Liked: Great location - really close to the city center but on a quiet street by the river. Friendly staff & good atmosphere
Disliked: Kitchen was limited (microwave only) and bar downstairs noisy - but was expected so no problem.

Liked: es gab auch 2er zimmer. service war gut, nette leute arbeiten hier, "eigene" kueche, wo man auch essen lagern konnte und somit geld sparen kann. gute atmosphaere, nette tv-lounge.
Disliked: der putzdienst hat extrem lange gedauert. aufgrund von nur geringer kuechenausstattung im restaurantbereich dauerte die essenslieferung etwas lange, dafuer war's aber sehr lecker.

Liked: Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great bar. Excellent breakfast featuring fresh fruit! Staying here made my trip to Wales all the more enjoyable!
Disliked: The rooms were pretty warm (but it was unexpectedly hot during my stay) and the bathroom/shower room was like a sauna if a shower was being used.

Liked: It was a lovely hostel, very close to everything - town centre, nightlife, food and cinema all literally 5minutes walk up the road. Very easy to find by car, good parking facilities, showers could have been cleaned more often, as with the rooms, but generally great! Beds were really comfortable, great lounge area with big tv and hammock which we loved and free wireless internet which was very handy - great but simple free breakfast!

Liked: NosDa Studio Hostel was one of the greatest hostels I have ever stayed in! Already the first impression was amazing, nice chill-out zone, comfortable beds, spacious rooms and especially more than friendly staff! They always helped me with my problems and showed a lot of patience. Breakfast was also fantastic, they even offered fruits! I would definitely recommend the hostel as it is fun and pretty clean (maybe they could have cleaned the floors more often).

Customer review
13 March 2010
Liked: It's an okay place if all you want to do is sleep and don't mind the higher prices. It's not really a hostel in the sense of having a youthful backpacker's atmosphere. It's more like a budget hotel with dorm rooms added. It has a bar but open to the public and has very few younger travelers there, so it's exactly the same as going to some local Cardiff pub as it does get used by locals. There is a gym but naturally you have to pay for it.
Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
