Lincoln House Hotel
8.8 (116 reviews)

Lincoln House Hotel ★★★

📍 118-120 Cathedral Rd, Pontcanna, Riverside

"Clean and tidy. Excellent breakfast and parking was good."

The Riverhouse
8.5 (69 reviews)

The Riverhouse ★★

📍 59 Fitzhamon Embankment, Riverside

"Such a great place to stay on a budget, and the location is great to get to town or elsewhere. Easy access to public transport. The selection for breakfast was good. and not having to go down super early for it. The key fobs are easy to use and ideal as you can store them in your purse or wallet. The bed was so cosy and I got great sleep as it was so quiet. The wifi is great in the whole building, and it's awesome that they have all the streaming services available for the stay. Really ideal and safe for solo travellers. Plan on staying here again when I need to."

The Spires Serviced Apartments Cardiff
8.3 (108 reviews)

The Spires Serviced Apartments Cardiff ★★★★

📍 10 Cathedral Rd, Pontcanna, Riverside

"The apartment's location is very good. It is less than a 10-minute walk from the center and opposite a nice coffee/breakfast spot with tasty breakfast options. Unfortunately, the apartment had not been cleaned properly before we moved in. There were dirty stains everywhere, breadcrumbs in the drawers, and a portable air conditioner covered in dust. Eventually, after asking a very sweet housekeeping employee, we received a clean portable air conditioner, so that was great. We also received extra towels when we asked for them. A major downside is that we had reserved a parking spot for a fee (20 pounds per day!!!) and were given the hardest-to-park spot in a corner with a pole, because that was the only one left. In the end, on the days we had the car, there were simply 3 other spots empty where it is easier to park. The apartment itself is well laid out and equipped with almost everything you would need except a coffee maker. I really found that to be a downside, because you do expect that in an apartment like this. Check-in and check-out went very pleasantly; we received clear instructions via email. All in all, had a pleasant stay."

Austins Guest House
7.6 (54 reviews)

Austins Guest House ★★★

📍 11 Coldstream Terrace, Riverside

"The location is very convenient for central Cardiff, stadium railway etc. the property itself was not the one shown in the advert as they run several properties in the local area. The bathrooms were clean but my room was tired and had stains and broken blinds. The heating was either on or off as the controls were not self explanatory. Having stayed in many cities for what you get I felt the price was very high."

The Riverhouse ★★
"Had stayed in another property owned by Abi and Charles previously but due to Rugby Internationals all of Cardiff was full and pricey. Riverhouse was nicer than expected, very comfortable, good location, perfect for stadium access. Very clean and well kept, had a homely feel to the place. Bathrooms and toilets kept very clean and all very modern. Access is all electronic with fob for room entry and house entry by code. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Booked directly for a better deal."

Central Studios ★★★
"Location to public transport and local attractions was convenient. The accommodation was comfortable but it would have been better if there was a floor plan where the rooms are located as only 3 rooms were on the main floor and the others were accessible via stairs, which are narrow. Our room was outside the main house in the back. If you are travelling with lots of luggage or big, heavy suitcases, be mindful that there are no lifts. Housekeeping was a bit disappointing. Modern fittings and energy saving features were a plus."
