Senghennydd hall was probably the best value for money halls available and was very nice. However, some flats had a kitchen that was far too small for the 8 students per flat. Some flats had a huge kitchen. It was hit and miss.

The location of these halls are some of the best you'll find, a 5 minute walk from the centre of Cardiff and the student's union. An ideal location if you're studying maths, psychology and bio-sciences. You are also provided with an evening meal which is a 5 minute walk away from the halls and the food is average. Any issues with the room I found were resolved quickly. A cleaner came once a week to clean to kitchen which was helpful. My room was a good size and could easily accommodate several people. However, the kitchen I had was tiny and was definitely not suitable for 8 people to use as it was a struggle if 2 people were using it. There are some flats that have a bigger kitchen but it really is luck of the draw. There was no table to eat on, just a small 'breakfast bar' with 2 stools. It would have been nice to have somewhere to socialise so people could get to know their flatmates.
everything is perfect in exception for the lack of a window in the kitchen along with the broken ethernet port in my room
Very close to city centre.
It's definitely not the nicest place to live, but the location is fantastic. A 5 minute walk to town and barely a 3 minute walk to lectures, which really helps at 9am on a Monday morning...
The best place about this place was it's location, especially if you're a student studying Mathematics, Physics or Engineering. You can practically roll out of bed and get to your building in under 5 minutes. Some of the flats had a decent kitchen with a table and a couple of chairs for 4-6 people. Sadly I drew the short straw and had a flat with a tiny kitchen, no tables or chairs and it was shared between 8 of us. Nevertheless we still made it work, even without tables and chairs we all just chilled on the floor with our teas/coffees chatting. The cleaning staff are really friendly and aren't afraid to talk to you. It's probably the closest halls to town so it's great coming back from a night out because you never really need a taxi. It's also a short walk from the SU. The rooms are very spacious, I've had around 7 people incl myself sleep in the room. You have to go to Trevethwick for your evening meal however, you'll won't go as much and will probably end up cooking yourself. 8/10
Catering was sub standard....food was always cold or burnt or both!
The location is definitely most ideal however there is no communal area making social situations difficult, the general cleanliness is pretty low and not enough storage space.
