We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverhouse Backpackers. Our hosts were excellent. They couldn't do enough for us. Dorms and bathrooms were clean and beds comfortable. A great breakfast was provided and we were able to make coffee etc all day. WiFi was available and there was a nice outdoor seating area. Can highly recommend Riverhouse Backpackers as the place... more

Just returned from a fantastic weekend in Cardiff. When we arrived Charlie gave us a really warm welcome, we were made to feel as if nothing was too much trouble. The facilities were outstanding, not what we expected from a hostel at all. The dorm and bathrooms were spotlessly clean. An ideal location for us as we went to see... more

This hostel was excellent, it was clean, comfortable and the staff could not have been more helpful. |t is in a great location for the Cardiff night life and just a 30 minute walk to Cardiff Bay. more

I stayed here with a group of friends for a stag do. The location is excellent, just across the river from the Millenium Stadium and five minutes walk from some of Cardiff's best night life. We didn't use a taxi all weekend. The hostel is very welcoming, spotless and our rooms which were dorms for six were perfectly clean, simplistic... more

While we did have to give them cash deposits (that they did return when we returned the stuff) for towels, locks, rented videos, etc, which was a bit annoying, the place was welcoming and totally comfortable. Don't go there if you are allergic to cats (though there's only one hanging around). It gazes upon the unattractive Millennium Stadium, but is... more

This is the 8th hostel we've stayed at in the past 4 months, and we both felt it was one of the best, if not the very best out of all of them (and we've stayed at some of the top-rated hostels in the world!). First off, Charlie and Abi are great - they are always available and super helpful,... more

This is my first time checking into a backpacker's hostel. I've got to say i'm impressed with it. Charlie is great in welcoming...very cheerful & friendly. Overall the place is clean, very neat & tidy. And when it comes to $$$, it's worth it. Most importantly it felt safe for a solo female traveler like me. more

Stayed here with work colleagues for our annual Six Nations trip. I did not arrange the trip but felt that the overall cost of the weekend was excellent value for money. This backpacker hostel seemed very new - with new bunks, laminate flooring and new new showers and toilets. Our room was at the top floor. Breakfast was plentiful -... more

River House is by mile, the best hostel I've stayed in. The entirely place is well kept and neat. The room and common areas are extremely cozy, it felt like home to me. Absolutely loved the kitchen facilities-it is well equipped and most importantly, clean. It is centrally located, within walking distance to tourist attractions and city. The house also... more
