Great location to central Cardiff and a nice bar downstairs, but that's all this place has going for it. Staff were extremely unhelpful and unfriendly. When we complained that the room was cold at night (it must have been about 5°) we were told to "get used to the British summer". When we asked about car parking we were told,... More

Stayed here for a stag. We were greeted by a Allan Carr lookalike who can only be describe as a miserable git. With his strict no food or drink policy and constant bag searches! We all shared one room between 15 of us, which had two toilets and showers. It was clean and tidy, and kept clean by the cleaners.... More

This place looks quite funky but staff are unfriendly and miserable and the manager was very rude to a group of us who went in for a few quiet drinks.We were asked to leave-we had only had a few drinks - maybe we werent 'cool' enough! The bouncer was really nice and couldnt apologise enough for his managers attitude..I would... More

i booked the bunkhouse after reading reviews and having a recommendation that the bar was delightful. i arrived first and was given a mediocre welcome, making my way to the room, my nasal passages were greeted by a strong damp odour whilst walking up the stairs via the faded and very well trodden carpet, entering the room things did not...

In the first instance I have to admit that i am not a seasoned veteran when it comes to Hostels so you will have to temper my views accordingly. The place is clean and tidy, reasonable shower facilities too, nowhere near enough toilets for the amount of people staying though. If you want to lie down somewhere and stay awake... More

Was brought here by a friend last year and absolutely loved it. The decor is beautiful and so different from anything else around. Such a cute little establishment right in the middle of the city. Have been back a few times and would recommend to anyone visiting Cardiff.

The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable , location is ideal for all the city's attractions, I would say that if you are... More

Good experience all round. You more or less get what you pay for. Big and noisy dorm room, and only one of the showers worked, but great location in the centre of the city and did the job. Cool bar area downstairs, and loved the free pc hire.

Where do i start? On arrival we are met by a pitbull-like manager who was extremely agressive and he didn't even have the decency to greet us appropiately. After the standard check-in process he demanded that he searched our bags! surely a breach of our own privacy. The agressive man emptied all my belongings onto the table on the quest... More

I would strongly advise anyone staying in Cardiff not to stay here. Although the hostel is situated in a good location that is as far as it goes for its positives. As I rang the doorbell to be allowed in I was holding a 6 inch subway sandwich, however when I was greeted I was told I had to wait... More
