The hostel was a cozy place with clean and spacious rooms that felt just like a hotel, although you needed to bring your own toiletries and towels. The heating was fabulous, especially on a cold January weekend. The service was top-notch, from reception to kitchen staff, making it a hidden gem. However, the location was a bit further from the station than expected, in an industrial area with limited amenities nearby. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a variety of options but with limited serving hours.

The hotel has a convenient location within walking distance of the city center and the bay area, offering a bit of tranquility. The rooms were extremely dark for four people sharing but come at a cheap price, making it brilliant value for money. The service was friendly overall, with great facilities; however, there were issues with the kitchen cleaning and unnecessary attempts to overcharge for the booking. The dining experience was surprisingly tasty and well-cooked, with reasonable prices. The location may seem dreary but is within walking distance of everything, balancing out its value for money.

The hotel is not as centrally located as we had hoped, but the whole property and team were fantastic, making our stay brilliant. Booking a room at the front of the building is advisable for light sleepers. The lady on reception was friendly and allowed an early check-in, which we appreciated. However, some noise incidents required immediate action from the helpful and friendly staff. The room was clean as expected, but it was a bit cold initially, despite the heating working; having some heating on by default during winter would have been sensible.

The hotel boasts spacious and clean rooms with great amenities like the YHA restaurant, bar, and self-catering options. The bathroom is impressive, and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. The service, led by Carly, was very friendly and helpful, although marred by a rude receptionist. The location is decent, a mere 10-minute walk to the center of Cardiff, albeit in a somewhat run-down commercial area. Dining options are varied and decent, with a few minor flaws. The facilities are top-notch, catering to guests' needs effectively.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, while a bit dark, were very clean and comfortable, making it easy to relax during my stay. The breakfast was a standout feature, offering a brilliant start to the day. The location was a bit further from the station than expected, but it's only a short walk to the city center. The dining experience was good value for money, with a variety of choices available. The service was superb, with helpful staff offering directions and even packed lunches for the next day.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were equipped with excellent facilities and the beds were super comfy, but the bathroom could use privacy glass for more seclusion. The service was prompt and friendly, making my stay enjoyable. However, the location required a 15-minute walk to reach the city center, which was a bit inconvenient. The dining options were good overall, but the coffee could have been better. The facilities were clean and trendy, offering a pleasant atmosphere.
