Adam Street Gardens Biography
Located less than a twenty-minute walk from the city centre, Cardiff University and the University of South Wales. Adam Street Gardens (formerly Liberty Gardens) offers 540 students in the heart of the city. If you are looking to do some shopping or hit up the pubs and restaurants, all you need do is take a ten-minute stroll to the city centre. Nearby, the Motorpoint Arena hosts live performances from some of the world’s biggest acts and Bute Park, just twenty minutes away by foot, offers a green oasis in a city centre location.
There is an on-site gym that is free to use and when you are in a sociable mood, you can enjoy a game of foosball in the common room. Adam Street Gardens’ communal areas provide the perfect spot for unwinding and relaxing after a long day of class.
Choose one of Adam Street Gardens studios and, not only will you have your own bathroom, but you’ll also have your own living and kitchen space, fitted out with everything you might need to live independently. Alternatively, the en-suite rooms provide a comfortable home with their own private bathrooms, plus a fully-equipped kitchen that you’ll share with flatmates.

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.

A special shout out to Isabelle. Very kind and helpful with a gorgeous smile 😀
isabelle is really friendly, easy check out and great stay! would stay here another year if i didn't finish uni
Really nice accommodation with great value for money. Has a gym that’s included in price and reception are very helpful if you have any questions
I had a fantastic stay here, with clean and comfortable accommodations. Dan was exceptional, providing outstanding service and making the visit truly memorable.
Rosy and Heather did a great job
Heather and Rosie did an excellent job of finishing off our kitchen
The Housekeeping team are warm and attentive as are the reception staff on site, always willing to lend a hand.
Rosy and Heather did a fantastic job. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
Great accommodation with a.great common room and gym facility! Bit costly but somehow worth the price. Staff helped wiped down surfaces in shared kitchen so that's a bonus! Travelling to university sites I need does take some time but within walking distance. Overall a positive experience.
Really good service and housekeeping by Rosy and Heather
Rosy and heather were exceptional house keepers and have an amazing spirt 🩷
great location, staff are friendly and helpful
Decent tbf but spenny and not that near other students but near city centre
The best student accommodation ever!
Dan, Wade and Prince have all been very helpful whenever there’s issues or I’m locked out. They’re always friendly
Great place to live and very welcoming and accommodating staff. Prince is especially helpful and charismatic
The staff are AMAZING, the place is at a great location easy to get to places. And again, the staff are amazing I've had no issue and I keep staying here for my uni stay, there is barely any noise outside and no ones caused issue for me here. Best place to go is here.
Adams street gardens has been a lovely second home for my first year of uni!
Prince has organised loads of events to get everyone in Adam street feel included and welcome
Great social life and great staff, especially prince and wade
Very good value for money and helpful staff specifically Prince :)
the accommodation is so slay, the bathroom slays and prince is cool
Love this place staff are amazing and lovely, so many facilities for students to enjoy
I’ve lived at Adam Street Gardens for three years now, and have absolutely no complaints, the staff are absolutely lovely - especially Prince, Wade and Dan. Without the support of the staff and the accommodations amenities, I would have dropped out by now.
Manager is excellent in helping the residents regarding any issues .
Absolutely incredible staff that make the social experience so incredible and inviting. Wade, Prince, Dan and many others are some of the most inviting and friendliest people who organise inclusive and socially conductive events. You won’t ever be bored with this lot around.
Brilliant accommodation happy with everything
Very good accommodation recommended for students. Prince, wade and dan are very helpful.
The student experience people are amazing, extremely helpful. There is a great community feeling around Adam street gardens, with events, help available at all times. The living areas are large and spacious which allows for perfect social interaction with flatmates. Couldn’t recommend more
Good experience and when problems arise the staff send our issues (especially Prince) to maintenance and stress our concerns to them. On top of putting on socials in the accommodation, the team tries to know us on a personal level and learning names. On top of being friendly no matter the time of day or night, they are there to make our first year experience at university enjoyable. Overall clearly putting in more effort and going above and beyond.
Adam street gardens is a lovely place with amazing staff members and maintenance. The student experience staff members are always ready to help and host lots of social events for everyone to join, Prince being one of the most kind and helpful member (although everyone is still very helpful).
Maintenance is always ready to help us out with any issues in the flat. Social events put on in the common room are good, and hosted well by Prince! He is also super helpful - we always hope he’s in reception when we need something!!
I am thoroughly enjoying Adam street gardens, the room and staff are great.
Many community events with both staff and other residents
Great value for money for an accommodation. Modern and spacious rooms. Very friendly staff especially ethan and prince.

Wade was a great guy with a lot of patience. Very professional and helpful.
A walk around the campus is a lovely way to while a few hours. Some of the architecture is gorgeous and there's a lovely little park in the middle of the main campus. Very close to the city centre yet very relaxed.
It’s my 2nd year here. Would recommend, sight is cleaned regularly and cleaned always.
Great place to stay as it's in the city centre of Cardiff. The reception team are really helpful and the rooms are lovely and are really good value for money.

Very nice friendly staff, plan on staying here again next year!
Great experience all round lovely staff
Really enjoyed my time in Adam street gardens, rooms were so big and spacious with so much storage. Bathrooms in particular were the best in the business. Would definitely recommend to any uni student. Social side was great too never had any issues and people were so friendly. Staff were so assertive and fixed any problems within a few hours.
Absolutely brilliant stay during my second year of university. Staff are extremely attentive and any queries are quickly dealt with to the best possible standard. Central location with competitive rates.
Honestly best place to live if you want a modern room, not too far from city center and affordable. Staff are awesome at receiving post, helping out with scheduled payments or just pop in to have a coffee. As a Compsci student it's 5 minutes away from my uni and the internet is super reliable. I stayed in a cluster room the first time, you will most likely end up with some trouble with the other people you share a kitchen with, but if you just ignore them they won't bother you at all. That being said, the shared kitchens have loads of space and is good for bringing friends over for lunch. Securiy is 100% amazing on this site, normally noise complaints are only enforced after 12 pm, which is also good if you still have exams whilst others have finished. Overall a really good place to stay, I'm staying in my own room next year here with a kitchen in, extended my tenancy to cover the summer which they are also really good at. Super happy student,
Brilliant halls, location couldn’t be better! Staff are all so friendly and can’t do enough, always say hello as you enter reception, makes you feel at home. Everywhere is clean and tidy. Events are held on a regular basis for a social aspect, and is well received by residents. Literally couldn’t be happier! Have rebooked into the same halls next year! As have most of the people I know!
