Guest Reviews
- Liaw (10/5): -
- Allessandra (5/5): Muito bem reformado porém falta o essencial básico como uma mesa pra sentar e fazer refeições e utensílios doméstico com - Os móveis são todos novos o apartamento é reformado está tudo novo. Extremamente desconfortável pelo fato de não ter uma mesa com cadeiras para sentar e fazer refeições eu solicitei esse serviço durante os 15 dias que estive hospedada, não tinha uma faca de corte para preparo dos alimentos solicitei esse serviço desde o primeiro dia que cheguei e não fui atendida durante os 15 dias de hospedagem, não tem boas panelas para cozinhar, toda comida que você vai fazer o alarme de ensaio dispara porque fica exatamente em cima da cozinha e toda a fumaça do cozimento faz com que o alarme se despara
- Siddiqur (1/5): - No communication from the owner at all. On the phone listening to music for 40 minutes with no response whatsoever! I went all the way to wales 4 hour drive to come back to London because I had no access to the property. Wasted my time and money. Not happy at all with the booking for this property.
- Gabriela (10/5): -
- Jarvis (1/5): -
- Laura (8/5): Modern, comfortable and a safe place to stay - Very secure with the two code entrances and the apartment was very modern and clean, plenty of space in the kitchen to cook meals and the bathroom and bedroom were also a good size. The desk chair wasn’t comfortable or sufficient for working, some of the utensils in the kitchen weren’t clean and the door locked us in one night although in the morning the remote staff were responsive and the issue didn’t occur again.
- Mark (1/5): I wouldn't stay here - Nothing Called the number they tell you to call in their handbook and no-one answered or replied, they say you have a parking permit in their handbook but not one present, the apartment is on a street that that is falseley advertised in my opinion. I had to pay to stay in a hotel elsewhere as I did not want to stay there
- Pally (6/5): Good for one night only not 5. - Close to Cardiff downtown and the train station. There wasn’t a handle for toilet paper which was odd. The shower soap was barely enough to last me days. I’d have assumed to have it ready for the guest but it was less than half. There was an issue with the heater and the front door but it was dealt with eventually. This isn’t a hotel which I had presumed.
- Finnoughla (8/5): Very good -
- Thomas (8/5): Very good -
- Akhigbe (8/5): Very good -
- Opeyemi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mrigakhi (8/5): Very good -
- Standen (7/5): Good - Great location for us. Very clean and as advertised. We had a parking ticket when parked outside the flat.
We were told that a visitor's permit had been bought. In order to challenge the parking ticket, I requested a copy of the receipt for the visitor's permit, but instead of receiving a copy, I was given evidence that the parking ticket had been paid.
I suggest that visitors request a copy of the receipt for their permit before they park outside the flat.
- Claire (9/5): Superb -
- Talia (10/5): Excellent - The property was very clean
Everything you needed
Good response with staff
Good area No complaints from me
- Thomas (9/5): Superb - Very modern and clean. Excellent value for money. Maybe could have done with a washing up bowl and a couple more towels.
- Harry (10/5): Excellent flat and can’t fault it in any way. - The flat definitely has everything you’d need for 2 people and was very clean. We expected it to be nice but were still pleasantly surprised. We had flat 4 and the upstairs kitchen/lounge area was nice. There was rubbish strewn across the road a few doors down but this wasn’t the hosts fault, that was common throughout Cardiff as a whole.
- Alan (8/5): Very good -
- Stevem (10/5): As expected and described if not better - It was apartment Very good
- Vandvik (8/5): Very good - Clean, secure, modern, well equipped, super shower and kitchen. Also a coffee machine with a couple of complementary pods. Much appreciated. Comfy bed.
- Soniya (9/5): Superb -
- Pete (8/5): Nice clean accommodation - 30 minute walk to the Principality Stadium. rubbish all down the street.
- Shamiam (8/5): Pros and cons but all in all a confortable stay - Clean and modern apartment. Secure uses PIN code to access property rather than key or card. All the facilities were available which made it convenient. It was air bnb not clear on advertisement. I was expecting a block of flats. The area was also not very nice. It was a student area and not very clean area.
- Ross (7/5): The apartment was great, the locks were not - The room was very comfortable and private.
There were others staying in the building but we did not hear them.
Whenever we had any questions the staff were fantastic and really really helpful, especially when we were trying to extend our stay. When we arrived the code we were given for the apartment did not work, over our 2 night stay this happened twice, however when we did call the staff they were fantastic (even when we called them at 11:30pm)
- Sage (8/5): Lovely place to stay while we went to a concert but communication about codes changing would have been helpful. - It was very modern and clean, great facilities and very comfy bed. Lovely place to stay for a few nights. The door access code was changed at midnight but we weren’t informed it would be. We didn’t receive notification of this so were locked out of the flat for a short period. Staff were helpful to get us back in though.
- Lisa (9/5): Brilliant location in a well laid out and comfortable flat - The flat was a ten-minute walk from the Student Union, which was in an excellent location for an event we were attending there. It was close to restaurants/takeaways and express supermarkets and only a short distance further to walk into Cardiff centre itself. Entry is via code, very clean, comfy bed, a walk-in shower and a decent frying pan - exactly what was needed for a two-day stay. Information was received quickly, and parking was arranged easily with the host. Perhaps better quality cutlery (particularly teaspoons) and knowing that there are no condiments (salt, etc) in the flat would have been helpful beforehand.
- Felix (4/5): Disappointing - The check-in was a disaster. We lost more than half an hour trying to get in, because they gave us the wrong code. We also had to talk over the phone and SMS repeatedly, which costs money for non-British people like us.
There was no toilet paper and they didn't bring one even after we asked them, during the second day.
- Vladeee (10/5): Exceptional - Back yard , place to smoke freely ,quiet and comfortable
House very tidy and comfortable
- Anderson (7/5): Good -
- Kerrie (8/5): Review - Very clean and comfortable. Great value and modern. Very quiet. The street was full of rubbish.
- Helen (6/5): Pleasant - Cleanliness and space.
Parking The lock- very fiddly and was unable to gain access for ages. Very thin walls - could hear neighbours clearly. Street out side atrocious - rubbish everywhere!!!
- Islay (8/5): Handy location for event at Principality Stadium - about a half hour walk. -
- D (8/5): Very good -
- Ronald (10/5): Exceptional - Really good quality apartment
- Isabella (10/5): Excellent accommodation close to City centre with all mod-cons! - Location was close enough to centre of Cardiff, but had a wide range of shops and restaurants locally. Free parking was a bonus when we had two cars and this was arranged without any issues. Communication with the hosts was excellent and they responded quickly to any requests. All appliances were modern and the heating, Wi-Fi and TV were excellent.
- Fiona (9/5): Superb - Brand new and very clean. Nicely furnished. Quiet road and parking provided. Staff easy to contact and responded promptly to questions. Super location for visiting child at Uni.
- Tal (9/5): Had a great weekend, was very close to cathays and not too far from town. Door lock needed battery changing, someone cam - Location
Accessibility
Everything you need for a comfortable stay Room was very cold upon arrival, took the heating ages to warm up living room and bedroom.
Floor was a bit dirty and dusty.
No change of towels, toilet paper or bins during the stay.
- Huda (10/5): It exceeded my expectations - Everything.. specially the quick response from the team hosts always there answering my queries special thanks goes to Lucy she really assisted me when I faced a problem to extend my staying in the property it was holidays and Christmas and she was really helpful ..thank you Lucy Nothing
- David (8/5): Very good -
- June (10/5): A great stay thank you - Close to my son’s accommodation, free on street parking, great facilities and really helpful host thank you Nothing
- Maggie (8/5): Very good - Nice apartment and very clean. Difficult to undo the lock on the apartment door.
- Adrian (7/5): Good -
- Vanessa (8/5): Very good -
- Carolyn (1/5): Bad - Unfortunately the access code system would not allow us to enter the property therefore we had to travel back home and not stay.
The staff just said we had entered the code incorrectly and didn't attempt to come and show us how it operated.
All in all we were very disappointed especially as this was a 21st birthday gift for my son and daughter-in-law who had travelled 2.5 hours there and then another 2.5 hours home.
The did however enjoy the concert that they attended whilst in Cardiff Entry system sucks when there's nobody there to help show you how it works
- Debbie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bethany (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marlo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Craig (5/5): Passable - I’m a student area with lots of noise and fast food takeaways. Was a ground floor flat and could hear every movement and conversation from the floor above. Strong smell from rubbish bins nearby. On street parking only mentioned after booking-site suggested residents parking

No complaints whatsoever.
