no problem to stay the entirety simply in this hybrid stay. what staff i did mange to find, were a mixture of friendly, helpful and oppositely, hard to speak with, due to language barriers. overall, i will be wanting to come back later in the year for a do-over, which will be the first time since i was eleven, that i've made a return visit to a property ##### andie Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### padraig Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent location Perfect location, looking directly across the Taff at the stadium.
