Breakfast was relatively simple. Nothing hot (besides drinks), but for the price I really can't argue. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Room was fine, shower facilities were very good and the bar was very nice. Easy to find. I would say the Bunkhouse is cheap and cheerful. I really couldn't ask for more based on the proce.

The atmosphere was phenomenal. The reception area and the bar have such great character that I'd recommend this hostel just for a chill and unique hangout. The bathrooms were clean, as were the rooms and the staff was top-notch. They were all very kind and very helpful.

Clean, friendly environment in an ideal location. Only complaint is that check-in took way too long.

It was, by far, the best hostel in our entire trip. Even though there were 25 beds in our room, the staff was REALLY nice with us (we arrived one day earlier than expected and we were able to get a room there, even though we got there in the middle of the night, where they weren't supposed to check in people anymore). There are a lot of places to relax, to chat and to eat.

In the city center, next to the castle, restaurants and almost everything in the small Cardiff. Staff wasn't the smartest I've seen in my life but ok. 6 bed rooms are really small and the bathroom in the corridor was basically for 1 person. Anyway I would stay there again.

Showers had doors that could be seen through so I was not comfortable when showering - very strange. Pillows were appalling - may as well not had any.

Best hostel I have ever stayed in! Very cozy, cute, and pinterest-worthy! Also very VERY clean! At one point I saw the cleaning staff using bleach and an actual toothbrush on the floors and corners of the bathroom. Very happy, and plan to return soon!

Mixed feelings about this one. It was a great location, very clean but my experience wasn't great. I was in the female only dorm, at 2AM some drunk guy comes in (I don't know how he did, we have keycards for the rooms?) pees on the radiator, then tries to climb into my bed, when he realized I was there he apologized and fell asleep in another bed. When we got the staff we got rid of him, but I'm not impressed that it happened. My other complaint is that the showers were SCALDING.

The entrance hall which is a bar impressed me a lot because it creates a really welcoming atmosphere. The room (6 beds, mixed) was just normal. What was missing were individual lamps near the beds and the heater should have been explained to us whicle checking in. But if you are generally used to hostel sleeping it is a quite nice one. The central location is hardly beatable!

The Place was nice and buzzing with activity . Location is fantastic within walking distance from Cardiff castle , millennium stadium and cardiff central train station. The complimentary breakfast was nice . Drinks were bit costly but the 10% discount for guests was a saviour. Bar area was quite happening.

This is one of the best hostels I have stayed in, certainly in Britain. Hostels are simple, affordable and friendly, and a great way to meet people you would never normally meet. If I'm travelling alone, they are a much more preferable choice to the relative isolation of staying in a hotel.

This Hostel was amazing, everything u could possibly require as a traveller. Everything was clean and well maintained coupled with a location smack bang in the middle of Cardiff makes the place next to perfect. Will definitely be back

The rooms are not spetacular and the showers were terrible. I could not figure out how to make the water flow constantly, instead it was similar to a faucet in a public toilet where you push the buttom and get water for a few seconds. It was cold water as well. The common areas were beautiful though, and the staff very helpful.

I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone. The rooms were very clean and quite spacious. Bathrooms very clean also. Every door can only be opened with a security card so this too is good. The common area downstairs is beautiful and a really cool place to hang out and have drinks from their full bar. Coffee is also amazing. Good WIFI services. The location is incredible right on a busy street surrounded by bars, clubs and restaurants. Give this place a 5/5. STAY HERE!!!!
