This is the second time we have stayed here. The location is perfect for the principality stadium and exploring the city. Room has a little kitchenette with small fridge/ freezer so great for cooking snacks. Bathroom has a great shower. When we had an issue with the electricity sockets the owner came and fixed the fuse box straight away. Virtual check in is great system and made me smile each time the door greeted me with my name. Have recommended to friends and family.

Great location, comfortable bed and nice hot shower. The kitchen and fridge are a bonus. Having to pay for parking is something we're not used to but a necessary evil in a big city. Always able to find a spot and the app was easy to use. Our biggest issue was so many narrow stairs but only because we're old and had heavy luggage lol. Would definitely stay here again.

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!

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.
