Superb studio apartment, absolutely immaculate. Great TV (all the channels and streaming that you might want) and great wifi. It was very handy to have a fridge as well. I had a bit of trouble accessing the key fob as it is self-service check-in, but a very quick call to the management sorted it straight away. Thank you Abi and Charlie for a fantastic stay, incredible value for money! I expect I'll be back

This is the second time we have stayed here. The location is perfect for the principality stadium and exploring the city. Room has a little kitchenette with small fridge/ freezer so great for cooking snacks. Bathroom has a great shower. When we had an issue with the electricity sockets the owner came and fixed the fuse box straight away. Virtual check in is great system and made me smile each time the door greeted me with my name. Have recommended to friends and family.

Great location, comfortable bed and nice hot shower. The kitchen and fridge are a bonus. Having to pay for parking is something we're not used to but a necessary evil in a big city. Always able to find a spot and the app was easy to use. Our biggest issue was so many narrow stairs but only because we're old and had heavy luggage lol. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons - The mattress was a bit dipped where other people have slept but it was comfortable enough. The shower was fantastic, great pressure and good temperature but for some reason it was running cold one evening which limited my partners shower - it worked fine again the next morning. The thermostat was heating up higher when we were pressing the minus to try to make the room cooler so we kept the door open but these were small issues. And lastly, the cleaner knocked on the door and then immediately let themselves in to change the bins, as much as we appreciate the service, we were in the room and didn’t have time to answer the door before they had let themselves in, so felt it was a little unusual for them to not wait a few moments as it was a bit invasive of privacy. Pros - We had an annex type of room at the back of the building which led to the garden area and also a small area of our own with table and chairs outside, so it was lovely, mostly quiet and private at the back of the property. Easy access with code and fob. The room & bathroom were modern, cosy and clean, with an excellent shower. A nice selection of tea/coffee and complimentary biscuits, a fridge/freezer, kettle, microwave, sink, TV with netflix. We were also able to get a late checkout last minute for a fee of £15 until 1pm instead of 10:30am which was lovely. Regardless of the small things we had a lovelystay and will be coming back again in future. Thank you! :)

Very accommodating hosts. Allowed us to check in early, and responded quickly to any messages we sent on WhatsApp. Everything in the property was as described. Excellent central Cardiff location. Good quality bathroom and shower. The TV with subscription services was especially welcome. Our only complaints were that it was too hot during our stay, and they didn't have a fan to give us on the first night; and the mattress is very well worn in the middle, so coupled with the heat it wasn't a comfortable sleep the first night. However, they did give us a fan the second night, so it was better.

Brilliant location only 10 minute walk into the city centre and 30 minute walk to the bay and even better if you are there for the stadium as it’s right on your doorstep. 100% returning!

This aparthotel exceeded expectations — perfectly located in the city centre, just a stone’s throw from Cardiff Central station, the river, and the beautiful Bute Park. Despite being so central, the apartment was very quiet, allowing for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The apartment itself was spotless, cozy, and stunningly decorated, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The complimentary chocolate was a lovely touch and made me feel even more welcome. Abi and Charlie were fantastic hosts — warm, helpful, and incredibly efficient. They provided updates and check-in information from the time of booking right up to arrival. Getting the key from the key safe was a bit fiddly, but when I called, I received a prompt and helpful response to quickly resolve it. I truly enjoyed my stay here and will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. It will be my go-to spot whenever I visit Cardiff again!
