But not in this case. If you prefer to spend your money on giving back to a local independent business owner than one of the large international hotel chains you can't do better than stay here. I travel to Cardiff frequently on business, I have found myself a new home here. Highly commended and definitely recommended

Cardiff is lovely, and I cannot wait to come back. But I won't be coming back to The Avene Guest House again. Had no interaction with the owners, just the cleaners. The room was clean but small. The noise from the rude / guest neighbours was intolerable and made for a very unpleasant night for which 'again' the cleaner apologised... More

Stayed here for four nights in a single room. The room itself was on the small side and wasn't en-euite, however the bathroom was conveniently located and perfectly adequate (if also a little small). The room was very clean and had everything you would expect. The Owners were friendly and very helpful and guests were well looked after during breakfast.... More

We stayed here for only one night but it was just what we needed. We stayed in the king size room on the ground floor, which if you're looking to lie in in the morning then you can hear every footstep but it was a lovely room. The bed is amazingly comfortable and the bathroom is lovely, not very spacious... More

We had a great time at the Avenue Guest House. About 20 min walk to city center, nice neighborhood. Cozy guesthouse, we got to eat breakfast in their kitchen. Their fresh fruit salad was so good! We shared a bathroom, and the room was small, but the bed was comfy and we got what we paid for.

Stayed for 2 nights in this handy B&B in Cardiff. Warm welcome from Paul and although Collette was "at home" we did not meet her and I thought this rather odd as she spoke through the door to Paul but made no effort to meet and greet us. We had a double room, no 2, was adequate for our needs.... More

The Avenue is a one of many Victorian guest houses along Cathedral Road in Cardiff. However after reading many reviews this guest house sounded good, so we gave it a go. Only needed to stay for 1 night but happily stay for longer, Colette was a lovely host, keen to show us maps of the area, suggest places to visit... More

I booked this guest house because the other B&Bs I have stayed at were all booked up. I wasn't too sure about a place for £35 a night for a single room in Cardiff because of how expensive most places are in Cardiff, but the reviews where good so decided to give a try. I am really glad that I... More
