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!

    Location was good for food shops and takeout but over a mile to city centre may put some people off, nice compact little place and fairly quiet considering near one of the main roads into the city, parking on the road was easy. Hosts were quick to answer any question so cannot fault them.

    Very clean and modern. Great location, really close to the city centre, probably too far to walk but there is a bus stop just over the road and the bus only takes about 10 mins. We were provided with sachets of milk, sugar, coffee and teabags which was really useful. The hosts were really informative and provided us with local information including the bus stop location and a local taxi number, and other useful bits. The apartment was just what we needed for our weekend in Cardiff :)

    The apartment was very nice and clean and modern, in a good location. I like the fact that even though it Just 5min walk to the city centre, it's in a quiet location, A 5-minute walk and you are in the city centre where you have all the restaurants and shopping malls, Cardiff Castle, etc.Joe the host was super helpful. He is always a phone call or message away.
