Affordable lovely stay in Cardiff

Highly recommend staying here. The place was warm, fully equipped with all you need for a weekend away in Cardiff! Brilliant location only 10 minute walk into the city centre and 30 minute walk to the bay and even better if you are there for the stadium as it’s right on your doorstep. 100% returning! Thank you very much ☺️

Nice property with great location

Very accommodating hosts. Allowed us to check in early, and responded quickly to any messages we sent on WhatsApp. Everything in the property was as described. Excellent central Cardiff location. Good quality bathroom and shower. The TV with subscription services was especially welcome. Our only complaints were that it was too hot during our stay, and they didn't have a fan to give us on the first night; and the mattress is very well worn in the middle, so coupled with the heat it wasn't a comfortable sleep the first night. However, they did give us a fan the second night, so it was better.

Really modern, lovely room, great location. I saw quite a few short white hairs on the bed runner and both cutlery and cups were not particularly clean. A little more attention to this would have made the stay great.

Great central location.

The central location of this property was absolutely ideal for our stay. The room had everything needed to be self sufficient and meant that we didn’t have to eat out every evening. A very secure, very well presented property and we would stay here again. Our only gripe was the parking. Pay and display all day (except Sunday) and quite difficult to park Fri/Sat evenings.
