Central Studios

This is a gorgeous property, steps from the Cardiff train station. My son is going to uni close by, and I will try to book this studio every time I visit. The whole place is awesome, rooms are beautiful, a little deck, and very secure. Pick this one people! You won’t be disappointed. Dara

Great place to stay central to the city with personal touches such as you name on the doorbell when arriving. Clean and high standard. Easy access to paid streetparking, no issues even during peak. Only issue we had booking through Hotels.com was that check-in instructions weren't emailed out, just sent via WhatsApp. Considering we come from a country where WhatsApp is virtually non existent that's a little snag (I happen to have it installed cause of recent travels, but normally don't).

Great location, comfortable bed and nice hot shower. The kitchen and fridge are a bonus. Having to pay for parking is something we're not used to but a necessary evil in a big city. Always able to find a spot and the app was easy to use. Our biggest issue was so many narrow stairs but only because we're old and had heavy luggage lol. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons - The mattress was a bit dipped where other people have slept but it was comfortable enough. The shower was fantastic, great pressure and good temperature but for some reason it was running cold one evening which limited my partners shower - it worked fine again the next morning. The thermostat was heating up higher when we were pressing the minus to try to make the room cooler so we kept the door open but these were small issues. And lastly, the cleaner knocked on the door and then immediately let themselves in to change the bins, as much as we appreciate the service, we were in the room and didn’t have time to answer the door before they had let themselves in, so felt it was a little unusual for them to not wait a few moments as it was a bit invasive of privacy. Pros - We had an annex type of room at the back of the building which led to the garden area and also a small area of our own with table and chairs outside, so it was lovely, mostly quiet and private at the back of the property. Easy access with code and fob. The room & bathroom were modern, cosy and clean, with an excellent shower. A nice selection of tea/coffee and complimentary biscuits, a fridge/freezer, kettle, microwave, sink, TV with netflix. We were also able to get a late checkout last minute for a fee of £15 until 1pm instead of 10:30am which was lovely. Regardless of the small things we had a lovelystay and will be coming back again in future. Thank you! :)

This aparthotel exceeded expectations — perfectly located in the city centre, just a stone’s throw from Cardiff Central station, the river, and the beautiful Bute Park. Despite being so central, the apartment was very quiet, allowing for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The apartment itself was spotless, cozy, and stunningly decorated, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The complimentary chocolate was a lovely touch and made me feel even more welcome. Abi and Charlie were fantastic hosts — warm, helpful, and incredibly efficient. They provided updates and check-in information from the time of booking right up to arrival. Getting the key from the key safe was a bit fiddly, but when I called, I received a prompt and helpful response to quickly resolve it. I truly enjoyed my stay here and will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. It will be my go-to spot whenever I visit Cardiff again!

This is a fantastic place, so personal I love it and I would definitely go back. I love the garden downstairs for a bit of a excape from the room, I it's close to every thing and affordable. It made the trip as we were visiting Wales for the first time. Thank you.

Clean, quiet, warm apartment with everything you need for a short stay at a great price. Situated close to the centre with fairly cheap parking close by. Will stay again!

The central location of this property was absolutely ideal for our stay. The room had everything needed to be self sufficient and meant that we didn’t have to eat out every evening. A very secure, very well presented property and we would stay here again. Our only gripe was the parking. Pay and display all day (except Sunday) and quite difficult to park Fri/Sat evenings.

Everything was absolutely incredible about this stay! Even the tiny little details like the coffee, the washing up liquid to the mini iron! I loved it so much, I will be back!

Amazing location for city centre and rugby. Room was great with lovely shower. Room had microwave and fridge and comfy bed . We will be back.

Landlords very helpful. Easy check in. Rooms very clean. Definitely be back. Thank you.

Really modern, lovely room, great location. I saw quite a few short white hairs on the bed runner and both cutlery and cups were not particularly clean. A little more attention to this would have made the stay great.

Exceptional standards in cleanliness, fixtures and fittings. Superb location. A very nice space to be in away from home. Well designed and ergonomic.

Ideally located just a 10 minute walk from Cardiff Central train station. Received a video before my arrival explaining access which made it so easy! My room was a decent size with an equipped kitchenette. Very clean. Modern furnishings and decor. Comfy bed, large TV with streaming services. Bathroom with a shower was very clean. Towels changed and rubbish taken away after my 2nd night. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and the hosts were easy to contact for any queries. My only slight negative was the light in the small hallway which only turned off when I shut the main door to the bedroom & kitchenette. There was no switch to turn it off myself. I prefer to leave the door ajar. This was a minor thing as overall I loved this place and will definitely book again on my next trip to Cardiff!

Property was very spacious and clean. Within walking distance of central Cardiff with many dining options within walking distance.

Quite small but has all that's needed for a short stay. Clean, modern and well-kept. Easy check-in. Located a stone throw's away from the city center but very quiet at night.

This was the best hotel stay I’ve had in the UK. Close to the train station. Lots of things nearby. The rooms are very neat and I could not find a single fault.

Great location, clead and tidy, well centered. All best.

Really good location, spotlessly clean with everything you could need. We will definitely stay again.

Very accommodating hosts. Allowed us to check in early, and responded quickly to any messages we sent on WhatsApp. Everything in the property was as described. Excellent central Cardiff location. Good quality bathroom and shower. The TV with subscription services was especially welcome. Our only complaints were that it was too hot during our stay, and they didn't have a fan to give us on the first night; and the mattress is very well worn in the middle, so coupled with the heat it wasn't a comfortable sleep the first night. However, they did give us a fan the second night, so it was better.

I am a visitor from Germany and don’t know Cardiff. This place was very clean and nicely fitted out/decorated, with some nice modern touches which lifted the place above the average and made it feel more cheerful :-) Everything I needed was there. I felt comfortable and safe. Great location with bus stop outside the door and very close to city centre and train station. The only thing I would recommend is checking the mattress-which seemed to be uneven. It may be time for a new one! Many thanks for a very good stay.

The room was clean and nicely equipped. My room was at the back of the house and was very quiet. Communication was good. Thank you.

Only real issues are that it is a narrow staircase to bring bags up and down. Also the room is quite small. Nice but small.

Photos not as expected - room much smaller. No balcony - simply an open door

Very tidy and easy to access!

The studio was so small that, when moving from the left to the right side of the bed, I had to walk sideways. My feet had to be in a slanted position; it was uncomfortable. The building was too close to its neighbor. The studio I got looked nothing like its depiction on Expedia. To enjoy some privacy, I improvised curtains made out of black garbage bags. It rained consistently for most of my stay, so I stayed inside. There were dark gray skies and no natural light anywhere. In spite of the nice fixtures, I felt I was in a hole. There was an endless parade of undesirable characters producing undesirable noises in attempts to create a totally undesirable contact; just as I had predicted and expressed concern about when I made my reservation. After I set up my safety gadgets, the noises subsided but never ceased. They were most noticeable late morning or early afternoon, right before a “housekeeper” would knock on my door. Oddly, they wanted to come inside to pick-up the trash. On one occasion, there was a soft knock followed by an attempt to get inside. My safety gadgets prevented the intrusion. I opened the door then and found a young woman wearing a hijab; I felt a little unsettled. I asked the woman to please bring me a roll of toilet paper the next day and leave by my door. That did not happen. The undesirable noises also happened late at different nights. It was like new misguided creatures believed they could “get me” by doing more of the same. It was nauseating.

Wonderful property, thanks so much for a fantastic last minute stay. Communication and check in procedures are excellent. The property is of a very high standard and very comfortable. Kitchen and bathroom facilities are excellent. Will definitely return.

the property is top notch everything you need, good communication very spacious for a studio, very pretty bathroom, clean and the location is perfect

Highly recommend staying here. The place was warm, fully equipped with all you need for a weekend away in Cardiff! Brilliant location only 10 minute walk into the city centre and 30 minute walk to the bay and even better if you are there for the stadium as it’s right on your doorstep. 100% returning! Thank you very much ☺️
