Lonely Planet "Egyptian cotton sheets, goose-down pillows and fluffy bath robes contribute to a high pamper factor at this central boutique hotel... Just across the street from the train station."

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."
