Very convenient location for attending an event at the Utilita arena. Regarding cleanliness there were some issues:-the carpets in the room and hallways are dirty, very worn chair in my room, dirt on wall and very dark stains on duvet and mattress protector that can be seen through the sheets. The bathroom facilities all looked very clean. Overall it’s a nice guesthouse. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0556f63d-4640-4ca2-aff6-c7289cbf8a53-1764606151296.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 18 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness #### Well run budget guest house near city Great guest house if you're on a budget.

Despite initial problems gaining an access code, I had a pleasant stay in a simple, no nonsense room with all that was needed. Central location is excellent. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John 26 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location ##### John Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Spacious room and very comfy beds ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katherina 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Could be better The staff and especially Kenan were always helpful and very friendly on the phone. The rooms are clean but the partitions between rooms as so thin that in the rooms with shared bathrooms, in one of the accommodations, everything that happens in the next room can be heard. ##### Katherina Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fab place Simple room but did the job. Convenient location and easy to check in and out ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great apartment when made up for two rooms Stayed here for Oasis opening night so it was much more expensive than usual - wasn't everything! Super close to the stadium. Very clean. Didn't get the pre-arrival email but called the emergency line at the front door and was given the codes - really nice chap on customer service who was really helpful. Was expecting a two room apartment so he immediately sent someone over to make up the double sofa bed in the lounge. Has everything you need. Would use again if going to Principality Stadium. ##### Wendy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great value for money We were so happy with our accommodation. It was perfectly located within walking distance to the coach station and castle, as well as the main shopping precinct. Our family room was gigantic and massive value for money. ##### Rebecca Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sion 19 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Comfortable but needlessly cold! Comfortable room, as usual, except that the radiator didn’t work and there was no other form of heating on a very cold night! ##### Sion Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rukayat 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cardiff Location and price wise it was good. The WiFi didn’t reach in the room and it had a damp smell. The choice of room was comfy and it had what you needed. Overall the stay was good. ##### Rukayat Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy 11 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central, cost effective! It's very reasonably priced and in a perfect central location. Central enough to walk around but not on the main street, so a quiet night sleep is guaranteed! Only downside is the slightly off smell of the carpets/exterior (a couple of plug in air freshners would make a huge difference!) will happily stay again! ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geneliza 11 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Very good location - walkable to the city center. The room is good, clean, and spacious. There's no parking available. You have to park in a metered street parking. ##### Geneliza Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Get the en-suite/extras room Having the option of this room made my life so much easier, plus the location… the only reason I took off a star was because of the bed, they need to change the bases round as the one at the top of the bed was broken, which didn’t really help my sciatica, but apart from that, would definitely come back! ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa 19 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Walking distance to town and felt safe ,room needs decorating and shower head wouldn't stay up on required hight,Devan base was dirty and frayed ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Martin 21 Oct 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Room was as expected and bed comfortable but the window leaked onto the bed and the shower was mouldy. ##### Martin Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Penelope 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities A short walk from the train station and close to the park, the location was ideal. The room was a little run down but everything was clean. The shared toilet was not as clean, but was ok, not that close to the room. The check in was easy - useful that you can arrive or leave at anytime. It is good value and practical overall. I didn't see any staff but everything went smoothly. ##### Penelope Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Aline 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good bed to rest and clean towels If you até booked on Austins 2 be aware that there are no kitchen facilities. There is onde bathroom tô ne shared with at least 10 rooms which can be sometimes busy. Otherwise, Thais self check in accomodatiom was clean and confortable to stay 1 or 2 days If you stay all day out. There are no kitchen facilities. ##### Aline Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 13 Nov 2023 Liked: Staff & service #### A cheap night’s stay, nothing more Pros: good location, close to the station and easy to get to. Very clear check in instructions. Cheap price and decent cleanliness. Comes with tea making facilities. There’s heating in the room. Cons: small room, none of the sockets in my room worked (so couldn’t make tea even though a kettle was provided). Bad soundproofing - could hear upstairs watching something till well past midnight! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexis 26 Jun 2024 Liked: Room comfort Room was conveniently located for Principality, and infact overlooked it. Self check in instructions were accurate. Room itself, the bed was comfy. However my biggest issue was not having any contact number to deal with an issue I had, namely no power to kettle, hairdryer or TV. If you do self check in then you need to provide contact details for any out of hours issues. Hence only providing 3 stars. ##### Alexis Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron 15 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Excellent ##### Ron Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron 10 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place ##### Ron Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne 27 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay perfect for our needs,will definitely book again. ##### Joanne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson Blu Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Cardiff.h2609745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Angel Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Angel-Hotel.h34843.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cardiff.h4254642.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Cardiff City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Cardiff-City-Centre.h802589.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Cardiff Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Novotel-Cardiff-Centre.h571649.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hilton-Cardiff.h551874.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Cardiff.h68218398.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Cardiff.h1240563.Hotel-Information) > > [easyHotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-EasyHotel-Cardiff.h60826545.Hotel-Information) > > [Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Cwrt-Bleddyn-Hotel-Spa.h486291.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Four-Points-Flex-By-Sheraton-Cardiff.h2256209.Hotel-Information) > > [Lanelay Hall Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Lanelay-Hall-Hotel-Spa.h19385738.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Parkway-Hotel-Spa.h10704.Hotel-Information) > > [Llechwen Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Llechwen-Hall-Hotel.h4035488.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Cardiff.h876498.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Cardiff.h18575463.Hotel-Information) > > [New House Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-New-House-Country-Hotel.h27938.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Cardiff.h200304.Hotel-Information) > > [Future Inns Cardiff Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Future-Inns-Cardiff-Bay.h1160305.Hotel-Information) > > [voco St David's Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Voco-St-Davids-Cardiff.h545633.Hotel-Information) > > [Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Coldra-Court-Hotel-By-Celtic-Manor.h542557.Hotel-Information) > > [The Priory Hotel and Restaurant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Priory-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h17828361.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Cardiff.h1291503.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Cardiff North Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Mercure-Cardiff-North-Hotel.h20256.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Pontypool Metro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Best-Western-Pontypool-Metro-Hotel.h6407832.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardiff Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-Marriott-Hotel.h13776.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Cardiff City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cardiff-City-Centre.h526111.Hotel-Information) > > [Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holland-House-Hotel-Cardiff-By-Sunday.h1000753.Hotel-Information) ---
