Best Guest House Ever stayed at. Alan is such a great hostess, the room was cleaner than any 5 star hotel you can find. Very welcoming and beautiful. It is in between a really nice bar and a delicious Italian Restaurant. …

No. 62 is the ideal place to stay. The hosts, Alan and Liz, are charming and really helpful. Easy to reach in a central yet largely residential area backing on to Bute Park and In walking distance of the centre of Cardiff. …

I was in Cardiff for a conference and stayed at Number62 for the week. Liz and Alan were wonderful hosts, were very communicative before and during my stay, and made sure my visit was perfect. The room I stayed in was recently renovated and included many nice features - a wave of the hand turned on the bathroom light, excellent WiFi and TV reception (great during the World Cup!), super comfy beds, and windows that opened to the beautiful back yard.The location is great and I made several visits to the park for walks, picnic dinner, and just to relax. The neighborhood is very safe and an easy walk to the castle, museums, and downtown shopping. I walked in from the train station with my roller luggage with no problem.Their rates are such a great value. I highly recommend a stay at Number 62!

Clean B&B which served our purpose as we booked it late to go see a concert in Cardiff. The room was clean and the shower and toilet facilities were good. ||Little surprised that there was no breakfast included But they recommended the Beverley pub across the road and we had a good breakfast there.

I received a very warm welcome and found the house beautifully and tastefully decorated. A lot of attention to detail and a lot of thought given to providing everything one could possibly need - quality toiletries, sweets, teas, hot chocolate, umbrellas, etc.The room was very comfortable. The bathroom was big and looked brand new.Wi-fi worked perfectly, even on the top floor.Liz and Alan are lovely people and were available whenever I needed their help with busses, finding a good place to eat, and a shortcut through the park.With the park and the river around the corner and the castle an 8-minute walk away, this is a perfect location.

A young woman travelling alone, I stayed at number 62 for 2 nights during a conference. I changed my check-in time at the last minute, and the hosts were ready, waiting, and helpful when I arrived. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious, spotlessly clean, and outfitted with quality fittings.I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing trip in Cardiff thanks to Liz and Alan!Number 62 is Friendly, Cosy and BeautifulMe and My friend Imene we've spend a lovely weekend in Cardiff at the end of May thanks to Liz and Alan Advices.They're really kind and warm. The hotel was so clean and beautiful, everything inside is so cute, original and elegant! also the hotel is really quiet. Number 62 is really close to the town centre and few good pubs/ restaurants (you can make it by walk in 10mn). We recommand this hotel and we will come back definitively! The only thing that we've regret is that you can't take your food inside but don't worry : at 2 mn by walk you can eat in some lovely restaurants and pubs for each time : breakfast, lunch or diner! Imene and Magali
