    University Hospital of Wales

    ★★★☆☆ 3.6
    Open

    “Recently spent a week on ward B6 after being rushed in. Was under the care of urology, ent and the mental health team and the care I got was excellent. Everyone on the ward from the nurses down to the cleaners and catering staff were always happy and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble for the ward team I suffer with anxiety so having to stay in terrified me but they did everything they could to make my stay stress free. I was allowed to leave the ward multiple times a day to get out for some air and peace for the good of my mental health and thete are some nice peaceful spots in the grounds you can relax in away from all the hustle and bustle like the lake. After last visiting the hospital is much quieter and more relaxing. And a special mention for the catering staff. I didn't feel like eating the first few days but they would bring sandwiches so I could have them later. The main meals were very good though with a good choice and whoever makes the crumbles and custard deserves a reward!”

    Cardiff University - University Hall

    ★★★☆☆ 3.5
    Closed

    “Don’t fear university halls! I’ve had the best year here. Although it is about a 30/40 minute walk away from the university campus and city itself, I found this bonded people who lived in the halls together, particularly people in my flat. I lived in Birchwood flat 1 which had 11 other people. The bedroom is much more spacious than all other university accommodation I visited throughout the year (because there was no en-suite or double bed). The shared bathrooms were alright, we had 4 toilet cubicles and 4 shower cubicles per flat. We had 2 kitchens which were quite spacious. The flat got cleaned on a weekly basis. Throughout the year I had a few maintenance issues in my bedroom but these were all resolved within the next 1 or 2 days of reporting the issue. There was an hourly bus on weekdays which did a loop of 4 main university buildings (medical school, business school, student union, engineering school) and started at 8:10am and finished at 5:40pm. In the evenings we ordered ubers to go into the city or student union, when spilt these were around £2. The halls are about a 10 minute walk to Roath park where we went on walks, played games, and had a barbecue in the summertime. There is also some green space in university halls and a MUGA. Overall, university hall is one of the biggest university accommodations so although it is far, you are not alone! Your experience will be more dependent on who you are around rather than where you are, and I found amazing friends in Birchwood and wouldn’t have wanted to live in any other accommodation.”

    Cardiff & Vale University Health Board

    ★★★☆☆ 3.3
    Open

    “The NHS works very efficiently when it has to. I was given excellent care and attention when I attended the Heath A&E department with an injury and spreading infection. Despite attending in the early hours of the morning in a busy A&E with consequent long waiting times, the staff were courteous and helpful and gave full explanations of my treatment. Having been initially assessed and treated at the Heath I was redirected to Llandough hospital specialist orthopaedic department where I was seen, treated and then booked in for an operation the following morning. The surgeon and his team were efficient and helpful, the operating theatre facilities were modern and excellent and the staff supportive throughout. Post op support was just as good. I can only profusely thank everyone involved in my care .”

    The Grange University Hospital

    ★★☆☆☆ 2.8
    Open

    “Wonderful maternity care. I’ve had to visit the Grange 3 times over the past year. Once a year ago following a miscarriage, then last week with bleeding to the emergency gynaecology dept and then for my 8 week scan. All 3 visits were as good as they can be in the circumstances. They were kind and compassionate during my miscarriage. And when we came in for the emergency visit, they were calm, looked after us and let us rest in a private room which was helpful with my cramping as I could lie down. They also sorted someone to come in a do a scan to reassure that we had a heartbeat, which was the first time we had heard that /gotten as far. We lost our dog the next day, so the extra time they spent to give us that moment really helped us get through an awful day. Then for my scan, all was smooth, professional and quick. But what was really amazing was Sandra (who looked after us after the miscarriage) called me when I had more questions after we left. She answered them all factually and really helped to calm me and but my overactive imagination to rest. Wonderful wonderful anti-natal services. Thank you!”

    Cardiff Student Letting

    ★★☆☆☆ 2.8
    Closed

    “Genuinely do not know how the ratings are so poor. Having been treated so poorly by a certain letting agency based on Woodville road in our second year, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Cardiff Student letting. From the initial viewings to the check out inspection, myself and my co-tenants were treated with respect and professionalism, the staff are friendly and have genuine concern for your welfare. Any faults and problems with the house were treated promptly when the agency was informed. Any viewings that were coming round, we were informed without fail with 24 hours notice. Within two weeks of the tenancy ending, we are due to receive ALL of our deposit back. Anyone that is looking for a letting agency that isn't going to lie to you, cheat you out of your deposit or ignore your problems, then you need look no further than Cardiff Student letting! Fantastic!”

    “nice university the staff are friendly and helpful. the day schools were accessable and informative. the tutors had time for me. the work was made interesting. we had a say in how the modules ran the students were friendly in my groups. the work was 6 assignments per module and it was very fun to work out. there are times when i did see something new in the work. and it was insightful there were student days and a happy helpful advisor on the phone. i did complex consideration with some of these modules. the questions were interesting. the staff were accomodating. there are good people working here and i never had a problem or argument with the other students. we had a nice time it may not be the best but i think i had some thoughts too they are nice and all my modules taught me something.”
