I stayed in this hotel for one night before going to a conference in the (out of my price range) Hilton. The room was lovely, clean and had everything I needed. Also quiet thanks to the double glazing, as I was overlooking a few pubs and bars. Excellently located close to the station and the city centre. Staff friendly and... More

Stayed at the Royal Hotel for one night. The hotel is in a perfect location within the city centre but our room was very quiet as we were located on the 7th floor. The room is decorated to a good standard although our room was very small and badly planned out. Our room rate included breakfast which is cooked to... More

Beautiful hotel and decor. Perfect location in the city centre, there is a bar directly below the hotel which isnt a problem but by 10pm we could hear the music from below even though we were on the 4th floor so keep this is mind if you're a light sleeper. we had a veautifully decorated spacious twin room- cant fault...

We stayed here for our first wedding anniversary and it was a perfect base to explore Cardiff from. Very central (but not noisy) and deceptively spacious. Very nicely decorated and comfortable. We were room only so can't comment on catering but they do make fab cocktails. More

I stayed at the Royal last week. Hotel is immaculately clean, and rooms are very comfortable. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming, they go out of their way to make your stay perfect. If you have any requests for the room, this is carried out immediately. A special mention to Anthony one of the waiters who serves breakfast,... More

Stayed with my wife on a Saturday night and this hotel really exceeded our expectations. We were quite concerned from some of the reviews on here, but we shouldn't have worried. The staff were excellent, welcoming and genuine and the room was fabulous. We stayed on the 6th floor, and the room was finished to a very high standard, with... More

I stayed in the Royal for 2 nights in December on business. It is a great location for those requiring a central hotel. Note that it is in the pedestrianised area and cannot be accessed by car. There is no parking available so you must used a nearby NCP car park at £20 per night or use the Cardiff Rugby... More

Fantastic location, nice looking rooms and general look of the hotel! We stayed 2 nights over new year and the price was good for what we got. Only 3 negative aspects were the fact we had a 'double' room which was actually 2 singles pushed together and you could feel the gap between the 2. We couldn't open the windows... More
