8/10 Very good

This is a very reasonable and nice place to stay for the price. Upon arrival, I was confused about which property I would be staying in, but after opening the doors and reading the signs posted inside, it’s very straightforward. The woman next to me did not have a code for her room and struggled to reach anyone at ~9pm, so, if you’re reading this, make sure you have your code ahead of time. The rooms are small and quaint. The only two complaints I had were that the bed was extremely uncomfortable, and that there is a shower in the room, but no toilet. The second point is mostly a mild inconvenience, but the bad part is that, because the flooring in the room is carpeted, it leaves a bit of a wet smell which goes away after a few hours but still leaves me feeling as if there may be a mold issue under the carpet. Despite these issues, I had a nice time and found it well worth the price. Diolch!

Get the en-suite/extras room
Having the option of this room made my life so much easier, plus the location… the only reason I took off a star was because of the bed, they need to change the bases round as the one at the top of the bed was broken, which didn’t really help my sciatica, but apart from that, would definitely come back!

Very good location - walkable to the city center. The room is good, clean, and spacious. There's no parking available. You have to park in a metered street parking.

8/10 Very good

A short walk from the train station and close to the park, the location was ideal. The room was a little run down but everything was clean. The shared toilet was not as clean, but was ok, not that close to the room. The check in was easy - useful that you can arrive or leave at anytime. It is good value and practical overall. I didn't see any staff but everything went smoothly.

6/10 Good

Room was conveniently located for Principality, and infact overlooked it. Self check in instructions were accurate. Room itself, the bed was comfy. However my biggest issue was not having any contact number to deal with an issue I had, namely no power to kettle, hairdryer or TV. If you do self check in then you need to provide contact details for any out of hours issues. Hence only providing 3 stars.

Excellent location, comfortable beds, plenty of pillows. I would have loved some seating area, but we were using the accommodations for sleep mostly, so we socialized outside of the rooms.
