Negative Reviews
negative:
Not ideal for exploring centre on foot
Previous guests warn that the location of this B&B is not ideal for those in search of something in the heart of Cardiff. The B&B is about 10 minutes' drive from the city centre, and is therefore best suited to those travelling with a car or who do not mind taking public transport.
negative:
No room access during the day
The B&B operates on certain hours which means the timeframes for check in and check out are fairly small, and that guests cannot be in their rooms during the day. For most this was not a major inconvenience as they were out sightseeing during those parts of the day in any case.
negative:
No locks on doors
Some previous guests found it odd to have no lock on their door, though most were not bothered too much by this.
