"Elegant small hotel restored in Victorian style: button-leather couches, heavy brocade and even a couple of four-poster beds. Classy lounge bar for residents. £90."

"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 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."
