Stayed at The Nomad 12-14 April 2013 with a group of 18. The hostel is only a 20-25 min walk from Cardiff Central train station (although be warned, not all taxi drivers or people in general know where it is!!), very nicely located for nights out in the city centre, which was what we wanted. The rooms were very clean... More

after staying for 4 days at the hostel, overall I'm pretty impressed. a lot of the other reviews were crappy, which was putting me off going completely, but now it's definitely been worth it. the room was spacious as I was staying with two other girls, and there was plenty of room under the bed and in the draws. it...

So literally just got back from staying in Cardiff for the weekend. The hostel itself isn't great but not horrific. Bed uncomfortable but if your out drinking then it doesn't matter. There was 6 of us girls staying here and I would return only if the security guy was sacked. He was rude and aggressive and threatened to chuck is... More

The first impression you get of a place is always crucial and the one I had here was not pleasant at all. I felt like I was entering a prison (although prisons usually have a better choice of colours and decoration). After an ice-cold welcoming, I was asked to hand out my I.D. or give a 10 pounds deposit (like... More

So, where should I start to complain. The staff is mostly lackadaisical and wishes that they as well as you are somewhere else right now. At least they are helpful when you ask. Apart from the Private Twin Room (where there was a carpet), the floors were sticky and dirty. The beds move and squeal with every breath you take... More

I stayed here with a group of friends. The hostel is in a good location for the city centre. The room was clean and basic - not ensuite. Beds were comfortable. There is parking outside which you need to pay for however w e didnt have any problems finding a space.

City stadium is a further 20 min walk from the city centre. Hostel has free wifi and a small bar. Rooms are basic but clean. Toilet and... More

The hostel was clean and reasonable value for the price. Also not far from town at all. However, do not stay here with a car! You have to park across the street and when I returned to my car at 10am Sunday monring 3 cars had been broken into with their windscreens broken into. Luckily mine was not one of... More

the worst hostel ever. it was clean, but the polyester sheets made me sweating the whole night. the matress had a plastic over too. also the blanket was of very bad quality. very narrow space in the rooms. bathroom water closet not working properly.
