Where are Guesture's serviced apartments in Cardiff?
Guesture has eight serviced apartments in Cardiff. Six are in Pontcanna: The Regency Studio, The Suite and The Loft at 82 Cathedral Road, The Pontcanna Emerald at 197 Cathedral Road, and The Pontcanna Pearl and The Pontcanna Sapphire at 86 Ryder Street. 5B Senghennydd Road is in Cathays, near Cardiff University, and 8 West View is in Taff's Well, north of the city.
How far are the apartments from Cardiff city centre and the Principality Stadium?
Our Pontcanna homes are 1.1 to 1.6 km from the Principality Stadium as the crow flies, and Cardiff Castle is about 1.0 km from 82 Cathedral Road and 86 Ryder Street, so most guests walk into town. 5B Senghennydd Road in Cathays is about nine minutes' walk from Queen Street. From 8 West View in Taff's Well, the quickest trains reach Queen Street in 11 minutes.
Is it cheaper to book direct?
Yes. Booking direct on the Guesture website is usually up to 30% cheaper than the online travel agents, because there's no booking-site commission. You also deal with our own local team from your first message to check-out.
Do you offer weekly and monthly rates?
Yes. Weekly stays are up to 25% off and apply automatically when you choose seven nights or more. For 28 nights or longer, ask for our set monthly rates: up to 45% off, with all bills included. For relocations, contractors and project teams, we will put the right homes together, with one point of contact and invoicing to your organisation. Call our team on 029 2120 0119.
How does check-in work?
Check-in is online and contact-free, from 3pm. Every Guesture home has its own online guest area, where you check in, learn your way around the house, find the best places nearby and book local services. Book direct and early check-in is free whenever your home is ready. To guarantee an early time, add guaranteed early check-in for £25 when the home is free that morning.
Is there parking at the Cardiff apartments?
The Regency Studio, The Suite and The Loft at 82 Cathedral Road have private secure parking, and The Pontcanna Emerald at 197 Cathedral Road has free parking. At 5B Senghennydd Road we arrange permit parking. Roads around the Principality Stadium usually close before major events, so on match days park at the apartment and walk in. Each home's page explains the arrangement.
Can I bring my dog?
Some of our Cardiff homes are pet-friendly on request. The pet fee is £10 per pet, per night. Tell us before you book and we will suggest the right home. Pontcanna suits dog owners: Sophia Gardens is 0.3 km from 82 Cathedral Road, and Bute Park, Llandaff Fields and the paths along the River Taff are close by.
