A pretty boring hostel in all areas. Nothing special. Beds are totally crap. The common room & kitchen are good. There's a tv, cheap internet, pool table etc. About a 15 minute walk from bus/train station.

This is a great hostel to visit. It harbors an environment for discussion between visitors. Have a drink at their bar (affodable prices) or chill out and watch a movie on their comfy couch. Saff was great and very nice.

Really good hostel. If you haven't bought a guidebook or dont know what to do in Cardiff, don't worry the hostel and staff provide enough infromation and phamphlets etc.

Easily the best hostel I've been to in Britain, with the best and most helpful staff I've come across so far. The prices in the bar downstairs were great, everything was always clean... would definitely recommend to anyone.

free internet if you bring your laptop; kitchens were clean, but the bathrooms smelt like the drain and it didn't seem like they got cleaned very well

there are no locks on the room doors, which can be annoying. some of the rooms are a little messy too, and the bathrooms are inconvenient. but the staff are awesome, really fun, and knowledgable

The noise from my room was unbearable. Think it was coming from the radiator or the pipes. Would have hated staying there sober. Had to move and kip on the floor in another room at 5.15AM.

Hostel was clean and in good location.Staff seemed friendly. If they say they are having a DJ night the night you are staying...run away or ask for a room FAR away as possible from the bar as you can hear EVERYTHING and the music sounds like it is IN your room..no sleep is inevitable.
