BunkHouse

It was a great stay but difficult to contact staff.

I read the more recent reviews after I had already booked it and they weren’t great so went with low expectations. However was pleasantly surprised. Found the toilets clean and the bed relatively comfortable. Only cons if at all, are 1. There’s no reception, and you can only enter through an online key card which activates at 2pm. So if you do fly in early and are looking for a place to hold luggage it doesn’t work. 2. The lockers are way too small to accommodate any backpack. The lock in mine was broken too. All in all though was a decent experience

Nice, affordable stay. Good location, nice friendly staff.

I’ve stayed at other hostels and if it were not for the kindness of the staff I was lucky to meet I would have given it 1 star . I’ve tried to upload the photos but it kept giving error, but you will be able to find them around anyway. Pros of this hostel: - it is 5mins walk from Principality Stadium - the staff, when you get across one of them, are kind friendly people - it’s the only hostel in the area - the female only room is actually the best area of the hostel as it has its own toilets and showers and a small living room with 2 sofas and a tiny fridge. - It’s a roof over your head. Down sides: - If you have no internet forget about being able to enter the hostel as everytime you need to enter the premises, your room or the toilets you need to open them via an online scanning app. - It is unmanned so no reception, your best bet is the club connected to it. - Beside the common area that gets cleaned everyday, rooms are barely ever cleaned, bedsheets get changed at check out, but in a week floor has never been cleaned. - The bunk beds are old models I believe cause unless your height is less than 1.50cm you are constantly going to hit you head if you try sitting straight. - Most mattresses you can feel the spring coils in your rib, bedsheets can have old stains. - General Female bathrooms: there should be 2 toilets but one is in very poor conditions and partly broken, showers literally last 6 seconds and you need to keep pressing the botton, they are very dirty with evident signs of black mold. - Common area: there is a microwave and an Airfryer but there is no item you can use to cook food in the Airfryer, there are literally 2 normal knives and 4 forks, and 1 teaspoon. So unless you bring your own tinfoil or a container to use forget about using it. - Over one week it happened over 3 times that people who had no booking got in and either sleep on the couch in the common area, or in the disabled bathroom ( a girl in my room had gone there and got scared to find someone sleeping inside).
