Don't be put off by the location

This place is great for an over nighter. Stayed here to watch the rugby. The location is rundown and not very inviting but once you are in, it's clean and does the job.

Great value, helpful staff.

My check in was friendly and helpful. Especially regarding parking arrangements that were well advised and assisted. The room was clean and practical. It suited my needs perfectly for an overnight stay. Huge value for money given some of the more expensive options offered less in terms of the positives outlined above!

Pleasantly surprise

First time we’ve stayed here and was pleasantly surprised. Easy to book. It was clean and staff were helpful. Good value for money as we only needed a bed for the night and shower and team making facilities. Was a little loud at times at night. Overall good.

Superb Value Stay. A Walks Away from Cardiff Central. Pleasantly surprised. Would Stay Again. Very good value for the length of stay. Around the corner from the local shop/eateries and short walk away to central Cardiff/train station. Our studio room was on the ground floor at the front-so had some noise in the morning from the seagulls! but also the local sunday church singing which we enjoyed! The studio room had what we needed-bed was a bit too hard. Had to initially clean the room as they’d had a few managerial issues. There was also the laundry room, pool table/entertainment and outdoor space. Staff were helpful with any extras like a kettle/ cutlery/iron etc.

For student accommodation, the place is great, and it’s value is second to none. Likewise the staff were friendly and great to deal with. However, is a 20 minute walk to the city center, and isn’t in the greatest area. Giving it 5 stars as it’s better than expected and considering the price of hotels at the time due to the billy joel concert, a clean bed and ensuite for that price is incredible. However if staying in the future when hotel prives aren’t through the roof, would stay elsewhere in cardiff

Very Good

The stay at Arofan House was very good. I can fault the place. The only discomforts were that the pillows were too soft/flat and that the sink in the bathroom was clogged ( water leaked away slowly). This was reported but didn't get fixed before we left as we left the day after it was reported. Easy to commute to toen centre and other places

Property itself was nice, clean and great facilities. Would have loved my uni galls to be as nice as they were. We were in the ground floor and there was a noticeable smell of drains when we arrived. Area the property is in is very dirty. Litter everywhere! And just seemed grotty.
