Central Studio room had everything I needed. It had a little kitchenette with microwave and fridge which I found useful as I didn't go out in the evening.The rooms are of a high standard and nicely furnished as was the bathroom.This was my first trip to Cardiff and I will definitely be returning. I prefer to stay in small unique hotels rather than big chains so for me this was a great find.Location too was better for me.Would definitely recommend this placeAnd will be back hopefully soon

Stay in one of the one bed apartments for 3 nights whilst in Cardiff to see the Billy Joel concert. The apartment was to a very high spec and a great location for the city centre. Parking was across the road which was great for 2 of the nights, but beware you cannot park there when there is an event on at the Principality Stadium as they use the road for the buses transporting people to and from the stadium. Found parking locally so not a major problem. The room was superb, cleaned every day, could not fault it and will definitely stay again next time we’re in Cardiff .

Central Studios was a great place to spend time while I explored Cardiff. In fact, there were many mornings I just stayed in and enjoyed the terrace with a coffee and a book! The apartment was snug, but more than adequate for a solo traveler. The wifi was incredibly good, everything was clean, the kitchen was well-equipped for my long-term stay, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was lovely. The building is also on the edge of the city center, within walking distance from the train station. But it's still pretty quiet and peaceful. On Sundays, there's a farmer's market with everything you could want for brunch or the week. I highly recommend Central Studios!

Very impressive accommodation in Cardiff - I extended my stay twice because I was so comfortable! A lot of care has been taken in renovating these flats. The room felt brand new and had top of the line amenities in the kitchenette and bathroom. l've already recommended City Studios to my family and friends.

A perfect place to stay ... the surrounding was peaceful, location is just infront of the principality stadium, 10 mins walk from city centre and castle. There's a beautiful park called Sophia Garden within 2 mins walk. Also there are few south asian restaurants nearby. The room was neat and clean, TV with Netflix, Prime video, YouTube, Kitchen (but no stove), nice bathroom, comfortable bed and big open window. Nicely secured property.

The location was fantastic, within a few minutes walk of the shops and restaurants, Principality Stadium, Cardiff Castle, and only a thirty-ish minute walk to the bay. Super convenient to transport stops, too! The studio was lovely, with everything needed for a short stay. I was on the ground floor and appreciated the films on the bottoms of the windows so that light came in, but no one could see into the space. Everything was very clean and modern, and I didn't feel that anything at all was lacking.

Had a lovely stay here. It's self check in, but they send you messages in advance and I needed a couple of things while I was staying, they were really responsive and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything I needed. There was also a lovely patio area off the room which was so nice to have my breakfast on. Really handy location, 5-10 min walk from the station and not much more into town. If I ever come to Cardiff again I'll book in straight here. Pictures were late at night but there are little lights out there in the evening which are lovely
