Excellent location

Perfect location, looking directly across the Taff at the stadium. Only 10 minute walk to Mary Street. Very clean and the keybox entry makes checking in/out a breeze. Shared bathrooms between floors are immaculately clean also.

Very good location, easy check in and check out, very clean, quite a few shared bathrooms which were cleaned several times during the day. The room was warm and the sleep was comfortable.
Marina, 4-night trip

Fantastic stay only a short walk from Cardiff Main Station, Castle or City Center. Check-in with keyless code and key box. The whole accomodation has been renovated recently so everything is in very good condition. Highly recommendable

Would recommend

Brief one night stay whilst we attended a concert. Brilliant location - 5 minute walk to stadium! Great pub 30 seconds away! Rooms aren’t en- suite but there are plenty of bathroom facilities in the property it wasn’t an issue. Nice basic breakfast available in the morning which was plenty of choice available.
Clare, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

BEST place ever stayed with kind fellow-travelers for welcoming conversations, great location walking to town centre and near bus/train stations. Exceptionally clean rooms, shared bathrooms, common kitchen, dining room and back patio. Thanks to managers and all staff. Didn’t want to leave; hope to return someday.
Denise, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast was available but I made Separate arrangements elsewhere. What was on offer look very good and reasonably priced. Bedroom comfortable with tv and onternet access. Shower and toilet were outside on shared basis. Situation of premises close to station & Town centre.

8/10 Very good

Very impressed

very impressed with the way the B&B was run very modern we was a bit hesitant to book with the shared bathrooms but so glad we did book as they were spotless and it was very well organised plenty of facilities for everyone to use. The only down side to our stay (not the b&bs fault) we were on the ground floor next to the main front door so we was kept awake some of the night people going in and out at all hours and slamming the gate in the middle of the night. But overall a very clean and comfortable stay.

John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommended

Beautifully appointed and cared for BnB with self check in. A nice calm atmosphere, pristine and simple. Good breakfast, nice to have outdoor space too. All the check in amd info is straightforward and the hosts are responsive too. Highly recommended
Benedict, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good accommodation! I was a bit hesitant before booking because the bathroom is shared, but that wasn’t a problem at all during our stay — there are several bathrooms and they were always clean and available. The bed is amaaaazing, super comfortable, and the breakfast is great — definitely worth the investment. Check-in and check-out were very convenient thanks to the smart lock technology. I highly recommend this accommodation, I have no complaints, only praise. I liked everything!

Love the Place :)

My Riverhouse stay has been delightful and I enjoyed it. The property was near Cardiff Central Station and it is accessible to buses and other modes of transportation. It is also near tourist attractions like Cardiff Castle and the National Museum of Natural History. The place itself is clean, amenities are easily accessble and the self-check in was very convenient.

Good location, room layouts are odd tho with tvs where they cant be seen from the table or bed. Only spoke with staff on whatsapp and they were helpful
Adam, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

No personal welcome. Basic bedding.
Patrick, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room it self was ok. I would say average. In regards bathroom was dirty, I had to clean first before use it. In regards breakfast, not enough options. Only on first morning breakfast was great. Food kept replenished. Then at rest of the days of my stay with the family, breakfast was very limited. Never was replenished. I don’t recommend include breakfast when you stay. Even during the evening would not able to get cup of coffee. Owner kept locking coffee machine every time. Only good about this stay, wi-fi connection was great and tv options were phenomenal had absolutely everything what you want. However when you on holiday you trying always be outside to explore, Many thanks Regards Wolf
