This is a fantastic place, so personal I love it and I would definitely go back.
I love the garden downstairs for a bit of a excape from the room, I it's close to every thing and affordable.
It made the trip as we were visiting Wales for the first time.
Thank you.

I like how close to the central Cardiff it was, but not in. The water made a nice divide. A very walkable location and it was very clean apartment. The only issue was someone burning a fire near by every night and the smoke and smell came in the room, it was fight between staying cool or smelling smoke. Over all a good stay.

Really modern, lovely room, great location. I saw quite a few short white hairs on the bed runner and both cutlery and cups were not particularly clean. A little more attention to this would have made the stay great.

Lovely cosy stay
Ideally located just a 10 minute walk from Cardiff Central train station. Received a video before my arrival explaining access which made it so easy! My room was a decent size with an equipped kitchenette. Very clean. Modern furnishings and decor. Comfy bed, large TV with streaming services. Bathroom with a shower was very clean. Towels changed and rubbish taken away after my 2nd night. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and the hosts were easy to contact for any queries. My only slight negative was the light in the small hallway which only turned off when I shut the main door to the bedroom & kitchenette. There was no switch to turn it off myself. I prefer to leave the door ajar. This was a minor thing as overall I loved this place and will definitely book again on my next trip to Cardiff!

Fabulous! Just the way we like it!

This was the best hotel stay I’ve had in the UK. Close to the train station. Lots of things nearby. The rooms are very neat and I could not find a single fault.

Great central location.
The central location of this property was absolutely ideal for our stay. The room had everything needed to be self sufficient and meant that we didn’t have to eat out every evening.
A very secure, very well presented property and we would stay here again.
Our only gripe was the parking. Pay and display all day (except Sunday) and quite difficult to park Fri/Sat evenings.

Everything was absolutely incredible about this stay! Even the tiny little details like the coffee, the washing up liquid to the mini iron! I loved it so much, I will be back!
