This was my second stay at the hostel. It's one of the nicest I have ever been to: Very friendly staff, very clean, just across the bridge from the city centre and train/coach/bus station (max. 5min walking) and the breakfast is better than in a hotel! Lovely home away from home :-)This was my second stay at the hostel.

An outstanding hostel- worth going to Cardiff just to enjoy the hostel! The staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful, even though I had accidently booked the wrong date they went out of their way to accommodate us. They even printed out a restaurant voucher for us to use. Excellent hostel.An outstanding hostel- worth going to Cardiff just to enjoy the hostel!
