Lovely place, definitely will stay again, had food and recommend the Ceasar salad. Room was spacious with a very smart en-suite, a little road noise with the window open but the double glazing works very well

Great location for the Cathedral at the other end of the high street and we stayed in the wonderful Llandaff Cathedral Family Room. wonderful shower and very comfortable bed. Excellent classic cooked breakfast (meat & vegan). But best of all was the service from Chris, Ben and the rest of the team (sorry forgotten the young ladies names) we had two great evening meals and our fellow choristers also enjoyed the food and drink (they were staying at the uni) Excellent pints of Rev James (perhaps had too many!!) Great to have secure free parking too. Thank you!

The room we were given had a king bed. The Millennium room" The mattress was well and truely past it's useby date, I'd say by 10 years. Appearance the bed had a huge dip in the middle. Sat on the side of the bed. There was no way we were sleeping on this bed that night. We felt all the way down to the wooden bed base! Telling the young girl that checked us in about the lack of mattress she appeared dumb, I don't normally work in accommodation side. She rang the manager and we were given another room " The Bute" the bed was fine.
A review going back December 2023 had the same view about the mattress.
I don't for the life of me understand why a mattress like this would still be in use. The only reason is that no care has gone into the accommodation side. The pub meal was so so, and the staff were not enthusiastic. They asked if we had a booking and when we said we were staying here they sat us. Said they were running out of stock.

Modern, clean boutique room. Helpful staff. Great food. Trivial downside - a couple of dining room windows cobwebbed with dusty blinds but wouldn’t deter us from staying again

All good, Nice place to stay. Comfy bed. Had to move the desk from the end of the bed because I am tall and did not want to knock the TV off in the night. The wetroom is a bit damp as there is no window or fan. overall great.

The Maltster's Arms is clean and comfortable. The area it is located in is really beautiful, with lots of historic buildings, nice little gift shops and excellent restaurants and cafes. I can highly recommend staying here.

It was a very pleasant stay in Llandaff for a couple of days. The room was comfortable, good value for money and food was available at an extra cost. Staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
I had no issues with my stay and I would be happy to stay there again.

The staff went out of their way to make our stay perfect. We needed a place to store our luggage while we toured the city waiting for our train. They allowed us to leave the bags in the room and if they needed the room Ben offered to store them in his personal room. When we needed a cab, they made the calls for us. It was a really nice stay and I'd recommend it for anyone.

Stayed here while dropping my son at Uni. Was really convenient (25 min walk) to his digs in Tally South. Free parking was the initial reason I booked and was great, easy to access and felt secure. Check out time being 11am also meant I could run Cardiff Parkrun and grab a shower before leaving. The accommodation is above a pub but you wouldn’t know as it was quiet and easy to access via a side door so no need to go through the pub. Food at the pub was great and reasonably price. Staff really welcoming. Five stars, would stay again.
2.5 / 5.0
Wonderful pub in Wales with wonderful accommodation, great staff, and great food in the restaurant. Would stay here again in a heartbeat, with additional dining options nearby. This is what a pub-stay should be.

Lovely room. Amazing bath and water pressure! The bed was super comfy, we had a great night sleep.
Staff really helpful and accommodating.
2.5 / 5.0
Lovely break in the heart of the village of Llandaff. We had a room at the front which we liked as it had a view of the High Street and the Cathedral Spire. With windows open it was very noisy, which didn’t worry us at all. Rooms at the back are much quieter but no view at all.
Greg, the manager, was very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay All staff very friendly. We ate in the restaurant on one night, which was very good. Several good restaurants within 5 minutes walk which we also sampled and would recommend as well.
Will definitely return
