Liked: This was hands down the BEST hostel I've ever stayed in (and I've been traveling and living in hostels for 5 weeks now). The staff were incredibly friendly, and it had a first class breakfast. This place had all the little things that other hostels don't have, making this one simply the best. If ever I return to Cardiff, I will most definitely be staying here again.

Liked: Great location (walking distance to train station, city centre). Family-run establishment - owners were friendly, helpful without being intrusive. Very warm atmosphere. Rooms were basic, mattresses (bunkbeds) thin, but adequate and clean. Toilets/showers are all shared, but spacious, modern and very clean. Continental breakfast (included) was a generous spread of toast,pastries,yoghurt,cereal etc. Would definitely go back again
