Nicely located flat 15mins walk from the castle and the town. 4 beds all in the main room along with 2 sofas, so no privacy if you need that.The bathroom was nice with a separate shower/toilet from sinks, all nice modern decoration.Perfect, if you just want a place to sleep, but it won't blow you away.Minor issues when we arrived were that the toilet door was loose, top hinge needed tightening do had to lift door to close it but not a show stopper and the sofa had a serious rip in the side of one if the cushions. Again, it wasn't a real issue for us & landlord thank us for reporting the issues and confirm these would be rectified.Would use it again.Parking was not an issue and the room had television, fridge, microwave, kettle and hairdryer available.

A home away from home, so much love has been put into this place. Beautiful little personal touches as well. There is not enough stars for how great this place was and Steven was absolutely amazing! Will stay here every time in Cardiff and strongly recommend this beautiful accommodation to everyone. Has parking as well. Thank you so much Steven!

Just a wonderful stay! Coordinating arrival, parking and departure with Steve was so easy- he couldn’t be nicer. Parked outside the door and made our way to our beautiful unit- Caernafon. Clean, spacious, every amenity we could’ve needed- and the courtyard out back was a lovely space on a beautiful day. Easy to explore the city from this location and a very quiet spot to overcome our jet leg with an early bedtime. Thanks, also, for the recommendation of Bill’s- we had a beautiful breakfast down at Cardiff Bay.

We stayed here one night and it was perfect for what we needed! We are a family of 5 with 3 young adult children and it’s hard to find a hotel room to accommodate 5 people.  …

the place is spotless and very nice however I was disappointed and upset that we were charged £500 forgone night, the reason was that the town was fully booked because of Bruce Springsteen concert so the hotel took advantage of it, I can understand trying to make money but this is daylight robbery

We stayed in the Caernarfon suite which has two single beds, one double and two sofas. The Room is long and fairly narrow with modern furnishings. I wasn't over keen on the leather sofas but that is personal preference.  …

Pleasant stay, very cozy and comfortable place, fully furnished with utensils and plates. Wifi was a little spotty, one of the sinks seemed to have drainage issues but otherwise it was a pleasant experience. …
