We stayed here one night and it was perfect for what we needed! We are a family of 5 with 3 young adult children and it’s hard to find a hotel room to accommodate 5 people. Steve was very nice, present, let us check in early and leave our bags the next morning while we toured the castle before catching our next train. His communication was excellent before and during our stay. The room was clean. The shower was hot and with good water pressure. The garden out back was a lovely place to sit and read. Location was very good - very close to the castle, stadium and main shopping area. I would recommend.

Just returned from a 3 night stay, was in Cardiff for a family wedding. Have to say the staff were friendly, informative and very accommodating. Wedding was on Friday and the maltsters arms very kindly allowed us to have dinner with them on Saturday night, there was 18 of us!!! Hats off to the chef and kitchen staff for the most amazing food, from starters to desserts and delicious drinks and cocktails 5 stars. We would highly recommend the hotel to anyone. The manager sorry can’t remember your name, was friendly and helpful. Lastly to Ben for his hospitality and professionalism in helping to book us all in on Saturday night, it was a wonderful ending to all of our trip to beautiful Cardiff. Thank you all so much for making this possible, Kindest regards from Bob & Angela Brown

Here is a delightful venue for visiting Cardiff. We enjoyed a one night stay in a comfortable, spotlessly clean room followed by a freshly cooked delicious full Welsh breakfast. The owners and their team were friendly and most helpful. Ideally situated within a 10/15 minutes walk to the city through Sophia Gardens yet far enough out to be on a reasonably quiet main road. Plenty of non city centre pubs close by. Perfect venue for the cricket ground. We will return.

Stayed at the start of December, it wasn't in the actual hotel building itself it was in a separate building in the back courtyard which was accessible through the main dining room and conservatory. Out of hours there was a secure key gate and private walkway by the side of the hotel to go through. The room itself was clean and tidy. I stayed in a twin room which was perhaps a mistake as the duvet felt too small for the bed, although it would have been fine for a child, before you think it, yes I am medium build and height. Shower and toilets were fine. Very trivial things, batteries on the remote control didn't work and low stock on the teas and coffee in the room. Room was quiet other than being woken up by the bin lorry at 6.30am (Wednesday morning) but that wasn't the hotel fault. Staff were friendly, I would stay again but just choose a different room next time.

Stayed 2 nights. When we arrived there was no remote in the room, went down to reception and got a remote 10 minutes later. First morning breakfast was short staff, he did explain this. Cooked breakfast you have to order not help yourself which is disappointing. Second day lady said we couldn't have 7.30 breakfast as there was a big group booking and said is 7.15 ok. We said yes as it needed to be early as l was running the Cardiff half. Arrived at 7.15 to the restaurant to be told we didn't have a booking. Was told in not a very good manner to go to reception as she couldn't do anything.Went to reception where the lady who booked our breakfast for 7.:15 was and another member of staff was. She said she booked it in for 7.15 and then total ignored us and at no point said sorry. They left us standing there for 5 minutes after we explained the situation doing other paperwork. I had to then say what's happening then. At no point did anyone say sorry the only option they gave was a refund on the breakfast. I said l needed to have a breakfast as l was running the Cardiff half he took us back to the restaurant. The lady said we could take some food back to our room and l told her we was having a cooked breakfast back our room and she agreed but you could tell she didn't want to. At no point was this offered which would of made the situation better. Walking back to the room we saw 2 other couple's who had the same problem. After breakfast l did speak to the manager who came in at 7.30. Again no sorry just l will refund your breakfast and here is a card to complain. We e-mailed it took more the 15 days to reply which is the time frame they say. It took over 3 weeks. E-mail was a waste of time as the staff lied and said they told us to come down at 7.00 because of the big booking and we arrived at 7.15 when it was fully booked.Awful customer services at this hotel will not be returning again.
