What people say
Very cheap, excellent value, very friendly staff, easy access. Very well
positioned for Cardiff visit for rugby international (and Wales thrashed
England as well! Thanks for arranging that!). We'll definitely be
returning in future if there's availability.
Great location, short walk from the train station, right in the centre of town. Very close to Cardiff Castle and Bute Park. I was there for an appointment at the Border Agency, which was a bit of a walk, but easy to find.all reviews »
The stay was a convenience for me for a night out with friends but even though I'd never considered a hostel before now I would definitely choose to again.
everything was fine a bit of an eye opener for me as I enjoy my own space I enjoyed the experience and would do it all again met some lovely people.
Very good reception, bar and dining area. Very clean, very secure. Excellent location and friendly staff. Toilets and showers good.
The cosy decor of the common room, the fact that the breakfast was included and unlimited, the location, the value for money.
Love how quirky everything was, and its city centre location.. was located perfectly to go and watch the Speedway GP!.
Bunk House is the most friendly hotel where I was. I like its retro style and there are a lot of people.
De-lovely reception/bar halls. Plenty of space in the women dormitory I stayed. Excellent localization.
Really nice place, everything was alright. Inside the hostel has a bar that I enjoy a lot...
I liked how close it was right in city centre and great value for money would come again.
Everything really. It was comfortable, staff very friendly and breakfast was amazing.
The downstairs lounge for residents only. Really lovely beds to sit on and watch tv.
Staff fantastic service and help and very clean kept. Loved the entire stay.
Cheap, in the city centre near bars. Just round the corner from the stadium.
Great value, friendly staff, comfy bed... Couldn't ask for any more.

Location was excellent.
system and everything.
It was as advertised.
Everythiing.
Fantastic design and enviroment, the music was always nice. Some of the staff were very nice!
La decoración es fantástica así como el ambiente que se respira. La música está elegida con muchísimo gusto. Algunos de los trabajan allí son estupendos(sobre todo el canarión, siempre con una sonrisa y ganas de hacerte sentir en casa).La ubicación es excelente para pasar uno o dos días.
Main level common areas.. very cute and funky decor
basic breakfast.
There are two toilets and showers inside the female dormitory.
Cheap. An experiane not to be forgotton.
It was good overall. Will stay again.
nice theatre room and cafe/bar.
Location and cleanliness.
Location.
Location.
The location, it is right in the city centre.
Location pub good.
Very noisy outside but obviously that's nothing to do with you.
There was a very noisy pub or club in the street, the patrons of which kept up a caterwauling until 3a.m. I was there on a Thursday night.
people coming in drunk and shouting.
The bathroom (the cabin doors of the room 4 were broken).
The problem with outside noise could be solved putting a double glass window.
quite nosy at night and loads of cars going by all night but that the only neg everything else perfect.
Showers stopped working but they starting working again after 10 mins so it wasn't such a big deal.
May be windows should kept open as too many in one room..
Poor pillows, not very comfy.
For £10 a night inc. Breakfast it wouldn't really be fair to
complain about anything!.
Bed was a bit creaky, noise from the street outside.
It was a bit noisy at night.
Because of the old-fashion windows it was quite loud from the outside street noise.
Inconsiderate people staying at hostel. If you are sharing a room full of people trying to sleep, you don't have a loud phone conversation in bed first thing in the morning... YOU GO DOWNSTAIRS AND USE THE LOUNGE/BAR AREA, that's what it's there for!.
Check out time a little early and breakfast finished at 9am.
Bit noisey.
In room wifi would be nice.
There isnt any kitchen(no cooker, no sink), only microwave, kettle and coffe and tea, what is perfect for stay one or two days but not more if you want to eat anything else rather than sandwiches.
No hay cocina(por el mismo precio puedes encontrar el Nomad con cocina y mejor desayuno),tan solo puedes hacerte cafes y utilizar el microondas. Es perfecto para pasar uno o dos días pero no más.
Shower doors seem too see through
bunk beds are not very stable, can feel when the person below moves.
The shower is not working and the push the button for water is really not a good idea for the shower and needs to be changed. I ended up not having a shower at all.
Sharing with so many in one room, while I knew it was bunk beds I didn't know so many could be put in one roo.
a bit too many bunks in the dormitories.
Shower facilities not good.
Cheap easy to sp-lit room cards £5 each not funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Early bar closure.
Too much people in the same bedroom.
Shower is really bad.
triple bunk that almost touched the ceiling!
no pillows provided!
dreadful.
The service was really poor, there wasn't any types of facility, such as drinking water in the morning,.
Dirty staff rude no where to put bags.
