Spacious room comfortable enough, location excellent and had a great time .
Pros:

Location is excellent. Rooms are dated but perfectly practical and very clean.

Cons:

Only one pillow per person so will definitely bring extra next time and there’s no lift so getting luggage up all the stairs was an experience 🙈

Pros:

Economical spartan stay. Good value for money. Great location right in the heart of the city centre.

Cons:

Should let the occupants know upfront that there is no wifi and that one would have to climb 4 floors to get to the room. Absence of a lift should be made very clear. The paint on the walls is flaking. Could do with a functional wardrobe for hanging clothes.

Great stay. Lots to do in Cardiff. Only used room to sleep in.
Pros:

Great location for getting around Cardiff. Basic room, which was expected due to price paid for August stay. No frills. It was quiet even though we were in the heart of the city.

Cons:

Lots of steep stairs to get to our room. Parking offer had stopped due to liquidation of NCP. Parking in Cardiff is very expensive.

Pros:

La posizione centralissima è I servizi minimi da prima colazione inclusi. Sconto del 10% ristorante sotto.

Cons:

Ci vorrebbe un ascensore e un pò di manutenzione nelle scale. Nel corridoio si sente puzza di spezie e cucine dato dal kebabbaro giù.
