Halls of Residence Information

There are two Cardiff Met-owned halls of residence which are conveniently located to accommodate students studying on any of our two campuses. Rooms at Plas Gwyn halls are allocated to students studying at the Llandaff Campus and rooms at Cyncoed halls are allocated to students studying at the Cyncoed Campus.

Plas Gwyn Halls​ - Llantrisant Road, Cardiff, CF5 2XJ

The Plas Gwyn campus is located in the small, pleasant cathedral 'city' of Llandaff, which is approximately two miles from Cardiff city centre and walking distance from the Llandaff Campus. All of the single study bedrooms are self-catered and have en suite bathroom facilities.

Cyncoed Halls - Cyncoed Road, Cardiff, CF23 6XD

The Cyncoed Halls are conveniently located within the grounds of the Cyncoed study campus. The halls contain single study bedrooms, some self-catering facilities​ whilst others have meals included in the price of the room. International students tend to prefer the self-catered accommodation so they can cook their favourite meals.

Facilities for both halls include on site laundry, data room and communal TV room with vending machines. The halls are in close proximity to shopping, banking and other facilities and students can also take advantage of the sports and leisure facilities at the Llandaff campus as well as the extensive sports and recreational facilities located at the Cyncoed campus, including an indoor swimming pool, Students' Union bar/disco, indoor tennis centre and fitness suite.

Click here to complete the online application

The deadline to submit your online application is Thursday 3rd August 2023 at 4pm (UK time). 

Once you have submitted your application successfully, you should receive an automatic email to confirm that your application has been received. 

Accommodation offers will be issued to students from July to students who have firmly accepted an unconditional course offer.  Once an accommodation offer has been sent, students will have 7 days to accept the offer and pay a holding deposit to reserve a room. The holding deposit will be equivalent to 2% of the total accommodation fee for the 40 week contract. 

If you do not accept your unconditional offer by the accommodation booking deadline of Thursday 3rd August, we are unable to guarantee that you will receive an offer for a room at halls of residence. 

UCAS students - If you are a UCAS student and your course offer is conditional firm, the university will be automatically notified of your results in August. If you receive an unconditional offer, a halls offer will be made by email within two weeks. 

Due to limited availability, rooms will be offered on a first come - first served basis. Students are encouraged to book their room as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. 

Accommodation fees should be paid within three instalments: 

• First term - September 2023
• Second term - January 2024
• Third term - April 2024 

Unfortunately, the answer is no. The rooms are all single study bedrooms and are therefore not suitable accommodation for students living with children and family members. However, the Global Student Advisory Service will offer advise you how to find more appropriate privately rented accommodation.
