Recommended inn close to Llandaff Cathedral

Stayed one night at The Maltsters and was very happy with the experience. Clean and comfortable room, strong wifi, free parking, excellent evening meal and breakfast, friendly and helpful staff.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is in a great location, and our room was spacious and comfortable (Millenium Stadium) which was right next to the exit and made it very easy to come and go. We had lunch there and the food was delicious, although the service got very slow after our first course, so we didn't order dessert, although we did want one. We were a little disappointed that the bar closed at 10pm, as by the time we got back from the event in the Cathedral, it was too late to have a nightcap. Breakfast was delicious, and we would highly recommend. All in all, a very nice stay and we would go back.

Great pub stay.

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.
