I had a really bad customer experience here and I will at all costs. The ‘team leader’ on site was a bit of a bully and aggressive. I will not be returning.

Great bargain!
For the price of about £10 a night, my 5 days went very well. Not too loud, bathroom in room and plug sockets at my bed. Will stay again and have recommended to friends.

I cancelled with plenty of notice and was refused option to move dates or refund my costs. Not very helpful or understanding. I had a sick relative that could not attend so we wanted to move dates. Awful customer service

This is a great Youth hostel. It is a short fifteen minute walk to the centre of Cardiff, we stayed there for a gig at Motor point Arena, Taxi back was just £5.00. Breakfast was really good hot and plentiful, Overall fantastic value for money. We were in a double room with En suite which was great bed comfy. Options of cooking your own food or restaurant great idea. Communal area to sit and enjoy a coffee. Brilliant cheap weekend away.
