Pros:

La ubicación del lugar es muy buena. En plena calle principal peatonal del centro, muy cerca caminando de todos los sitios de mayor interés. Además la habitación es grande y cómoda. El proceso de check in bastante fácil. Es un sitio en el cual para una escapada a Cardiff vale la pena

Cons:

La ducha no funcionaba el agua caliente. Intente de mil formas y no funcionó. Algo a tomar en cuenta

A good budget hotel.
Pros:

The location was excellent, clise to thd train station with plenty of places to eat and shop nearly

Cons:

Some of the furniture drawers were slightly damaged when I arrived, but still had enough usable drawers etc, and the sink tap was hard to turn off completely.
Overall the room was in good enough shape for an inexpensive hotel.

Pros:

Ubytování opravdu vhodné na přespání a hygienu. Například po koncertě super.

Cons:

Není nic,co by vás na pokoji drželo déle,než je nutné. Raději procházku,nebo výlet.

Buon rapporto qualità prezzo
Pros:

La posizione é centrale molto comoda per visitare tutta la città a piedi. Stanze ampie e luminose. Se non si hanno troppo pretese é ottimo per qualche notte.

Cons:

In generale la struttura è molto trasandata, non sporca ma una maggiore cura renderebbe l’esperienza migliore. In una delle stanze che avevamo prenotato c’erano parecchi spifferi alle finestre che facevano inevitabilmente entrare molto freddo.
