The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk. The best service I've had at any hostel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I had a fun night out and came back not feeling too well. The staff were really understanding and helped me throughout the night. I would recommend this hostel just for their amazing service and staff.

At the hostel, every room has a patio with a mountain view. The rooms are equipped with a safety deposit box and certain rooms here will provide you with lake views. At The Butchers Arms - Grill Pub and Accommodation, each room is equipped with a seating area. This pub had the best hospitality I've ever experienced. Staff and locals were fantastic. Food was exceptional and beds were the best I've slept in for a long time. Thanks to Andrew and his daughter for the warm welcome

Boasting a garden, a shared lounge as well as a bar, BunkHouse is situated in the centre of Cardiff, 300 metres from Principality Stadium. The property is around less than 1 km from University of South Wales - Cardiff Campus, a 8-minute walk from Motorpoint Arena Cardiff and 9.2 km from Cardiff Bay. The accommodation features nightclub and free WiFi.

Popular points of interest near the hostel include St David's Hall, Cardiff Castle and Cardiff University. Cardiff Airport is 20 km from the property. Well, cannot give a review for the staff, as there was none, except the two guys at the bard downstairs, that said they were closing, threw us out, and then started the bar and party again. Other than that, the rooms were spacious, had hot water in the showers. The location was top notch, however the door opening service is links sent by email. Now that was cool, but maybe not very appropriate, because not everyone will have internet connection at all times, or even phone battery, so a card will be much more convenient. All in all, would stay again, it's a good price for what was offered
