A short break in Cardiff.

The hotel is in a great location with shops and restaurants just across the road and a short walk to the river, plus with the bus stop right outside getting to the city centre was easy too. The bed was comfy and an excellent breakfast made it a refreshing stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice but not perfect.

I stayed at the Maltsters Arms earlier in the year and enjoyed my stay. I was greeted by a charming lady (with bright red hair) who showed me to my room and exclaimed that it was her favourite. Unfortunately, whilst an excellent size and plenty of facilities, the room was a little disappointing. The bathroom needed some refurbishment: a rusty grab handle, noisy fan and protruding screws. No bottles of bodywash or shampoo for the bath. No soap. The room also suffers from noise from the room above. Next time I will make sure to book a room on the first floor. Apart from the niggles, I advise that you book a table if you wish to eat as the restaurant gets busy. The lower area of the restaurant is used for a quiz night on Tuesdays which restricts the dining area even more. Excellent breakfast and, once again, served by pleasant staff. I would definitely return.

Night Away

Really friendly welcome on arrival. Staff were really helpful throughout our stay, nothing was too much trouble. Would like to give a big thanks to Chris who greeted us on arrival. Room was was really comfortable and we had everything we needed. Really enjoyed our meals, we had dinner in the evening and cooked breakfast in the morning. Couldn’t fault either. Good selection for breakfast - cooked, continental, omelettes, pancakes. Would definitely recommend Maltsters Arms, and would stay here again.

Great stay and staff

The young girl who checked us in could not have been more friendly and helpful. Actually really impressive in her attitude and way she dealt with staff and customers alike. Lovely room. Were it my hotel I would put mattress toppers on the beds as they are a bit tired. Lovely breakfast.
