Fresh milk for tea and coffee which was really nice. Also snacks were provided. Much appreciated at the end of a long day.
Sehr liebevoll ausgestattet, Milch und Wasser im Kühlschrank, Tee/Kaffeekochmöglichkeit, Knabbereien... man fühlt sich willkommen. Die Terrasse mit Esstisch macht es perfekt. Zu Fuß ist man schnell im Zentrum und am Bahnhof. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen!
Everything was fantastic..lovely clean room ..will be booking again in the future ..thank you for our stay
Abbiamo avuto dei problemi per entrare e il proprietario ci ha prontamente aiutato per telefono. La posizione vicino al centro è ottima.
Nella tripla il divano letto è da fare e abbiamo dovuto rinunciare al lenzuolo con angoli perché troppo corto
Suite/Appartamento molto comodo, spazioso, Due ampie camere matrimoniali, bel arredate e molto pulite. Bagno spazioso. Comodo anche il check.in automatico, con istruzioni precise e ben chiare di come entrare, e dove trovare poi le chiavi, Parcheggio comodo fuori, anche se sulla strada. Posizione ottima, a 4 minuti a piedi dallo Stadio di Rugby e scarsi per arrivare al Castello e al centro pedonale.
Nice place and great location to visit Cardiff.
Good location, nice yard
No cooker. Plenty of plates etc but difficult to wash them as had to use bathroom sink - very awkward
La chambre et les sanitaires très propres. Cosy et bien équipé. Merci pour les petites douceurs. Cardiff mérite le détour.
Close to city centre, road side parking was available
Emplacement et agencement
Rien
Bien situé près du chateau de Cardiff et du grand parc. Cosy, mais super petit.
Pour moi, ce n'était pas forcément clair que c'était une seule pièce avec l'ensemble des lits. Lit double super étroit aussi. Un peu cher pour ce que c'est (129 `£)
close to center, clean, had what you needed for short stay.
cant think of anything.
We loved this apartment: suite with 2 bedrooms and bathroom, very clean, comfortable, nicely decorated! Thank you for your welcome!
So spacious, great location and generally nice place to stay.
Shower tray was filling up a bit when we stayed so seemed blocked but I imagine is fixed by now. The single bed mattress was not comfy at all but the double one was
Great location, lovely size rooms
Excellent location very close to Cardiff Castle. Very helpful hosts with prompt reply. All in all good value for money.
Had trouble finding parking spot as it is road parking and had to do paid parking for few hours which was quite expensive.
Clean, homely
Nothing
Great location and free parking
Great location close to centre. Very spacious.
Bathroom sink slow to drain
The rooms were really clean, perfect for being close to the stadium which we needed. Easy to enter with codes ect. We were supplied towels, toiletries, fresh milk with tea and coffee, crisps and they even left a little gift for our oasis trip which was a lovely thought☺️ Highly recommend!!
There’s nothing we can complain about
Great location, short walk to city centre and concert venue we went too. Free on street parking. Plenty of space in the rooms. Great value for money.
Friendly owner Clean Comfortable Great lication
Nothing
Appartement joliment décoré, petit coin kitchenette (micro ondes, frigo, bouilloire et ustensiles de cuisine) pratique et jolie petite terrasse dont nous avons pu profiter pour l’un de nos déjeuners. Du lait et des popcorns nous attendaient, merci à nos hôtes ! Proche du centre, du stade et du parc du château.
L’appartement était très humide, un récent dégât des eaux ? Nous avons dû mettre le chauffage le soir pour tenter d’évacuer l’humidité. Dans la mesure où assiettes, tasses et couverts sont fournis, une éponge et un peu de liquide vaisselle seraient les bienvenus (d’autant que sucre, café et thé sont mis à disposition).
we were staying here as we were attending cardiff pride on the Saturday. it was last minute booking for us and omg i could not have been happier. the stay was absolutely perfect. comfiest sleep my family have had in a long time. it was clean, communication was spot on and instructions were clear. i could not have been happier. thank you steve!
Fantastic little place right in Cardiff centre.. Three comfy beds, tea, coffee and a few snacks.. very welcoming and easy. Communication with Steven was excellent, parked right outside. Can't fault it and would definitely recommend.
Une nuit à Cardiff dans un appartement fonctionnel. Ideal pour 2 personnes. Isolation sonore relative.mais emplacement pratique.
It was a short walk from all amenities. Small but suitable for what we needed
1 bed and sofa bed which is fine however having to walk through main room to go toilet whilst others in our party was asleep was not ideal. Very warm. Guest in the other apartments were noisy and banging on return.
Great location. 2 bedroom apartment was excellent value for 3 people. Appreciated the fridge, microwave and snacks Steve was really communicative and organised a parking pass at short notice .
Pillows were a bit lumpy … but we slept comfortably.
Goid location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Inn Cardiff. The host was responsive in regards to helping us sort out parking and a slightly amusing late night incident. The accommodation was as advertised, and we slept comfortably. Would definitely stay here again.
none
Good location, convenience, near central city, Hose is polite,
No
Loved the terrace, bathroom and sink area- all were lovely, luminous and modern. Really nice and clean and cosy.
The main room was fine and cosy enough, but a little disappointing in comparison. It was a little aged and could do with an update and a coat of pain and new carpet. Also, the main bed is next to the front door which is a little odd. I could hear everyone coming in late at night. Generally can hear rooms above and next door.
location
nothing not to like!
The property was in a great location to walk to the main town, shops, Cardiff castle and principality stadium. The rooms were great with an extra sofa bed in for our children. The bathroom was really big and it was great for our one night stay.
We enjoyed a cosy stay at Inn Cardiff. The property is within easy walking distance from the train station, trail walk, castle and shopping precinct, as well as a number of eating venues. The availability of a microwave, tea/coffee making facilities and a supply of crockery and cutlery was very convenient for sandwich making and breakfast in the room. Steve was available to answer our questions which was a big help.
Easy check in, clean and tidy apartment, nice snacks on arrival! Excellent location.
The hosts are very nice and live nearby. The room was more like a suite (2 rooms and a bathroom) and was very spacious for one person. It is a good value for 4 people. Excellent location & easy to walk to many places.
The room was more like a suite (2 rooms and a bathroom) and was very spacious for one person but might be small for 4, likely good for a couple with kids. I stayed on the lower ground floor which looks right out on the sidewalk - there are thick blinds but it did feel a bit exposed in that room with the curtains open. Guests should know that when someone is in the room above you its quite noisy in the bedroom. Also the room was clean enough but the carpets need refreshing and the place definitely had a musty smell. If someone is sleeping in the front room they will need to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom.
La localisation et l'appartement est très bien tenu
Pour un logement type appartement pour 6 personnes, il manque une pièce comme une petite cuisine ou un petit salon. Nous avons utilisé les 2 canapés puisque nous étions 6 mais nous n'avons pas trouvé de draps disponibles pour un des deux canapés.
The location was really convenient for us and it’s a good size space with all the amenities we needed. The hosts were very helpful in providing us with two cots, so we didn’t have to travel with one, which made the trip so much easier.
It wasn’t clean. Bedding and toilet had been done, but there were layers of dust on the kitchenette shelves, toothpaste marks and dirty mirror in the bathroom, the fridge had some gunk, etc. There wasn’t any washing up liquid, so not sure how the dishes are cleaned, we could only rinse things. Could really do with some more attention to detail with the cleaning, given the insistence of a 10am check out for the cleaning to take place. The doors slam and make a lot of noise as other people are coming and going from their accommodations.
Comfortable beds.
Property was very tired and not clean. Very dusty, blocked basin and unclean shower. Needs decorating, terrible bad drain smell coming up the stairs, very noisy next door, glad to leave.
Great location, nice size apartment
Sehr zentral gelegene Unterkunft zu einem passablen Preis in einer allgemein recht überteuerten Gegend.
Das Viertel ist nicht das beste von Cardiff und die Straße recht stark befahren. Das Bad liegt hinter dem Schlafzimmer; unser Appartment ist daher eigentlich nur für 2 Personen geeignet. Die Kochecke ist minimalistisch ausgestattet. Es gab keinerlei Kaffeemaschine und zum Abwaschen und Wasser holen musste man immer aufs Klo rennen, weil es nur dort ein Waschbecken gibt.
It was close to the castle and a ton of places to eat.
There really isn't much, may be little tiny stupid things like, the bedroom in the front... have the TV mounted on the wall because it's hard to see while laying in bed. Maybe having a wash cloth to be able to wash your face.
It’s a good location
The Harlech Suite bathroom is off the bedroom so if you’re using the sofa bed, that person has to come through the bedroom for the loo. I didn’t think this was clear when booking and we actually ended up booking an additional apartment somewhere else
Great location, walking distance into town. Comfy and cosy.
Welcome book needed updating as some information was on longer accurate. Bedroom was a bit small.
We stayed one night at this apartment-style inn in Cardiff and it was a great experience. The space was clean, comfortable, and felt very safe. It was a bit small, but perfect for a short stay. There were two bedrooms, and each had both a bed and a fold-out couch—plenty of room for the five of us. The shower was phenomenal! Would definitely stay again.
The location was superb for out visit.
Nothing at all.
Was easy to get into but also safe and locked up well. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was ideal. The sofa bed proved a bit difficult to negotiate. Tea and coffee facilities were really nice. Nice little portfolio of things to do and see nearby etc. Place was really clean and presented well.
The bathroom does need a small lick of paint.
The space was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Great for a large party. Would suggest sticking the kitchen with the basics, such as salt and pepper.
The website advertises parking but the only parking is on street and is resident permit holders only. At 3pm, check in time all nearby free street parking is taken with people at work. The car park in sophia gardens is £24 for 24 hours. This should be made evident on the website. The suite was very dusty throughout and needs a good clean
Very clean and comfortable. Great location.
location, quite clean, suitable for a family.
Early check out before 10 am, noise from outside, matress and pillow quality.
Great location, perfect room for a group or family who need a play to lay! Very tidy and clean, room is okay, bathroom area is very nicely done and garden is nice touch.
Parking - not owners fault but just plan ahead as it is all permit parking outside.
Rundum alles, das Apartment war sehr gut ausgestattet, alles war sauber, die Betten waren bequem, die Lage war toll und die Gastgeber sehr hilfsbereit und immer zu erreichen.

The location was in walking distance. The layout and the amenities provided. Attention to detail, which made it feel homely. Great communication from hosts.
Unfortunately the parking situation changed last minute, so that was frustrating but not the hosts fault. The family above us were incredibly noisy, talking until 2am so we didn't sleep well. I don't think they were being overly loud, it was just the lack of sound proofing.
Séjour très agréable dans un studio parfaitement équipé pour une famille. Situation géographique parfaite près du centre de Cardiff. Il est possible d'utiliser une terrasse extérieure.
Le stationnement n'était pas possible dans la rue (réservé en journée aux résidents).
Near the park
Room : Too packed. Uncomfortable. Kitchen : The host provides plates, cups, spoon etc but no sink to wash them. No WiFi. No iron.
Die beiden Doppelzimmer sind großzügig und schön eingerichtet. Großes Bad und bequeme Betten. Im Eingangsbereich zur Wohnung gibt es einen Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle und Wasserkocher. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen und würden die Wohnung wieder buchen.
Eins der beiden Zimmer liegt zu einer Hauptverkehrsstraße (laut). Ein kleiner Tisch an dem man mal zusammen sitzen kann, würde das ganze noch abrunden. Aber es gibt auch eine Couch in den Schlafzimmern.
Just what we needed. Easy access and straightforward process and a lovely property very close to town.
Very well located to the city centre and Cardiff Castle. Well appointed apartment and the courtyard was a bonus.
Nice place to stay , 5min walk to the center, spacious and comfy rooms. Very clean and peaceful didn't have any trouble or anything to point off. Everything was in very good standards .
Location was great for the Principality Stadium. But didn’t love the street. And parking was limited
Property was as described so good. However no washing up liquid to wash dishes and loose plug socket in bedroom.
The space and facilities
The single beds were very uncomfortable
Posizione a 10 minuti a piedi dal centro, e a mezz'ora dai dock. Bello e accogliente, con 2 camere, ed un angolo "cucina" ricavato nell'ingresso. Da non sottovalitare il permesso di parcheggio messo a disposizione.
Ci vorrebbe un lavello nell'angolo cucina, per non riempire le tazze e la kettle in bagno. Qualche ospite incivile prima di noi aveva fumato nell'appartamento, ed era rimasto un lieve odore di cannabis.
Stayed for the New Years celebrations. The suite was absolutely spotless with plenty of free amenities included in the price. The beds were very comfortable, with plenty of space in the suite for me and my 5 friends to stay comfortably. Top quality fittings and an excellent system to check in and out. Will definitely be staying again, the next time an opportunity to travel with friends come up again. Very impressed
Great value for money. Cute bedroom with ample space for everyone. Nice touches such as really good body wash / shampoo / conditioner. Extra towels and easy check in. Perfect short walk to the city and you get parking right outside.
