Great for visit to Cardiff
Good location and under a 25min walk into the city centra.
Roomy one bed apartment with good sized rooms throughout.
Safe environment within a gated community with security on site.
Affordable and secure parking.
Room heating was too hot; controls not very responsive - please check! Also, bathroom towel rail though it carried a warming notice is far too hot!

We had a great stay. The only thing we found a little difficult was trying to find the building within the complex as there are so many. Otherwise parking was close by, good selection of shops and places to eat near by. It’s a very quiet area.

It was OK, but very disappointed. - Started with poor directions, Reception staff did not even know how to direct me to the room or parking, very run down interior - needs pait and update. Not even close to 4 Star I searched for. View is of the next building 50 ft away - not the river or cityscape. Balcony was covered in dirt and moss, not useable. We booked 2 nights and left after one night. Not a fun place to stay, dark industrial area. It's a place to stay if you really need a place.

Bring warm clothes
The space was nice but we were not given a fob to get around the complex. We got lucky getting in and out of the parking area and complex itself. We did eventually speak to the concierge office who contacted urban space for us so we could get one. The other issue we had was that there was very little heating in the flat. The wall panel for the heating in the main room was broken and the hall way heating unit would say it was turned up to 26 but the floor did not feel warm. We were told it was underfloor heating but to be honest it felt like no heating. Otherwise it was a nice place and good walking distance to the mermaid quary.

Truly awful experience
We booked 3 separate apartments for two nights. All three apartments unfortunately had issues.
The first had a leak beneath the bathroom floor tiles and a shower that was constantly dripping. We called maintenance but this was not fixed during our stay.
Apartment 2 had the entire front of the tub coming loose (photo attached).
Unfortunately the worst by far was apartment 3 which had actual mold growing on the toilet seat when we arrived (picture attached). I will note that they did move us to another unit but this was certainly not the way to start a vacation.
After all of these issues, it took over a month to receive a refund for one prepaid night which we had cancelled (well in advance of our stay mind you). We had been told that the refund would be issued as soon as we checked out - but after more than six emails asking for an update it was finally issued a month later - with a £15 service fee taken out.
Overall the property is run down and dated. It has the feeling of a low budget college dorm. I would not recommend. I

Good but parking communication was poor
My partner had a good stay in that were close to the city and had all the facilities that we needed.
The downside was that we had paid for a permit to park in the car park. However, we were not given the permit on arrival. We called and were told someone would be in touch and drop it off the following day. No one was in touch. It wasn’t nice worrying whether we were going to get a parking ticket during our two day stay. Luckily this wasn’t the case.

The apartment was very clean and tidy in a nice area. About 15 minutes walk from Cardiff Bay, and 20 minutes from the city. Half a mile from Cardiff Bay station with good train links to various places.
We had couple of issues when we arrived but they were sorted out quickly by helpful staff.
It was a shame we didn't have a view from the balcony but we were on the ground floor.
More cutlery and crockery would be useful, especially as there is a dishwasher in the apartment ( two teaspoons is a bit limited.)
Overall it was a pleasant stay
