 amnesia79204 from England stayed here on 10th March 2010
Hosts were absolutely awesome, not a prob. Only 2 points to make; our room was on the ground floor and if anyone used the toilet outside the room you heard the door shut and it might sound ridiculous but the tap was noisy when turned on and off. Both could probably be sorted with a bit of lubricant. Otherwise no problems.

Impeccable in all senses. More like staying with friends than at a hostel. Definitiely putting the "host" into hostel, well worth the price.

LOVED this hostel!! Only problems I had were that there wasn't a dryer to go along with the washing machine, and that there should be trays in the showers to hold soap and stuff. All in all, very fun and very clean. Definitely staying again!

I was most impressed with this hostel, not only is it minutes walking distance from either Cardiff Central Train Station and the bus station but nicely located. This hostel was extremely clean, friendly, safe and the breakfast....fantastic! it is a cosy, quiet hostel,not recommended for the party type. I felt very welcome and the common areas are very cosy also. Highly recommed to any single or group traveller looking for this type of accommodation.

Absolutely amazing! This was the best hostel I've ever stayed in. I only wish I could have stayed longer. It's so clean, comfortable and friendly! I felt like I was relaxing in my living room at home in the lounge, and I met so many great people. They also had a special pizza, pasta and cookie night when I was there that was so nice. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone!
