Boasting a garden and views of garden, The Mews is a guest house set in a historic building in Cardiff, 1.3 km from University of South Wales - Cardiff Campus. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests have access to a sauna and hot tub.

A beautiful home to stay in, the host was very welcoming, helpful and friendly, and we were very impressed with the facilities. We really enjoyed using the hot tub and loved the sociable aspect of the shared kitchen and garden as we made friends with other guests during our stay. The self service breakfast was plentiful and we felt very at home. The prpperty is a short and straightforward walk into the city centre, we used this as our overnight base for a concert at the principality stadium (20 mins walk) and would definitely reccomend to anyone thinking of doing the same!

My stay with Derek was amazing. I came to Cardiff to find a place to live and I was full of stress and disappointed. Derek welcomed me in a warm and friendly way that I forgot all the tension I had and I started searching for my future flat. He is so considerate and kind and the rooms are very clean. Every thing was conmfortable and clean.

Located on Cathedral Road, the Elgano Guest House offers stylish rooms with free WiFi. Cardiff centre and the Millennium Stadium are a 15-minute walk away.

Just 2 minutes’ walk from the Sophia Gardens and Bute Park, Elgano Guest House is a 15-minute walk from Cardiff Castle. The Queens Arcade and St David’s Shopping Centre are just over a mile away.

I only stayed one night at the Elgano guesthouse and despite arriving unannounced early in the morning was welcomed very warmly by the staff, who offered me to check in earlier (which I declined since I had an appointment). They were also kind enough to keep my luggage until I came to check-in later that day. The room itself was beautiful, very clean, with a spacious bathroom and enough space to store my belongings. The guesthouse does not have an elevator which makes it less suitable for people with impaired mobility. To everyone else I would highly recommend a stay!

    Hosts greeted us on site to hand over keys and explain the off street parking. All the room sizes in this apartment are surprising large. Most of the kitsch appliances felt like they were new and plenty of plates pots etc. Very quiet and a good location for Cardiff Bay. Also near Cardiff Bay Train station and a taxi rank if you need to get into Cardiff City centre. Good value for money.

    Very spacious with a huge bathroom and kitchen, nicely decorated, great location just steps to the river path and a short scenic walk to the city center, quiet despite proximity to center, well equipped kitchen complete with clothes washer, nice and clean throughout and nicely staged with towels and toiletries, parking was free and pretty easy to find, we had one issue with a slow drain and Mike fixed it the same day while we were out touring, couldn't ask for better service

    In a really quiet street with free on street parking, the flat was spotless and the host had left.milk, bread, tea coffee sugar and jam which was.lovely along with a dishwasher tablet and washing machine tablet. It had everything you need including a welcome file and a balcony and was nicely decorated. Really simple but lovely little flat and only 15 minutes from the city centre. And completely silent at night. Loved it

    Lovely house and great location, you can walk to city centre in 10 to 15 minutes. Shop and takeaway just round corner. House was clean and lovely and warm. Street is quiet and plenty of room to park outside the house. Host sent access code 30 mins before check in and emailed next day to check all was ok, communication was great. Would happily stay again.

    Great location, close enough to city centre to walk to, but far enough so it’s decently quiet to sleep. Ideal hotel for a place to sleep and leave luggage while you go out and do things in Cardiff. Has a hostel atmosphere in the lobby, and functional rooms similar to en-suite student accommodation.
