Less than a 10 minute walk from the central bus and train stations and voted the Number 1 hostel in Wales by Hostelworld.com customers 2007 Please note that from 14th October 2008 Cardiff Backpacker will be relocating into a brand new wing of our sister hostel NosDa but don't worry that means you will be even closer to the city centre and will have an even better view!!

Cardiff Backpacker is the original and the best, highly acclaimed in all guide books and a proud member of Europe's Famous Hostels. We offer all the facilities you'd expect and pride ourselves on going the extra mile for YOU!! We offer a superb Gateway to Wales pack that gives you the perfect introduction to Cardiff which includes saving 30% on entry fees to the 200 year old Castle and the magnificent Millennium Stadium, home of the Grand Slam winning Welsh rugby team amongst other things!!

Our museum is FREE and boasts the largest collection of impressionist art outside Paris! shops and bars are endless and ever increasing and the live music scene in Cardiff has to be among the best and most diverse in the UK.

The recently developed Bay area is within easy reach by foot, stroll along the beautiful Taff Trail with the city skyline behind you and arrive at the home of Doctor Who/Torchwood, have lunch at one of the many international restaurants or even go out to sea on a speedboat!!

Cardiff is the ideal base for hiking in the Brecon Beacons or exploring the rugged Welsh coastline.
