Mrs Potts is super cute. I appreciated the privacy curtains on the beds and found the place to be unique. The location is great for accessing buses, trains, and just walking. There are restaurants, fast food, convenience stores right there. And it is near plenty of tourist attractions. Laundry service is available for a fee, which is convenient. I would definitely stay again.

The accommodation was ideal. Located in the City Centre a very short walk away from the Utilita Arena where I was at. Hotel prices particularly if you are on your own is extortionate when all you want is a bed for the night. To have this as well as access to a shower, free tea and coffee plus wifi for £22, you can't really complain. The two other lads sharing the room with me seemed decent people and the cleanliness of the building was to a good standard considering the age of the building.

Was a great place to stay on such a tight budget. The kitchen could have been nicer and kept to a better standard. Some of the toilets needed to be cleaner and with handles on them, but Jimmy a good place to stay

I liked the beds (maybe not the mattress itself…). They all had privacy curtains. Its old and very dated but low in price and the area it is in is great! Would stay here again.

Totally fine accommodation. There’s not much “communal” space, which wasn’t my favorite. Was clean for the most part if you don’t look in the crevasse of the bed. Had clean sheets presumably. NOTHING TO DO WITH MRS POTTS DIRECTLY BUT SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: The Cardiff airport is NOT in Cardiff. It’s in Rhoose. The bus ride was an hour and 20 min! I had an early flight and had to be back at the airport by 5am. I had to leave Mrs Potts by 10PM the night before to make sure to get to the airport on time due to the bus not running all night. So, I ended up sleeping in the airport.

First off, I had never paid so much for a bunk bed - $95. The city accommodations were almost full and for the price I wanted to pay, I had only found a couple other hostels with a lower price, ~$30 less that this one, in the central part of the city. The reasons I went with this hostel were the more private bunk beds with the privacy blinders and the more sturdy and less squeaky wooden frames which were practical during the stay as people came in/out without all the metallic noises. The other big reason that made me justify the $30 difference was the advertised "Free Massage". I thought it would be a good deal given that I was coming to run the Half Marathon and after a long trip it would benefit my legs. When I ask for it, I am told this offer is no longer valid, it had been about 2yrs now since they stopped this offer. So why keeping it on the list of the room amenities other than just for bait and false advertisement? Other than that, the price point for this hostel out of this peak weekend seems to be in line with the property conditions, old and run down. The property is in an old bank building, you can still see some tile and plaster works from that time, which is cute.But the building is run down, in decay process and with little maintenance. Very few bathrooms and restrooms for the amount of beds they have. Kitchen is a small room in the basement, the ceiling was falling apart due to some water leakage from the level above. Small lobby, the only common area.
