Great, clean apartment in a fab location down on the quay. About 25 mins walk into Cardiff centre. We had apartment 7, with a view of the Millennium Centre and down towards the quay. The difficulty with being on this side of the building was the 6am deliveries to the Sainsbury’s Local below. Don’t expect a lie in!
Finding the apartment was a trial and not what we needed after 4 hours on trains. Despite what looked like good instructions we spent 20 mins in the area and had to make a call to get extra info. Once you know it’s above the Sainsbury’s it’s simple to find, but the postcode covers a big area and the spot in the map linked in instructions shows the building on the wrong side of the road.
While clean, the space needs some good maintenance. The loo flush was unreliable, bedroom door handles not working and chain not attached to the plug meant using a knife to let the water out. The windows don’t shut properly either, making it draughty.
Despite the issues, this was a great spot for a family city break. We loved the dining options at Mermaid Quay and the space to relax after a day of sight-seeing. Sorting better location instructions - a What3Words would nail it - would have got us off on a better footing!
