The Royal Hotel Cardiff

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Hotel is so near to everything in the city centre. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice from gres fruit, cheese, cereal and of course, cooked, room even better. We had a twin room, which felt like we had our own little annex as it was down its own little corridor... lovely. Would definitely stay again when next in Cardiff.

Lovely hotel, everything it says it is. All the convenience and trappings of the usual chain hotels/rooms but done that little bit nicer, and for a competitive price. Breakfast was excellent, the room lovely and staff very friendly and helpful. Would def stay there any time visiting Cardiff. Discounted parking close by was a bonus as we needed the car this time but also close to the train station.

Super hotel - large room, good bathroom wide range of food at breakfast. Despite being in town centre very quiet. great location for Principality Stadium, Castle, shops and Bute Park. Walkable distance to the Bay Friendly and helpful staff. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely big room and large bathroom. Comfy bed. Room had plenty of storage, a safe, iron and board and tea and coffee. It is quite a few storey's walk to the reception, however, there is a lift, you can utilise. Staff were helpful and friendly. Would stay again!

An absolute hidden gem - from the outside the hotel looks deceptively small, but once you get to the 2nd floor you appreciate just how large the hotel is. The reception staff were extremely efficient, and the rooms clean, tidy and (most importantly given its location in the city) sound-proofed. Bed was extremely comfortable, and the room was warm at all times. The only slight criticism (and it is very slight!) was the lack of vegan/vegetarian offerings for the cooked breakfast - while the staff were extremely proactive and knocked up a couple of vegetarian sausages for us, it would have been nice if there were other alternatives such as Quorn bacon and sausage available on request. However, we understand that this is not something that the hotel would need to cater for on a regular basis, and it did not detract from the great selection of food available at the breakfast servery. If you are looking for a great place to stay in the city centre then I heartily recommend this hotel; there is an NCP Car Park that is opened 24/7, and is full access controlled and monitored - the hotel provides a discount code which significantly reduces the cost of an overnight stay. All in all a great hotel, and a special thank you to the barman who was on on Saturday night who was happy to serve us despite the fact for most of the time my partner and I were the only ones in the bar!

Had a long weekend as it was a rugby match, hospitality provided by staff was excellent, Eva made us most welcome with her charm as did all the staff, bar staff although under pressure because of demands coped well to serve their patrons. Room was excellent as was attention to detail by support room service staff, overall we as a family group will give it a 10.

Cinema room would of liked usb plug next to bedside table loved surround sound and huge TV wernt fussed on chairs maybe sofa would been better nice and quiet it was like like we were only guests the breakfast was lovely I liked 3 diffrent toasters

The location is perfect for central Cardiff. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the room was super clean. Breakfast was also good. The only negatives were it’s noisy (as with any city centre location). I could hear base music from a neighbouring club up to midnight (but my colleagues room next door didn’t suffer this). My shower room in room 320 had a broken extractor fan and non-heated towel rail, causing an existing damp smell that also hung around the main bedroom. In short, if you get room 319, that’s perfect but if you get 320 you get average.

This is my 5th stay here, and each time is as lovely as the last. I go here every year for work and it's always a very comfortable stay in the heart of Cardiff. Staff are always very nice, place is always stunning and the beds, comfortable! 10/10 would recommend.
