The Royal Hotel Cardiff

Decent sized room, lots of wardrobe space! Very efficient heating system, warmed up nice and quickly! Shower nice and powerful, decent size bathroom. Staff very friendly and welcoming and super helpful . Superb price for a city centre hotel, good value for money!

Perfect location in the very centre of the city and all the pubs, restaurants and shops close by, lovely staff, very comfortable beds. Rooms were very large with plenty of storage space. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room as well as ironing board and hairdryer. Bathroom had body wash, shampoo & Conditioner.

The hotel was centrally located with literally everything around us—pubs, cafes, shops, a castle, shopping centres, bus and train stations, an arena, and more. I was initially worried about noise, but thanks to the double windows, we didn't hear anything from the streets, even during Advent weekend. The staff was friendly, and the cleaners did a great job. The check-in/out process was quick and easy. We had a bath and shower 2-in-1, which was a great feature for me. The room came with three pillows of different softness levels and an amazingly soft but warm duvet. Breakfast was lovely, with a wide variety of ingredients. The hotel also had a bar with a nice view of the shopping street. Another great point was that we could enjoy food we ordered from outside in the comfort of the bar. Highly recommended!

Location is excellent, especially because we don’t drive and travelled by train. Even though the hotel is in the town centre it’s so quiet and relaxing inside. The room we stayed in was lovely and had everything we needed. The breakfast was lovely. Sunday there was a great selection and was topped up regularly. The pastries were delicious. Great selection of jams and other condiments. Having a fridge in the room was excellent and very useful. The bed was very comfortable. We loved our stay at the hotel.

Definitely, the location. Almost everything is within walking distance (i.e., the Victorian + Edwardian arcades, Cardiff Castle, National Cardiff Museum, bars, restaurants, etc.). We loved our room; it was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast selection and liked the dining area (i.e., it had a small area dedicated to Capt. RF Scott, a British navy officer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions).
