• Haile-Meskel (1/5): - Good friendly service Good service
• Guest (10/5): -
• Guest (8/5): Cosy and welcoming. I absolutely feel like I could come back any time c: - Host was an absolute joy to talk to and provided easily one of the biggest breakfasts I've had while travelling. Absolutely cosy vibes. Out of the owners control but one shower was out of commission. This really wasn't a problem though.
• Guest (10/5): The host was awesome. Couldn't be better elsewhere - Breakfast was splendid and location was accessible. Nil
• Laurence (9/5): Like home from home, felt very comfortable - fantastic breakfast
• Mélanie (10/5): Like a home abroad ! - 🇫🇷 (English below) Michelle est une super hôte, j’ai été vraiment super bien accueillie, sa maison est propre et cosy, la chambre super confortable, Michelle prend le temps de nous accomoder, elle nous aide avec le transport, quoi faire et voir, elle fait tout pour qu’on soit bien, petit dej au top ! 🇬🇧 Michelle is a great host, she’s so helpful and accommodating, we had very interesting conversations and she always makes sure you’re comfortable, warm enough, she makes a nice breakfast for you, Felt like home really, and her house (and the room) is cosy and quiet.
• Amanda (10/5): Home away from home. - I felt at home. I had absolutely everything I needed including a good night's sleep. Michelle was straightaway likeable and made me feel nurtured...which a lone traveller sometimes needs. Hmm. All was great.
• Guest (8/5): Lovely - I loved the hospitality provided. It was superb
• Wambui (9/5): It was very lovely - It was clean and quiet. The host was very lovely
• Marta (10/5): Michelle is a great host,very helpful and friendly,breakfast was good too,I also got a better room than I booked. -
• Nick (8/5): Comfortable accommodation with a lovely host. - Easy to find with with a very comfortable bedroom. Everything you could need was provided. Nothing comes to mind.
• Panagiotis (1/5): - The person who owns the property was rude immediately. I had to arrive a bit later than check in time because of personal reasons and in the meantime time I had lost my phone which I had the booking app. Also booking.com was asking me for the number from the lost phone to log on, so I couldn't. I tried to call but did not find anything. So after turning up at the door and ringing the bell, she told me off about the time and for waking her up and then would not let me sleep the night, insisting the day had past! After 3 attempts of trying to ask her, I had to leave and did not manage to sleep at all that night as there was a concert and no hotels available at all in the city centre or the areas around Cardiff. Absolutely terrible experience!! If booking had a button for blocking like Facebook has I would have pressed it on this property so I do not have it on search results anymore.
• Riley (10/5): Lovely and welcoming - Very lovely host, showed me around, offered me many things and had a great conversation many times, lovely house and room and I would definitely stay again :)
• Guest (9/5): - The service was amazing. Michelle was so friendly and helpful. She even let me do a load of laundry and cooked my eggs and chips for dinner! She had a great breakfast, and even offered to do takeaway. She was lovely, amazing at hosting, and I'd definitely book again if I'm in Cardiff!
• Pascal (9/5): -
• Janine (10/5): Excellent and will recommend - Very welcoming and friendly. Place was exceptionally clean. Room was comfortable and bed had lovely pillows which meant I had a great sleep. She even offered to make me breakfast at such an early time which was just impeccable. Although it didn't bother me there is a railway nearby so some people may find it harder to sleep. I didn't have an issue.
• Simon (8/5): Great from a point of view of booking on same day. - It was a last minute booking so this lady got me out of jail after a mix up on dates with my original booking. The lady was great with her check in instructions as she was out.
• IAN (7/5): Pleasant stay. I was leaving early so Michelle kindly got some pastries for me. - Prices were kept reasonable when everywhere else hiked them due to a major concert in the City. Plenty of on street parking. Noise from trains although they were infrequent during the night
• Sebastian Fabian (10/5): - Michelle was an amazing host and very caring. I enjoyed the time here a lot. The location is also very good, it's either 15min bus or 30min walk to the city center.
• frank (10/5): - The owner put herself out to look after me she could not have done more will stay again if going to Cardiff A grumpy other guest
• Lithgow (10/5): A heartfelt and peaceful stay hosted by someone who clearly cares—would stay again in a heartbeat. - What made this stay special wasn’t just the room—it was the host. She welcomed me with kindness and made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. The space was clean, quiet, and exactly as described, but it was the genuine hospitality and care she offered that really stood out. You can tell she takes pride in hosting and wants guests to feel comfortable. A rare find in an increasingly impersonal world. Nothing major—if you’re expecting a hotel, this isn’t that. It’s a real home with a lived-in feel, which for me added charm. Suits me better than checking into a sterile box.
• Björn (10/5): - Unglaublich nette Gastgeberin. Frisch zubereitetes Frühstück. Bequemes Bett. Tolle Lage. Echt britisch. Gerne wieder.
• Szekspirek (9/5): - Nice, friendly service, even if you forget something the owner will provide it, I recommend
• Lucas (10/5): - Great breakfast!
• Lynne Davis (9/5): - Michelle is such a warm and generous host
• Ruth (10/5): A home away from home! A must stay when visiting Cardiff! - Upon arrival Michelle was extremely welcoming and made me feel right at home, showing me all of the amenities. Straight away I felt like it was a home away from home where I spent a couple of hours in the kitchen with a brew talking with her and before we knew it time had passed. She makes you feel comfortable and safe within her own home and after showering I returned to my room to find a hot water bottle and grapes to have before I went to sleep. Such a lovely touch! I then had breakfast the next morning and it was FULL OUT! I left after having a traditional Welsh breakie feeling full and ready for the day ahead. She is a COOK!! :) The bed was so comfy and overall I would recommend staying with Michelle so much! Thank you!
• Joanne (10/5): -
• Catalin (10/5): -
• Kate (10/5): - breakfast was great. even though I was leaving early in the morning, I got a little box with some toast and an omelet and filled my thermos with hot tea to take with me. very friendly & welcoming. bed was really cozy.
• Mike (10/5): Hidden Gem - Michelle was fantastic, very friendly. Its walkable from town center which is ideal. absolutely fantastic price for what your getting will be using them again if i need to stay in or around cardiff
• Barbara (1/5): My stay was horrible. The host was not friendly but rather came up as nosy to me. - Nothing The room was absolutely cold. It was freezing . The heating was on for just about 40 mins and was turned off all through the night . When I brought it to her notice she said heating was expensive hence they don’t keep it on all day. And even this morning it was turned off . I requested for a hot water bottle which she gave me, but the I think it was dirty because the cloth over it had a smell. Lastly she kept asking questions such as when will I be leaving the next day . I barely entered my room when she started asking all those questions. It’s almost as though she wanted me gone that very instant. I felt very uncomfortable and regretted I had booked such a place and I told my self I’d endure till morning. I had to keep giving her updates about my departure time as my train got cancelled again in the morning. She told me to communicate that with her Lastly the toilet pot was dirty and it smelled
• muloch (8/5): I be back again - Fabulous location 10 mins by bus to city centre The room was fantastic
• Stephanie (10/5): Cosy stay with super friendly host - Michelle is an absolute star of a host. She was respectful of privacy and personal space, but also very hospital and accommodating (I booked 2 hours before arriving at her door). Lots of recommendations for things to do in the surrounding area. We had some really good chats too, what a bonus! The room was just like the photos :)
• TooReal (9/5): - Accessible location good links to town centre. Clean and hospital accommodation very comfortable.
• Laurence (9/5): Very good value - Fantaxtic breakfast and very friendly. Easy to park. nothing
• Kefyn (10/5): highly recommended - fabulous stay very clean and tidy. Host is very interesting and accommodating lively breakfast to round the stay. would highly recommend nothing at all
• Molly (10/5): Gorgeous cozy, lovely stay in Cardiff - Michelle is a treasure. Absolutely gorgeous place and even better company. Was so fun chatting about Wales and the world. She cooked me up breakfast and gave me a wrap snack to take on my hike which was perfect. She also told me about Traveline Cymru the trip planning app, which really helped improve my bus planning! Best night's sleep in the UK so far.
• Mike (5/5): Maybe not a place I would stay at again unless I had too - Not far from where I needed to be. After driving a long way and arriving after 10pm it was dark. The place was not very well marked, with no sign saying its a guests house or anything and was in a long road that had two parts to it. spent almost 15 minutes trying to find the place. The owner just told me to Google it and was gray door or something and the house number. I'm in a car driving in the dark, somewhere I don't know!! Someone could of been at door to of pointed me if they knew I was outside! I also felt arriving late that person was not happy and told almost to be quite as people now sleeping. almost like not moving around. Breakfast was good and did get offered or something to take with me. just seemed not a very chatting person.
• Eldar (10/5): - Cozy accommodation, helpful host and delicious breakfast
• N (10/5): Affordable place hosted by the lovely owner! - Nice and affordable place to crash when you need it! No problems at all, great prompt communication with the owner that is lovely!!! Easy and quick commute to the centre. Thank you for your hospitality and friendly welcome :) Eliza
• Μπέσης (8/5): -
• Helen (8/5): Very comfortable homestay with a great host :) - I had a really lovely stay with Michelle. She makes you feel very welcome and makes a great effort in making this homestay have everything you need. I really enjoyed our friendly chats over dinner and she made me perfect breakfasts in the mornings 😊 I will happily stay again!
• María Isabel (9/5): -
• Natalia (8/5): No frills, value-for-money stay in a good location - great host. Would stay again! - I booked a last-minute stay, found free parking easily on the road & Michelle was welcoming. She gave me tips for what to see/where to eat in the area & we had a really good chat about our hosting experiences. Good value for money & breakfast included, which was a plus. I would stay again. The garden could do with a little TLC :) The room's window faces a railway line, so be prepared for the noise of passing trains. There's also a boiler in the room, which you will hear turn on & off during the night. None of these things were deal breakers, just things to note.
• Ryuki (8/5): - Cosy room, very welcoming and hospitable host.
• Suzanne (10/5): Great food with a kind owner who knows what's what around town - Breakfast was delicious and the owner of the homestay was very attentive to the dietary needs of the guests. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and the owner was such an amazing person to talk to. If I were to return to Cardiff, I would certainly return here, no question about it.
• Wojciech (10/5): -
• Raymonde (2/5): Not one to be repeated - Location in being near ish centre of Cardiff Just not very nice - sorry but was the worst experience on booking.com - window held open by waste paper bin - unfriendly landlady - accused me of being early and just not a pleasant stay - lucky just for one night
• Romet (8/5): -
• frank (9/5): top quality, would happily stay again (and intend to) - excellent freshly cooked breakfast, this was the icing on the cake. nothing
• Robin (8/5): -
• Grzegorz (7/5): -
• Laila (1/5): Pathetic - Nothing. I have submitted evidence of her unprofessional behaviour in the photos section. The host made my stay unsafe and uncomfortable, leading to panic attacks. My check-in time was scheduled for 14:00 onwards, and I had planned my travel accordingly. However, the host pressured me to check in before 14:00, threatening that I would not be able to collect the keys if I arrived later. She insisted I take a cab to arrive before 14:00, causing me additional expenses to meet her demands. When I explained that arriving before 14:00 was not possible, she responded rudely and tried to intimidate me over the phone. She reluctantly agreed to check me in after I cited Booking.com’s check-in policy. The next morning, she falsely claimed to be a police officer and demanded extra money, alleging that a young person was outside her door the previous night. Unable to tolerate her bullying, I had to call the police for my safety and left the house to check in elsewhere. This experience cost me my peace of mind, affected my health, and ruined my holiday. I also observed that she was much nicer to white guests from Colombia, which led me to believe her behavior was racially motivated.

• Lucas (1/5): - Nothing. My train was cancelled which meant I couldn't check In a 2pm and instead had to wait till 6.30. Which was the same time the gig I was in Cardiff for started. I got lost trying to find the bnb it was so far out of town. I checked in had a shower when I finally got to the venue they wouldn't let me in so I missed that. So I had a couple of drinks in town started heading back th the b and b and was attacked by 2 locals who broke 2 of my ribs and I was treated by 2 paramedics when I got home. So due to what happened and the pain I couldn't find my way back. I got in the bnb at 10. The owner approached me and I tried to explain what has happened. She said she doesn't want to know. Accused me twice of having a women in my room. Told me checkout was at 10.30. Wouldn't even let me use the toilet or brush my teeth. She was just so rude and nasty from the minute I got there. So I quickly grabbed all my stuff and put it all in my bag and picked up the robe not noticing when I did this. Cause I was tired, in pain, shocked and just left. Its covered in paint and got holes in it anyway. I'll send it back to her. But if she hadn't of made me get out in 5 min it wouldn't of happened. The worst person and bnb I've ever been to

• Guest (10/5): -
• Kamran (1/5): - I could not stay there because of rude behaviour of the staff Extremely rude owner of property. Behaved very badly because I came at 630 pm rather 830 pm. She kept on telling me off even though I offered to come later if the room was not ready, but the owner was not ready to listen and kept on teaching me manners and communication ethics. I am a professional and travel a lot, and I have never experienced such an attitude. I have no clue why she was so upset to see me 2 hrs early even though I said I could come back later and apologised for any inconvenience. May I am Asian origin, no idea. House may be clean, but be ready for a bad attitude.
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Pattrous (10/5): Totally recommend it!! - This was the perfect stay. Michelle has a lovely house, the room is comfy and cozy, the bathroom very clean. The location is great, just 15 min bus ride from the center, a lot of restaurants close, the breakfast is home-made perfect to start your day. I wish I could have stayed more days! Totally recommend it!!
• Gentjan (7/5): -
• Uchida (10/5): - Great room and host! Very clean and lovely room, close to the center. It has everything you need. Hosts were courteous in their communication and very flexible. I talked a lot with the host and had a wonderful time. Breakfast was very good. She gave me some small cakes and a lot of information in Cardiff! I would stay here again when I come back to Cardiff!
• Adolfo (10/5): - La anfitriona fue excelente. Atenta en todo momento y con un trato personal muy cercano. Nada me disgustó. Tanto el alojamiento como el trato cumplieron con mis expectativas.
• Chris (10/5): - I felt like I was in a home away from home 😀. I could easily adopt the owner as my new mother 😀
• Brandão Bilalis (9/5): - It’s a quiet place, tide room with a comfortable bed. Michele is very welcoming, gave good touristing tips and the breaks fast was excellent! :)
• Eliška (10/5): A hidden gem of Cardiff with the loveliest host I could have wished for! - The host was absolutely lovely, made me fantastic cooked breakfast every day and gave me plenty of great tips about Cardiff! It was a fantastic experience!
• Mungyo (10/5): - Die Gastgeberin Michelle war super nett und hilfreich. Es war eine ruhige Gegend und das Zimmer war zwar klein, aber für Schlafen hat es vollkommen ausgereicht. Alles sauber und gemeinschaftliche Dusche/Toilette. Gäste waren auch sehr nett und ruhig. Tolles englisches Breakfast bekommen, alles frisch gekocht und tollen Kaffee getrunken! Auch tolle ausländische Restaurants in der Nähe. Sehr authentisch. Zu Fuß 10min, mit Auto 4Min. Kostenlose Parkplätze vor dem Eingang und Umgebung vorhanden. Auf jeden Fall gibt sie auch Tipps für Reisen für Wales und Umgebung. Ein schönes kleines Hostel mit toller Gastfreundschaft.
• Martin (10/5): 10/10 for service - Great service from the woman who called straight away and looked after my worker. He said the breakfast was great and bed was comfy and that’s all one can ask for. I would definitely book for my staff again when there in cardiff area
• Patrick Daniel (8/5): -
• Wolfgang (9/5): Gemütliches Zimmer in einem privaten Wohnhaus - Eine sehr private Unterkunft in einer ruhigen Wohngegend von Cardiff. Zu Fuß in die Innenstadt ca. 30 min. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr warmherzig, hilfsbereit und am Wohlergehen des Gastes interessiert. Das britische Frühstück wird genau nach den Wünschen des Gastes zubereitet. Ich habe mich dort sehr wohl gefühlt.

• Jyrki (9/5): - Very kind and friendly landlady. Confortable bed and good room. Very good and tasty breakfast. Excellent homestay. Eveeything was just fine so there was nothing to complain.
• Joshua (10/5): Exceptionally comfortable stay! - Michelle was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to make my stay in Cardiff enjoyable and stress-free. The place, though a little on the old and worn side, was very clean and comfortable (luxurious bed and pillows). Thanks so much Michelle! I have not rated the location the highest, as it is a decent walk to the city centre and in a neighborhood that feels a bit rough, in addition to backing onto the railway lines.
• Helen (10/5): It exceeded my expectations, a really lovely place to stay in. - Excellent full English Vegetarian Breakfast, well cooked tasty breakfast with plenty of choice. very friendly host, make you feel at home and nothing is any trouble, very helpful. I found I instantly felt relaxed as I walked into this property. Plenty of parking for cars. Loads of lovely touches around the home. N/A
