Historic pub hotel in Llandaff village with free parking

Historic Building

Maltsters occupies a site with a building since 1310 and could be the oldest licensed pub in Cardiff. The current inn has been refurbished with a modern style while retaining its historic character. Individual bedrooms are styled with their own decor, and the pub serves a range of Real Ales.

Rooms

Each of the 8 rooms at Maltsters has its own name in Welsh, such as Castle Coch, and individually styled decor. Bedrooms include a bath and rain shower, a Nespresso machine, and free WiFi. Family rooms offer space for groups, and tea and coffee making facilities are standard in every room.

Dining

The pub menu at Maltsters offers classic pub food with specials that change regularly, including a popular Sunday lunch. Breakfast is available for purchase and includes options like a full cooked breakfast, omelettes, and pancakes. The bar area hosts quiz nights on Tuesdays and occasional cabaret evenings, which require advance booking.

Location

Llandaff Cathedral is a 2-minute walk from the hotel, and St Fagans National Museum of History is close by. Cardiff city centre is about 2 miles away, with a bus stop across the road for direct access. The hotel provides ample free on-site parking, a significant advantage for guests driving into the city.

Amenities

Maltsters offers free WiFi throughout the property and a designated smoking area. The hotel has family rooms and is non-smoking throughout, with private check-in and check-out. Security measures include CCTV in common areas and outside, plus smoke alarms and a security alarm.
