I adore it here so much that I’ve rebooked for next year. The staff are so friendly and helpful and because it’s one of the smaller private ones it feels like a big family!! The rooms and the amenities are really good value for money and probably some of the best in Cardiff. Do yourself a favour and book here :)

Fantastic university experience, all staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and would regularly go above and beyond to ensure that each and every resident received the maximum experience and enjoyment for their time here. The location is both safe and close to Cardiff City Centre, with the facilities being of the highest quality.
