Austins Guest House

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."

Pontcanna Inn ★★★

📍 36 Cathedral Rd, Pontcanna, Riverside

"Pleasant atmosphere"

Elgano Guest House
8.5 (38 reviews)

Elgano Guest House ★★★

📍 58 Cathedral Rd, Pontcanna, Riverside

"I stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting family and I can't complain. The staff were amazing, Simona was incredibly accommodating and picked me an amazing meal on my first night because I couldn't decide what to have. The room is exactly what I needed, clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced for 2 nights. It's not luxurious, but who needs that? I don't go away to spend my time in a hotel room. I will definitely stay again, and recommended it to all of my friends in case they have visitors in Cardiff too. Thankyou."

The Riverhouse ★★

📍 59 Fitzhamon Embankment, Riverside

"Overall a lovely stay. Positives: Room was fairly spacious. They allowed us to drop our bags before check-in. Location is good, close to train, castle, city center, and busses. Good options for breakfast (to prepare provided ingredients on your own). Lovely espresso machine in the morning. Kitchen, dining room, and patio access throughout day. Easy communication through messaging. Negatives: River facing room was loud at night. No fans, so room was stuffy when closing windows due to noise in order to sleep. Bathroom was half floor off from the bedroom."

3 Luxury En-suite Bedrooms ★★★
"I'm not very good at English, but the landlord was very welcoming and even gave me chocolates. The room was perfect, with an electric heater, complimentary coffee, cookies, and tea, and the mattress was very comfortable. Everything was clean and comfortable. It's only a seven-minute bus ride from the train station. And the price was reasonable too! I really loved this place!"

Austins Guest House ★★★
"The check-in, check out process is automatic using a code. There isn't anyone around that you can reach when you need. The check-out time is 10:00 AM and if you're outside at that time you cannot re-enter to the building or your room if you were at the toilet, shower etc at 10:00. Sent e-mails through trip.com as well as to their regular e-mails address never got replies. There is no chance of leaving your bag if you'd like to discover the city, I had to carry my luggage with me all day after check-out and got soaked because of the rain together with my luggage. In my second visit, by paying a double of what I paid here I stayed at Marriott and worth every penny."

Elgano Guest House ★★★
"I really enjoyed my stay overall. The location was fantastic—on a beautiful street—and the hotel building itself is stunning. When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by a very kind Italian gentleman, which gave me a great first impression. My room, though located in a separate area, was clean, modern, and nicely decorated. Everything looked fresh and well thought out. However, I was disappointed to find visible stains on the bed sheets. While I believe they had been washed, the stains hadn’t come out and the sheets were still used, which didn’t match the high standard the rest of the hotel presented. I think they should have replaced them. Another minor inconvenience was the bathroom light, which was automatic and triggered the extractor fan. This meant that even during the night, using the bathroom caused the noisy fan to stay on for a while, which could’ve been avoided with a manual light switch, in my opinion. Despite these issues, the stay was mostly very positive, but I can’t give a full five stars because of the sheets. Hopefully this can be improved for future guests."

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."
