Two new developments that may be of interest. The YHA look to be taking over what I think is the Premier Inn which is near the Magic Roundabout just as you enter the industrial estate/office park. A few years ago the YHA were looking at building in Bridge Street in the gap between the Chapel restaurant and Charles Street. That looks scuppered now and it's difficult to envisage what will be built there. The current YHA facility in Wedal Road will close.
Just saw this post and I believe that it's the Mercure Lodge and not the Premier Inn that is involved. It's on East Wharf Road, a spur on the entrance to the Central Link Road from East Tyndall Street, and sandwiched between the car/van sales lot and the steel works. Not the most obvious area for a Youth Hostel with poor pedestrian and public transport links and very few local amenities (Unless you count the "ladies" working around the Magic Roundabout
)
