"A recent renovation at this friendly B&B has left neutral tones and modern bathrooms in its wake. The proportions of the front rooms, while not strictly cathedral-like, certainly are generous."

"Rest your head at Cardiff’s oldest hotel. The Royal is a Grade II-listed hotel, which shows slight signs of wear and tear, but is still an attractive central stay with heaps of charm. "
Independent
"The ultra-central location means you’re close to Cardiff’s hottest bars...rooms are fresh, contemporary and a steal, given the modest price tag."
