About this property
There are plenty of student buildings in Cardiff with similar room types. Eclipse Cardiff stands out for a different reason. The building packs more into one address than most student accommodation, from private studios and shared apartments to social spaces that students actually use throughout the year.
You'll find Eclipse student accommodation Cardiff on Newport Road Lane, close to Cardiff's universities and within walking distance of the city centre. That means lectures, supermarkets, cafés and transport are all easy to reach, while home is still somewhere you can switch off after a long day.
If having plenty to do inside the building matters just as much as the room itself, Eclipse Cardiff is worth a closer look.
Address:
Collegiate Eclipse
Newport Road Lane
Cardiff CF24 0SP
The building is close to Cardiff city centre, making it easy to reach university campuses, shops, restaurants and public transport without spending much time travelling.
Cardiff Castle, the Principality Stadium and the main shopping streets are all nearby, while Cardiff University can be reached in around five minutes by car or roughly 15 to 20 minutes on foot.
A room is only part of university life. The building you choose also shapes where you study, relax and spend time with friends.
Here's what you'll find at Eclipse student accommodation Cardiff.
Many Eclipse Cardiff reviews also mention the mix of private space and shared facilities, especially for students who like having places to spend time outside their room.
The accommodation includes shared apartments, en-suite rooms and self-contained studios, so there are several options depending on the amount of space you're looking for.

En-suite rooms include a private bathroom with a shared kitchen and lounge. Studios include a private kitchen, study area and bathroom, while the two-bedroom apartments provide shared accommodation with more space than a traditional cluster flat.
Rent already covers the essentials, so there are fewer things to organise after moving in.
Bills Included
Facilities
The building also has themed social spaces that residents can book, giving you somewhere different to spend time without leaving the accommodation.
Most university journeys from Eclipse Cardiff stay fairly straightforward. Cardiff city buses run regularly from nearby stops, while a couple of campuses are close enough to reach on foot if you don't mind the walk.
Newport Road gives you plenty of options if you're heading to campus, the city centre or travelling outside Cardiff.

Eclipse by Prima Vidae is definitely one of the better student accommodations I have ever had the chance of visiting! It is extremely contemporary, well located near the city centre and university and is reasonably priced for what is offered. The facilities and amenities present is wonderful. A cinema room, a games room which has a pool table, foosball, PS4, photo booth. There is also a cinema room and dining room that are extremely fancy and are free for residents to book. The gym and study rooms are great too. Would definitely recommend students in Cardiff to consider eclipse as their accommodation.

At first I thought it was a lovely Accomodation until I noticed the silverfish all around my room complained to maintenance and was told it’s that time of year for it and nothing was done about it. Spent the whole year with my stuff being crawled all over with silverfish. My desk chair broke complained and it wasn’t fixed. The TV didn’t work and was stuck in another language. Water from the toilet leaked under the floor and flooded my room it was fixed . But I would say but I had private accommodation for less and it was 100x better. For the price you would expect the maintenance to be kept up to date better. Oh and don’t forget the doors that if you forget your key your going to be locked out for the night and have an embarrassing trip to the front desk 😄

Living at Collegiate Eclipse in Cardiff is an amazing experience for me. From the fully furnished on-site gym and movie theatre to the private karaoke and gaming areas that are ideal for unwinding or hanging out with friends, the facilities here are exceptional and truly make student life pleasant and enjoyable.

Lived here for nearly 6 months now, definitely a place of ups and downs. Pros: Reception staff typically very friendly and helpful, if not a little hard to reach (understaffed) Maintenance have been quick and helpful whenever needed Location is okay, proximity to city centre Supermarket nearby Gym is very helpful and fairly well kept Cheap and easy enough laundry process Cons: Lots of noise every night from howard gardens, high levels of drug use both in and out of the building. Can barely open window or walk in the entrance without smelling it, nothing done to enforce this Residents tend to be very messy and generally very untidy. Rubbish bags left in corridors for days at a time, people putting their feet everywhere in common areas etc. Common areas often look like a bombsite Package collection is a little annoying at times but generally better than at previous accomodations Corridors / lift areas seem to be never cleaned or mopped etc, generally very dirty building despite what is initially sold to you. Have seen and heard about multiple infestations including silverfish, likely as a result of all the previously mentioned factors Predatory pricing - you are actively punished financially for booking early, with super cheap rooms offered late. No compensation for those who booked early Overall, not a bad accomodation. But for the price you pay, I would expect a lot more. I think it is very understaffed, and nearly all the staff there do the best they can
Megan Conisbee
Absolutely horrible. We had done everything for our booking well in advance and were turned away at check-in. The staff couldn’t have cared less and simply shrugged, telling us to book somewhere else and didn’t seem to understand that without a refund, we didn’t have the funds. How a human being can show so little empathy is incomprehensible. Do not stay here and do not book through Booking.com.
