A former Cardiff hostel which has been plagued by vandalism, litter and has facilitated drug use has been put up for sale. The former NosDa hostel and bar on Despenser Street in Riverside, Cardiff, has been shut for a number of years after the covid pandemic.
Once a virbant city centre venue, the building next to the River Taff has long been abandoned with its windows boarded up, the front door covered in graffiti, and the picnic table area left 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.
