BunkHouse Hostel & DnB Bar

Not a bad, cheap place to stay if you want somewhere cheap in Cardiff! You're paying for a hostel room, and if you're expecting this, you'll be more than happy. Mattresses are a bit hard (very subjective of course) but is otherwise sleepable. The bunkbeds do creak and the doors slam quite loudly (comes with the hostel territory, pun not intended) The DnB bar bass sound does come through, so if you're a light sleeper/get disturbed by noise, you'll need earplugs (or potentially need to stay elsewhere!) Keep in mind you *need* to have internet to be able to access the hostel doors, the hostel does have a free WiFi you can use when near to the premises. On the stay, had someone trying the doors to get in and knock on the dormitory doors (individually locked) at 5 in the morning, but the out of hours number supplied was responded to quickly and someone came up to check what was going on. Facilities get cleaned daily, basic but serviceable, hot shower and lockable toilets along with a decent common room you can hide in for a bit.

No kitchen, but nice sitting area. It was safe and clean, in a good location, but zero interaction with any staff- the key system is on your phone so make sure you have access to your email! The bathroom was always super cold and showers are awkward. Rooms were simple with bunk beds. I felt completely safe during my stay (in the 4 bed female room) but it was just a weird set up…I don’t know. The lockers under the bed made so sense and didn’t lock haha. No idea what the space was before a hostel.
