Elgano sits on Cathedral Road, the long Victorian avenue on the west side of Bute Park, about fifteen minutes’ walk from the middle of Cardiff. There are 11 rooms, all en suite, and an Italian restaurant on the ground floor.

On Cathedral Road, beside the park

Cathedral Road is a conservation area of tall Victorian houses running north from the river, and it is the traditional guest-house street of Cardiff. Sophia Gardens and Bute Park are two minutes away on foot, and the castle and the Principality Stadium about fifteen.

Rooms

11 rooms, each with a flat-screen television, a work desk and tea and coffee. All are en suite, with a power shower, heated towel rail and hairdryer.

The restaurant

There is an Italian restaurant on the ground floor of the building. Book a table rather than turning up, particularly at a weekend.

Parking — read this before you book

Free parking is available only to guests who book directly with the guest house, by its own website or by telephone, and ask for a space at the time of booking. If you book through a travel website, parking is not included. On Cathedral Road that matters, so if you are bringing a car, book direct and say so.

Cardiff from Cathedral Road

Bute Park runs from the back of the castle right up the Taff, 130 acres of it, and Cathedral Road sits along one edge. Sophia Gardens is where Glamorgan play their cricket and Test matches are held. Walk the other way and you are at the castle in a quarter of an hour, with the Victorian arcades and the covered market beyond it. Llandaff Cathedral, which gives the road its name, is a mile north.
