Lonely Planet "Central Cardiff's five-star is housed in a new circular building that was built in the traditional style of pale stone, with views over the castle. The rooms are plush and comfortable,..."
Star Service "In the heart of the city, across from Cardiff Castle, a two-minute walk to Queen Street and 1 km northeast of the train station, this remains the largest hotel in town." Full review

"Plush beds, renovated bathrooms, and triple-glazed windows keep all 60 rooms comfortable and generally quiet. " Full review
Independent "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."
