Guest Reviews
- Babalola (7/5): Great service, a slightly cleaner room would’ve been good - Very spacious room, shower was great, bed was ok. Kitchen facilities were really good, tea and coffee were available near the front desk for free (with a coffee machine for more fancy coffee at a small sum). Overall quite good. Easy to access and staff were helpful There was hair. Everywhere. Small curls everywhere. A clean with a lint roller would’ve been good. Glad I travelled with my own pillow cases because I had to remove theirs as there were hairs on the bed and pillows. This was the only problem I had with the room.
I was also told the day before I was due to arrive that my booking was getting cancelled because I hadn’t submitted the right information on time, even though I had. Called them up and got everything sorted. Not sure why they were so quick to try to cancel my booking with their system error, but alas all was well.
- Fatma (1/5): Disappointing Experience! - Nothing! I had a very disappointing experience with this property. Although I submitted all the required student documents almost two weeks before my arrival, the property delayed reviewing them until the last minute. On the day before check-in, I was suddenly told that my documents were “incomplete".
Despite providing official proof of enrolment from my university and resending documents multiple times, I was informed just hours before check-in that my booking might be cancelled. Eventually, when I arrived at the property, I was told that my name was not on the accepted list, and I was refused entry.
To make matters worse, I even received “check-out instructions” directly from the property a day before I was supposed to check - out, which shows how poorly the process was managed.
The handling of the process was disorganised and unprofessional, causing me to waste valuable time during my short stay in Cardiff. I ended up having to find another accommodation at the last minute.
I do not recommend this property to anyone expecting clear communication, reliability, and respect for guests’ time.

- stéphanie (1/5): Pas d’accueil,pas de compétences ni d’implication du personnel - L’accueil. Laisser deux personnes jeunes, le soir, sans logement, alors que le séjour a été payé intégralement en carte bancaire et le Check-in fait dans les règles.

- Felipe (7/5): Good - The room was a bit dirty. The shower never fully drained, and it drained very slowly. I would have to turn off the water for a few minutes mid-shower to make sure it didn't overflow into the rest of the bathroom. The system for checking in and checking that you are a student is a hot mess and more stressful than it needs to be. Otherwise, lovely room, lovely location, good for the price.
- Carren (10/5): Exceptional - I had a great overall experience. Location-wise, it’s in a convenient spot, not far from the city centre.
- Joann (10/5): Enjoyed my stay and I wouldn’t mind coming back here once I get a chance to visit again - It was a great place to stay. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and had everything I needed, including a kitchenette and strong WiFi. I appreciated the 24/7 front desk and the games room was a nice bonus. It’s in a really convenient spot—close to the university, the city center, and public transport. The building felt safe and quiet, which made it easy to relax. Overall, a solid experience. NA
- Sue (7/5): Good -
- Becca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Megan (10/5): Exceptional - Room was well equipped with everything needed for a short stay.
- Kohana (8/5): It was a very nice and clean place, and the staff was helpful. Would recommend it to others. - The room was very spacious. And I liked the fact that kitchen utensils and cutlery, bedding, towels and tissue roles were provided. I wasn't allowed to book or use facilities like dining room and study space.
- Robyn (8/5): Very good -
- Swapna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pluviofil (8/5): Very good -
- Praveen (9/5): Superb -
- Florence (9/5): Superb - I like the way everything was prepared and clean, I have pots to cook and plates to eat. That's important and it was provided but I didn't take them a long😄
- Charan (9/5): Superb -
- Kg (5/5): Great room. Terrible staff - Nice spacious room with great facilities. Good location. It's a shame nobody had cleaned the room before I got there otherwise I'd be able to praise it a bit more. Most of the staff were rude to me and were incredibly unhelpful. My room was covered in all these tufts of human hair for some reason and my room card didn't work. The staff refused to give me one that worked until a different professional one I hadn't dealt with yet gave me a card 4 days in. The staff also refused to give me a broom to clean all the hair away or send a custodian over to clean the room. The custodian that showed up 4 days in then lectured me for 5 minutes for not asking the staff to send him over sooner so...
