The bed was comfy and the shower very good. Unfortunately that’s where the good parts end. Room was ok, carpet not particularly clean and the room was not serviced. When I asked I was told that the beds were not made but towels and tea/coffee were replenished- this had not happened. We were all awoken at 5am with the unbelievable noisy bins being emptied. Food average and for a hotel not badly priced. Breakfast ok but little choice as far as healthy options were concerned.Staff very helpful and friendly on the bar but did not have a clue about drinks. Left white wine out on the counter so it was not cold and at £11 a glass this was not on. The bar was noisy in the evenings with loud music or sport on the screen so not relaxing at all. Overall this is set up for working people where the company pays for the stay so guest generally not too bothered about the quality of the stay. Would not stay again unless I had to on business.

Booked online a couple of weeks prior to attending a concert at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Usual script for the big hotel chains vastly inflate their prices. So started looking at smaller accommodation venues, and came across The Maltsters Arms Hotel. Arrived mid afternoon, and place was rammed with it being a sunny day, but staff on hand to immediately book us in. Room cleans and tidy, and couldn't ask for more. We walked into city centre its about 2.5 miles and 30-40 minutes, easy walk, either by road, or through the park. Keys were provided so that we could get back in after hours. There are two railway stations to Cardiff Central within 20 minutes walk of the hotel, but walking the whole way wasn't much further... and the queues in Cardiff after the concert were massive, so walked back, feeling totally comfortable/safe despite it being a city. Bed was a little soft for me, but it was comfortable, room has air conditioning, so a good nights sleep was had. Booked a breakfast as part of the initial booking, and it was really lovely 'full cooked breakfast' they don't call it an English, in Wales! Was tasty, hot, plenty of it, plenty of coffee on tap. Checking out was just as painless. Staff on booking in really helpful, and polite, same chap (Chris) served us breakfast, a credit to this place, he clearly puts some shifts in! Car park to the rear limited parking... TIP - your parking is including if staying you register your car at hotel reception. I had paid on the machine, no problem they instantly refunded... there had been signs, but it appears some had disappeared? Would i stay again, Absolutely! Next time we are in Cardiff will check for availability...

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.
