We were greeted nicely on arrival. Accommodation close enough from City Centre to walk. You have to be lucky to find a parking spot near by, quite a busy road. Parked at the park, which was luckily free from Saturday to Sunday. Would not call it "luxury" room ourselves but all was fine for what we needed.

Not Luxury but was OK
Had a pleasant stay, close to the city centre - 15 min walk. Can't really be described as luxury, it served a purpose, Essam the host was very pleasant.

Great room
Room was great, bizarrely located inside a weight loss clinic, which at least made it easy to find. On street parking was a bit of a hassle and ended up quite a way away which is fine, but worth knowing in advance.

Nothing luxurious whatsoever
Friendly Guy with limited English asking for ID and I didn’t have any was a tricky start. Reciept for hotel says weight clinic as that’s part of the business, my office is going to love that. Shown up 3 flights of stairs where live wires on view to pokey room. Bedding looked like a dog had bit through it. It was late and I’d only booked 1 night so I persevered but how they can call this luxury is a joke and I’m a builder who’s stayed in some dumps. Plus side it did have a kitchen and fridge on level 2 and WiFi was excellent but I wouldn’t stay again.

Definitely not luxury!
Room disappointing: cramped, under the eaves, small low-level window with vertical blinds only (no curtains), 2 very thin pillows, lumpy mattress, 1 medium-sized towel rather than seperate towels for hands and shower. Manager helpful, even inviting me to leave luggage in the room as long as I wished on departure day. HIGHLY misleading to describe as 'luxury'!

Arrived in Cardiff by train for a one night stay for a concert. The accommodation is on a residential road about 20-25 minutes walk from the station. Check-in was by arrangement as there is no 24-hour reception, but I was able to arrive earlier than the stated check-in start time, which was great. Sadly my concert that evening was cancelled so I make full use of my room for the rest of the day

Convenient one-night stay
Essam was very welcoming and showed us to our room on the top floor at the rear of the building (which is partly used as a consultation business for health and weight issues). Therefore it is only manned at certain times. Although it was a small room, it was comfortable and had all the essentials for our one night stay. The position of the room at the rear meant that it was quiet and we couldn’t hear any noise from traffic. A kitchen on the floor below has facilities for making tea and coffee. The heating was on for only part of our stay but the room wasn’t cold, even in February. I would certainly not describe the accommodation as “luxury”, however. Also free parking is only available on the busy road outside the building. Side streets usually have parking reserved for residents. There is a coffee shop and pub nearby and it’s a reasonable walk into the city. Buses are also available.

Got free parking on main road outside on arrival. Good communication from owner who even sent a pic of front of building. Rooms looked newly painted and had everything required. Very comfortable & quiet for sleep. Nice touch of owner bringing up a plate of chocolates. Recommend & I’d use again. Thanks.

Excellent value for money!
If all you want is a clean comfortable room and a hot shower in the morning, this is excellent value for £50. They have a kitchen you can use, including a microwave. It must be about a mile from the city centre. Don't let the fact that this is primarily a beauty/health clinic put you off. I repeat, excellent value for money.

Pleasant
Was surprised upon arrival to see that the room is based in a Weight Care clinic. Room was a decent size with a large bathroom. Slight clinical smell but that only reflects how clean the room was. Service was great - free tea and coffee and friendly host. Bed was ok - could do with better linen. Overall a pleasant stay.
