Right in front is the street parking (free). Walking distance to city center and Cardiff castle. Water dispenser and hot water is provided at entrance for self service. Very satisfying the stay!

カーディフセントラル駅から徒歩約5分の好立地。部屋は狭いが、寝泊まりするには耐えられる広さ。クリーニングは2日に一回。アメニティは歯磨きセットがない。
最終日に部屋に干してた自分のタオルを間違ってクリーニングレディースが持って行ってしまった。一時はどうなることかと思ったが、大量のクリーニングの中から親身に探してくれた。総じて接客は好印象。

I’ve stayed at this hotel twice before, once with family and once with a friend, and in both visits I was very happy with the experience. The rooms have excellent heating systems, private toilets that are clean and pleasant, private tea/coffee station and easy access to the city centre. It’s a safe, affordable and pleasant place that I will definitely come back to in the future!

The WiseStays in Cardiff is a brilliant location. Walkable to the town centre and castle. It's also only a 25 mins walk to Cardiff Bay. So if you want to be in heart of town, this is the place. Also the street parking isn't too bad. I was able to find parking every time I needed to but it's not guaranteed. Street parking is paid 3.50 an hour from 8am-6pm Mon to Sat and 10am-6pm Sunday.
The accommodation is a basic bed sit. An old terrace house where each room has been made into you sleeping accommodation for the evening. It's old and basic but everything was clean and in working condition. The whole place is practical with nothing fancy.
I was impressed with their communication. It was all done via messages. Very proactive and good clear instructions to get in.
So it's a good place, just a little old with nothing fancy to mention.

Good quality lodgings.
Top-drawer in every way. Pleased to see the microwave and extra hot/cold drink available, too.
Well organised room, comfortable although a slightly thicker mattress would be appreciated and detracted from the quality feel.
The only down side I faced (and not much the hotel could do about it even if asked) was that when I opened my windows, the smell of **** being smoked by neighbours was pervasive and I had to close the windows on a warm night.

Lovely hotel
The location of the hotel is amazing, very close the Cardiff central station making it the best place to stay.
The room is clean with no complicated check in/check out process.

All as it should be
Nice and centrally located hotel. Room was nice and spacious with Tea and Coffee making facilities, TV and a bathroom with shower. Everything one needs for a stay. Centre of town only 10 Minutes away on foot. Easy and fast check-in and out!
