An abandoned Cardiff city centre hostel which has been plagued by anti-social behavior since its sudden closure has been put up for sale for an eyewatering £1m. The former NosDa hostel and bar on Despenser Street in Riverside, Cardiff, had become a hub for vandalism, litter and drug use since it's sudden closure before the covid pandemic.
Once a thriving city centre bar which also offered accomodation, the huge building on the bank of the River Taff has been boarded up, covered in garffiti and its grounds covered in litter and used needles. The drug paraphernalia on the site was so bad in November 2022 that Cardiff Council sent a specialist team to clean up the outdoor area.
When WalesOnline visited the venue one morning before the clean up occured two people could be seen on the site consuming drugs while visible to people on the nearby footpath.
