Senghennydd hall was probably the best value for money halls available and was very nice. However, some flats had a kitchen that was far too small for the 8 students per flat. Some flats had a huge kitchen. It was hit and miss.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Senghennydd hall was probably the best value for money halls available and was very nice. However, some flats had a kitchen that was far too small for the 8 students per flat. Some flats had a huge kitchen. It was hit and miss.
The location of these halls are some of the best you'll find, a 5 minute walk from the centre of Cardiff and the student's union. An ideal location if you're studying maths, psychology and bio-sciences. You are also provided with an evening meal which is a 5 minute walk away from the halls and the food is average. Any issues with the room I found were resolved quickly. A cleaner came once a week to clean to kitchen which was helpful. My room was a good size and could easily accommodate several people. However, the kitchen I had was tiny and was definitely not suitable for 8 people to use as it was a struggle if 2 people were using it. There are some flats that have a bigger kitchen but it really is luck of the draw. There was no table to eat on, just a small 'breakfast bar' with 2 stools. It would have been nice to have somewhere to socialise so people could get to know their flatmates.
everything is perfect in exception for the lack of a window in the kitchen along with the broken ethernet port in my room
Very close to city centre.
It's definitely not the nicest place to live, but the location is fantastic. A 5 minute walk to town and barely a 3 minute walk to lectures, which really helps at 9am on a Monday morning...
The best place about this place was it's location, especially if you're a student studying Mathematics, Physics or Engineering. You can practically roll out of bed and get to your building in under 5 minutes. Some of the flats had a decent kitchen with a table and a couple of chairs for 4-6 people. Sadly I drew the short straw and had a flat with a tiny kitchen, no tables or chairs and it was shared between 8 of us. Nevertheless we still made it work, even without tables and chairs we all just chilled on the floor with our teas/coffees chatting. The cleaning staff are really friendly and aren't afraid to talk to you. It's probably the closest halls to town so it's great coming back from a night out because you never really need a taxi. It's also a short walk from the SU. The rooms are very spacious, I've had around 7 people incl myself sleep in the room. You have to go to Trevethwick for your evening meal however, you'll won't go as much and will probably end up cooking yourself. 8/10
Catering was sub standard....food was always cold or burnt or both!
The location is definitely most ideal however there is no communal area making social situations difficult, the general cleanliness is pretty low and not enough storage space.
