Guest Reviews
- Finley (8/5): A day for 2 - 30 minute walk from Cardiff center, nice accommodations, free WiFi and comfortable beds The owner didn't reply to a message asked about leaving times, TV had no channels, no recycling bins/hidden
- Tarig (8/5): Very good -
- Donal (6/5): For normal fees it’s probably fine. £360 for a room with a shared bathroom and no bath mat is madness - It was available - our accommodation cancelled a week ago (presumably because they realised Oasis were playing and they hadn’t charged a fortune). Booking.com felt this was an equivalent…
The room was clean
Parking available right at the front door Not providing bath mats per room for a shared shower is unpleasant
No individual hairdryers and the one from the bathroom had vanished this morning
The area is a bit interesting
- Grace (7/5): Nice stay - Good location. Room very clean and comfortable, water and tissues provided as well. Bathroom was clean. Host very friendly and gave clear and easy instructions before arrival. Thank you! Need to wait to use toilet because bathroom is shared. But everything else in the home was great.
- Dave (8/5): Very good -
- Amy (8/5): Excellent - Great location and only a 6 minute drive from cardiff central train station. The property was very clean when we arrived and so was the room. Coffee and tea were provided also which was excellent. The bathroom was also very clean too and it was overall a very pleasant stay. Nothing everything was perfect
- Jack (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sophie (8/5): Very good - Very clean, comfortable and nice looking Moldy foods in fridge from other visitors
- Patrycja (8/5): Very good -
- Shanawaz (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, clean room, bathroom with bath and shower, clean kitchen with all facilities.
Good location, with loads of shops at the end of the road, about a 20 minute walk into the centre of Cardiff
- Kylie (2/5): Stay wasn't great due to what had happened - Space in bedroom even though the lounge and dining area had been converted to a bedroom.
Free toothbrush and small tube of toothpaste Two rooms in the house are permanently rented out on the cheap to the hosts sister and some random bloke. My Father was threatened by one of the guys who lived there as they were cooking and banging making lots of noise at 12.30am. So father asked them to respect house rules and keep noise down but then had tirade of abuse saying he would phone his mates to come to property and make sure it looked like he never existed. So it all kicked off in the kitchen - this is the guy who lives there on the cheap. Disgusting behaviour really! Your basically on a dodgy street and parking can be a nightmare
- Becky (9/5): it was better than i thought it would be. - I liked the decor of the House and the quiet surroundings considering that it was in a built up area.
very nicely decorated. I think it needed some fresh air in the property as it was a bit musty on entering the downstairs room 1.
Apart from that, very clean and tidy. Nice kitchen and bathroom & garden.
- Jade (10/5): Brilliant - It was very clean and the facilities were great! Very quick and good communication with the owner! Would definitely stay again if in Cardiff.
- Dylan (7/5): Good -
- Sheryl (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vivienne (9/5): Superb - Clean Nothing
- Summer (5/5): It was ok - Was clean, modern furniture and comfortable sleep in the double bed. Left us toothbrush packs, water bottles and towels which was a nice touch. No fault of the landlord but didn’t feel safe at all, the area is very dodgy and not safe to walk especially at night. Was not aware it was a shared bathroom which you have to walk through the kitchen to get to, and no other bathrooms in the building, you share with everyone else in the 4 bedroom house. Would say it’s a bit overpriced for what you get.
- Noreen (9/5): A clean, comfortable home away from home. - Great facilities. The accommodation was great but the location seemed to be in a rougher part of the city. We were a bit nervous walking to/from the accommodation but it was fine .
- Labhán (9/5): Lovely Home. - House was lovely. Smelt really fresh and clean.
The host was such a lovely lady. Unfortunately the street that the house was on was quite rough looking.
- Zena (7/5): 1 night - The room was very clean. Bed very comfortable. Bottled water provided in room. Access is your handprint and a code which gets sent you with information, easy. Any problems telephone number provided. Did not have to use it though. Shared bathroom which you had to go through kitchen to get too. I was upstairs so having to go in the night was awkward as you have to pass everyone else's rooms trying to be as quiet as possible. Walls are thin. No tea/coffee facilities in room. Hairdryer in bathroom to take and use, but if someone else is using it your stuffed. No taxi numbers on information wall.
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Ali (9/5): Superb -
- Emma (8/5): Great for short stay. Convenient to centre. Very clean. - Absolutely spotless & clean room, kitchen and bathroom.
Loved that tea and coffee was provided.
Nice and cool room.
Parking available on road.
Entry to property was easy & well explained prior to stay.
Towels provided.
Bottled water provided.
Quiet street. Immediate area is advised not to walk late at night, as walking police told us it was best to get a taxi home. This is no reflection on the property or landlord at all.
People staying in other rooms are heard, key entry to property is loud in the early hours, especially when people attempt it more than 3 times!! We stayed in the ground floor room which was great for access to the shared bathroom on same floor. You do hear people coming in and out, as you would because it is a house.
- Michelle (10/5): Comfortable and clean - Secure, clean and location was perfect for our stay The tv in the bedroom didn’t work
- Rebecca (9/5): Superb -
- Geraldine (10/5): Lovely, beautiful, peaceful. - It was a perfect place for our stay. Away from town but nice and quiet. I love the host, Very nice and caring lady. Replies messages and advises accordingly. The bathroom being downstairs, but all in all. It was a lovely place.
- Hassan (8/5): Affordable room not far from city centre - The location was excellent being within walking distance to the city centre. It has a nice garden. I wish a table lamp had been provided.
- Arjun (9/5): Superb -
- Keith (7/5): Good -
- Hodges (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yasmin (7/5): Good -
- Jaroslaw (7/5): All good, but unfortunately was really cold. - Really cold 🥶 inside the building.
- Ali (8/5): Very good -
- Hayley (8/5): A pleasant stay - Straight forward entry with codes, the room set up is like a house you have looked room on second floor and access to kitchen and small city yard.. shared toilet with 4 rooms Could not shut door to bedroom with using key to lock.. and shared bathroom was down stairs passed kitchen
- Sarah (6/5): OK, wouldn’t stay again - Bed was comfy and was clean Toilet seat broken, bath grubby, bathroom shared between 4 rooms and no curtains in room, overpriced.
- Anonymous (7/5): Great family room short distance from town. - Great size room for 3 adults. Bed was very comfortable, sofa bed was a great addition. Very clean and tidy room. Kitchen and bath room good sizes room and well equipped. 30 minute walk into town. Parking was available in the street. Needs black out curtains. Street lights kept room lite up all night. Bathroom need some attention on tiles and bath steel due to age.
- Katherine (8/5): For a short stay it was perfect. - Room was a good size, nice clean bathroom. Information about transport into the city centre would have been useful.
- Rakesh (7/5): Good - The place was well maintained & lighted for sunlight and ventilation. Maybe a provision of a table & chair to keep your suitcase & Little things like water bottle, Shaving kit, Cosmetics, wallet etc would help. The Hand wash bottle on the wash basin was not functional. Rest was fine. Thanks.
- Karen (8/5): Very comfortable bed - Very clean Only one bathrooom
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional - Location, easy walk into the city centre
- Helga (7/5): Good -
- Driesvanherreweghe (7/5): Good -
- Ivona (9/5): Comfy stay in a nice house - The check-in was super easy and the hosts were very nice and responsive! The house was very clean in general. The room was small, but the bed was very comfortable, the carpet was soft and clean and the wardrobe was enough for a short stay for two people. We especially loved the kitchen and the outdoor area. The kitchen is new, very clean, extremely well equipped and as a bonus - it is super stylish. 💚 The room could have had a bit more furniture, for example a bedside shelf or a shelf anywhere else in the room so that one could place cosmetics, wallet, keys etc there. Hooks on the walls for jackets would have also been nice and maybe an alternative, smaller light. We also found it a bit uncomfortable that the room was on an upper and the bathroom on a lower floor, and additionally one would have to walk through the kitchen to reach the bathroom. So, if there are other guests in the kitchen, then it is a bit awkward… but it is not really a big deal and one cannot just change the arrangement of the house! The bathroom was spacious and well-equipped, but there was a bit of rust around the bathtub.
- Anja (7/5): Good - Very clean, spacious rooms. Neighborhood.
Lack of private batroom.
- Joaquin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Manisha (10/5): Exceptional - Clean
- Mira (9/5): Superb -
- Annabella (5/5): Passable - This was only room in the shared house. We had to share the bathroom with the other people. It was clean and tidy and nice refurbished
- Michaela (7/5): Good - The building is in a quiet street in walking distance to the city centre. Small restaurants and shops are just around the corner. The house is simple but cozy and very clean. The interior seemed new and well maintained. One bathroom for 4 guest rooms can cause little traffic jams in the morning but everybody tried to finish quickly so it was fine. The furnishing of our room was very basic, we only had a bed and a cupboard. Any kind of table would be an emprovment.
- Jonesey (8/5): Very good - Very clean to a high standard. Kitchen well equipped xx The shared bathroom facilities
- Shatila (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mr (8/5): Very good -
- Shannon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ally (10/5): Exceptional -
- Scott (7/5): Good - Clean Shared bathroom
- Christian (8/5): I was a very nice stay. - Nice place. Confortable and clean. The garden is a plus and is great to spend the evening.
Reactivity of the owner is very good to fix things Lack of curtains. It's too bright in the morning and disturb sleeping.
The lock at the entrance didn't work very as it was very hard something to turn it on. I noticed the owner of that and it was replace very fast. It was better but still not easy to turn the lock on. I'd say the model of this lock is not reliable.
- Konstantinos (9/5): Superb - Location was OK. 20 min walking to the city center! It was very clean and it had a lot of shops near by. Even to have a small breakfast. Nice and quick in response owners. It has 4 bedrooms with shared toilet and kitchen which was OK. But the doors were old and you could hear everybody. We had the ground floor room and we knew who came and who left the apartment.
- Jeanette (8/5): Very good -
- Toni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (9/5): Very nice stay - I and my friends stayed in a very nice room on the first floor. The room was spacious, so the three of us stayed with great comfort. The apartment is cozy and clean, so it was very comfortable to use the shared bathroom and kitchen. We had breakfast at the lovely spot at the table outside next to the backyard (a bakery with the best pasties de nata around the corner is strongly recommended). The are stores nearby. The apartment is about 20 min walk from the train station, which was very nice when all the crowds went partying on a Saturday night, but we had space to rest from the day of traveling in a calm neighborhood. The host was very approachable and helpful. Sometimes people from the other rooms occupied the bathroom for a long time.
- Graham (8/5): Very good -
- Chang (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Salvia (9/5): I will say, 9/10 and i will come and stay there again. Good value for money . - Cleanliness, looks modern. Very homely. Neighbours are nice and chatty.. staff are friendly and lively. Cleanliness and homely atmosphere. Youve git all u need at your own home
- Liam (10/5): Lovely home! - It was a lovely place to stay, very accessible and comfortable. Parking isn't ideal on a busy day, but it didn't take long to find a space! :)
- Tegan (8/5): Very good - The room was massive and felt very bright. Was really nice for them to provide some bottled water in the room. The house is very well furnished and looked after. It is advertised with a shared kitchen but wasn't advertised with a shared bathroom. Had to wait a while on occasions to use it as a result.
The free parking is street parking and is quite limited.
You could hear other guests easily throughout the property and random passers-by outside on the street, which was a little annoying late at night (we stayed on a weekend though so that is beyond the property's control)
- Louise (10/5): 30 min walk from the center, 10 min cab. Its great and value for money! - The room was super tidy, and beautiful :)
Bed and pillows were comfortable. I wish there was separate loo from the bathroom just because if someone is having a shower you can't use the loo.
Not the worst thing in the world. Not much they can do about this tbf
- Erin (9/5): Superb - Gorgeous modern room with comfy beds, easy access and parking.
- Vitalii (8/5): Very good -
