It is hard to believe that this establishment has been awarded 3 diamonds - in all my years of travelling I have never ever stayed in such a rundown establishment. The bedrooms / bathrooms / shower rooms are all in need of repair / decoration - indeed the bedding, with the excception of the sheets, need attention as well as... more

I stayed at Preste Gaarden for two nights when visiting a friend at her university and I absolutely loved it. I know Cardiff fairly well as used to live near there and Preste Gaarden is a short 20 minute walk into the city centre and Cardiff Castle, but it is just as easy to catch a bus as the bus... more

We really enjoyed our stay in this B & B. It was very comfortable and clean although the ensuite was a bit on the small side. The room itself was spacious with a table and a couple of chairs.

Our family of 5 stayed one night at Preste Gaarden. The en-suite room was clean, bright, and very large, accomodating all of us with an additional cot for our 2 year old. The host was helpful, friendly, and accommodating. It was about a mile from the city centre which was a fine walk for our family (other children 10 and... more

Apart... more

Was quite disappointed in this place: although friendly on the phone when I booked, the person who let me in (at night) had clearly had a bit to drink, and was a bit creepy. This creepiness was compounded by the fact that the lock on the my bedroom door did not work. The bathroom (across the hall) for my private... more

We had a great stay here, we had the family room with 2 great double beds in a very spacious room. (en suite) The breakfasts were substantial and we had tea,coffee and biscuits supplied every day in our room. It is also very well placed, with a short walk through the park to the main street in Cardiff. We would... more

I was greeted by very friendly hosts in the comfortable surroundings. My room was great. The rooms are small but very clean and well maintained. I loved my stay there on my first trip to Wales. more
