Maltsters Arms Hotel

A truly magnificent building.
It is light inside with beautiful stained glass windows and very modern sculpture which really adds to the experience.
The only thing I would request would be some labels alongside the tombs so the different people could be more easily recognised.

My wife and I travelled to Cardiff from N Wales with our daughter so she could have a operation at the University Hospital of Wales. We booked to stay at the Maltsters Arms Hotel. I am disabled and on arrival we were treated like royalty by all off the staff. Our room was of the highest standard and the food was excellent in the hotel. We had to leave early as our daughter was discharged sooner than we had expected. The hotel manager Greg was so helpful and sorted out a refund for us.
I can only say a huge thank you to Greg and all his staff and from my experience would recommend The Maltsters very highly. Once again thank you Greg and your team.

Great dog friendly pub that does excellent roast dinners on Sundays. It's very popular, so probably best to book! Their puddings are remarkable, the biscoff and gingerbread ice-cream Sundae comes in a pint glass, probably wise to share😁

Another fantastic little pub with well above average rooms and great meals. Well worth a visit!

Visited for the first time and won't return. Found the place to be somewhat run down and grubby. Very slow service. Wrong drinks order received. Took an additional 30 mins to receive correct order. Told to go to bar to order a second drink during our meal. Found our waiter to be dismissive and rude. Attempted to resolve issues whilst there with a senior member of staff, but they too were disinterested and wouldn't even listen to complaint. Gave up. I don't know, perhaps we caught them on bad day! Shame really as the food was tasty.

Perfect! Everything about my stay has been amazing. Esme who checked me in made me feel really welcome. The room was wonderful (Llandaff Cathedral); loads of room, plenty of places to put things, loads of plugs, lovely big bathroom and super comfy bed. The room had been left toasty and warm when I arrived and it was spotless. The parking is free for guests and the bar staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was great. I was staying for a girlfriends wedding and this was just right. Thank you!

On a Christmas lunchtime we where refused a drink at the empty bar by very unfriendly young girl ! She was chatting with her friend and without Greeting us or saying Merry Christmas she shuttered at us “No you can’t stay at the bar and can’t have any drink and can’t sit anywhere we are fully booked “ then turn her back and carry on chatting!!
Very disappointed and kind of feeling insulted by the rude attitude we left and took few photos of the empty Bar area which was clearly not fully booked! In fact they where not other tourists except us visiting ! We where at Christmas Day mass in the famous Llandaff Cathedral and since the Maltsters arms is on the way we just wanted to have a Christmas cheers at the bar and go !
Instead we got unfriendliness and attitude!
Thank you Maltsters Arm but we can’t recommend the restaurant after this unpleasant Christmas experience!!
We don’t know how the hotel staff is but if they had the same training like the girls at the bar we would not want to stay in !!!

Stayed one night. Excellent room, spacious and very very clean.
Staff were very friendly and competent
The evening meal in the bar was first class
Wife had the best burger ever
The penderyn and chicken liver pate was delicious
Overall a very pleasant experience
Highly recommended.
