    Pleasant Stay with Friendly Staff

    We enjoyed our three-night stay in a comfortable room, appreciated the modern kitchen for homemade meals, and loved the outdoor terrace for relaxing evenings. The staff promptly addressed our concerns, making us feel welcome. For optimal comfort, ask for a heater during cooler months!

    clean accommodations
    delicious breakfast
    street noise
    shared bathrooms
    warm rooms

    Exceptionally clean accommodations with thoughtful guest amenities make this place a great choice. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, offering delicious and filling options, while the sharing bathrooms were surprisingly spacious and well maintained. The only downside was some street noise, particularly from nearby events, but the overall experience was highly enjoyable.

    individual bathrooms
    great views
    limited family activities

    We had such a great time at this cozy spot right by the river! The individual bathrooms were a real treat for our family, and the kids loved the vibe here, especially the views of the Millennium Stadium. Check-in was super smooth.

    My kids wished there were more family-friendly activities nearby.

    great location
    convenient self-check-in
    quality wi-fi
    bathroom cleanliness
    inconsistent breakfast

    I loved the location of Riverhouse, just a short walk from Cardiff Central Station. Very convenient for getting around. The self-check-in process was smooth, which I appreciated. The room was decent but on the average side. however, I did find the bathroom unclean upon arrival and cleaned it myself to feel comfortable using it. Breakfast started strong on the first morning, offering a good variety of options, but the replenishment was lacking in the following days, making it feel limited. I also wished I could have a cup of coffee in the evening, but the owner locked the coffee machine at night. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi was fantastic and the TV options were excellent, keeping us entertained during downtime.

    helpful owners
    clean and tidy

    Had a great time with my friends! We loved hanging out by the river and the views of the stadium were amazing. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and breakfast was such a bonus. The owners were super helpful with our luggage, and everything was clean and tidy!

    hearty breakfast

    well-equipped kitchen
    expensive parking
    limited street parking

    The Riverhouse provided a wonderful experience during my stay. The breakfast was plentiful and varied, with options like fresh pastries, fruit, and yogurt. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, making me feel right at home. I loved having access to a well-equipped kitchen, which saved me money on meals.

    Parking can be a challenge in the area.

    clean bathrooms
    great location
    shared facilities
    steep staircase

    Convenient location for catching a gig, with easy access to the train station and the heart of the city. The clean, well-maintained shared bathrooms provided a nice touch, making for an overall pleasant overnight stay.

    Found it a bit surprising to see a bunk bed in what was advertised as a Double or Twin Room. expectations were not entirely met since the photos were mixed. The steep, narrow staircase could be challenging for anyone carrying heavy luggage or those uncomfortable with stairs. On top of that, the breakfast didn't quite live up to expectations, as the 'full English' really offered little more than the basic continental included. Lastly, the room temperature often swung from stuffy to uncomfortable despite the tall fan provided not really making much of a difference.

    quiet common
    cleanliness issues

    Breakfast options were plentiful, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The shared bathrooms could be cleaner. Quiet common areas were perfect for relaxing and socializing. A games room added to the fun.

    The River House provided a warm welcome and a lovely environment. Clean rooms and friendly staff made the experience enjoyable. the shower facilities could be a bit tricky at times, and the bunks in the room were unexpected but comfortable enough.
