I had a pleasant stay at Ty Rosa Rooms, and for the price of £50 a night, I can't complain too much. My room was comfortable and spacious, equipped with tea and coffee-making facilities, which I appreciated. However, the shared bathroom lacked cleanliness and the light in my room was out, making it a bit frustrating to get ready. Overall, it has potential, but a few upgrades would enhance the experience.

I had a mixed experience at Ty Rosa Rooms. The hosts were friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. However, the room I stayed in was quite small and not as clean as I had hoped, which impacted my overall satisfaction. The location was convenient, close to Cardiff city centre and public transport, and the breakfast options were impressive and well worth the fee.

During my stay at Ty Rosa Rooms in Cardiff, I experienced a mix of positives and negatives. The room was comfortable and well-equipped with essentials, but the cleanliness and safety standards fell short. The location had easy access to transport, but I felt uneasy about the surrounding area. Overall, it was an affordable option, but some improvements are definitely needed.

Location

The location offered good access to buses that made it easy to reach the city center in about 15 minutes, but I felt the area was quite rough and potentially unsafe, especially at night.

Dining

6.0

Although I didn't try the breakfast, I heard great things about the variety and quality available. However, the fact that breakfast was an additional charge felt a bit misleading.

Facilities

The common areas seemed tidy enough, but it was concerning to find certain facilities, like the shared bathroom, showing signs of neglect. The lack of a reliable fire exit was another significant drawback.

I had a lovely stay at Ty Rosa Rooms, enjoying its cozy atmosphere and convenience. The bed in my room was super comfy, and the little added touches like complimentary tea and coffee made it feel homely. A downside was the shower power, which wasn't great, but all in all, it's a solid spot for budget travelers. The location is excellent, within walking distance to both the city center and Cardiff Bay, making it easy to explore.
