“Our staff know that Mews are very responsive so they’re happy to question things. They come to me and they say, ‘Inge, can you ask Mews if they can change that? Because I think it will be much easier to do it that way or that way.’ It’s a great relationship.”

Mews is a powerful, automation-first PMS designed to simplify hotel operations. It offers a modern interface, 1,000+ integrations and an open API for tools like revenue management, accounting and guest services. With a mobile-first design, Mews enables contactless check-in, digital key access and full remote management from any location.
Mews delivers more scalability and advanced tools for growing hospitality businesses.
Mews is built for scale. It supports real-time data access, automated workflows, and cloud-native tools that simplify managing multiple locations. Features like Identity Access Management, role-based staff training, and easy system migration give Mews an edge over Cloudbeds for multi-property setups.
Mews automates 44% of hotel operations (Source: IDC White Paper), reducing manual work and increasing efficiency. With 200+ updates per year and an open integrations marketplace, hotels can customize workflows without developer support. Automation covers group reservations, flexible time units, payments and guest communication.
Mews leads in guest self-service with online check-in and check-out, in-lobby kiosks and real-time messaging. Guests can manage their entire stay contactlessly, reducing front desk workload and improving satisfaction. Cloudbeds does not offer self-service check-in kiosk functionality.
Yes, both systems support mobile check-in, but Mews goes further with a full self-service suite. This includes check-in kiosks, messaging and a contactless guest journey powered by the Mews Booking Engine.
