We really like this place. Really sweet, beautifully decorated, wonderful host/breakfast. BUT, they only take cash...be aware of that :-)...as they don't advertise that on booking.

We stayed in Rm 6, which is very light, as curtains are not lined, with some of them coming off the hooks at the ends, and the blinds are thin - I hooked the curtains back up myself and put chair backs against the curtains the restrict the light coming in for the second night. We were offered an alternative... More

Loaded with History. Cathedral Road is a flat 10 min walk from the City Centre. For Cricket fans this hotel is perfect...as near to Sofia Gardens as it is possible to be. I would stay here when I go to FlatHolm Island. FlatHolm Island now has overnight accommodation, you get there by Launch, from Penarth Barrage....which you can access from... More

Preste Gaarden is run by a friendly couple. They were welcoming and offered info about the area on arrival. The rooms are pleasantly decorated, with style and taste considered. It looks like the couple really care about their hotel. They had a lovely lounge downstairs with a Christmas Tree already up. The place was nice and quiet to get a... More

Me and my wife had a two night stay here in October and from reading the decription in the visit cardiff booklet we were not disapointed! The owner was so friendly and willing to help as much as possible and the room we had at the back of the property had its own balcony but due to the weather we... More

We were after a hotel that was within our student budget and after calling by phone got ourself a lovely deal on a room. We arrived early in the morning and was greeted by the owner who welcomed us in, offering us toast, tea and orange juice whilst his wife was arranging our check-in. As we arrived early our rooms...

The room rate had been increased because the rugby was in, but we weren't in Cardiff for the rugby, so that was slightly annoying. When we arrived, we were told that the best room in the hotel, which I had been told I was booking when I made my reservation, had been given to someone else in error. We were... More
