Pros:

Everything in general is very good!

Cons:

The shower is fixed on the ceiling, so it is not very convenient. The bathroom light turns off automatically every 1-2 minutes even when showering...(I have to open the shower door again and again to activate it) But they are not big problems.

I know where I will stay in Cardiff the next time
Pros:

The location was the main reason I chose the place, but the next time I will be there for the amenities and the quality. It was beyond expectations.

Pros:

Établissement très correct, propre et bien équipé. Bonne literie

Cons:

Insonorisation nulle. Nous n'avons pas su dormir à cause des locataires qui occupaient le studio à l'étage au-dessus de nous. Bruits tout au long de la nuit !
