Excellent Hostel with plenty of little perks. Lovely breakfast, lovely dining room. Very willing and wonderful staff. The rooms are a little small but no matter if you\'re out all day. Excellent TV room too, great DVD\'s perfect for a quiet night in.

This is easily the best hostel we've ever stayed at. The owners are incredibly nice and helpful, the location is great, the rooms and the toilets are spotless, and it just has a great vibe to it. Would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to Cardiff.

The place is great if you're looking for something quiet. There are very strict rules - ended up going to the hostel across the road for a drink. Fantastic location, just across the river from the city centre and about 5mins walk from the main bus/train terminal. Beware the washing machine! It costs a minimum of 3 pounds and they only have one clothes dryer for the whole hostel.
