Apartment is nice Victorian building at great location. Unfortunately the mattresses were bad quality so we did not sleep well. Besides, apartment was not as clean as we would expect it.

We were a family of 5 and stayed for just one night, we definitely recommend and would stay again. Apartment was exceptional, clean and all very new, we could easily live here! No more than a 15 minute walk into the town centre and paid the extra £10 to park on the premises. Overall a very pleasant stay, wish we stayed for a few more nights. Thank you

The place was great! I am a light sleeper so I find it difficult to find comfortable places especially from a noise or mattress quality perspective, but this flat has everything right! …

Really don't understand how people think they can charge this sort of money and don't even bother to maintain the property , just the basic tasks . Think they base it on once only stays . The damp and mould is totally unacceptable .

It is a very good place for an overnight stay or more. The staff is very good and supportive. This place has parking for 10 pounds only. Locality is just amazing and is very next to sophi park. Also, Cardiff castle is just 15 mins walk from here. There are good restaurants around this property and a grocery store is nearby as well.
