A beautifully decorated hotel, warm, cosy with friendly staff in a very central location and at a reasonable price. A warm bedroom, comfortable beds, plenty of drawers & wardrobe space, lovely bathroom with toiletries supplied. The hotel has a nicely decorated bar area & the most stunning wood-panelled breakfast room with historical significance of Scott of the Antarctic - and served an excellent quality breakfast. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Hotel's Favourite
After a disturbed nights sleep at another hotel the previous night, I called The Royal early on the day of arrival to ask for a quiet room. I was placed in a large room on the top floor and had a very comfortable, peaceful night - thanks! There is a small 'unloading' area on Westgate Street behind the Royal where guests/luggage can be dropped off and a quick 'U' turn takes you back to the Westgate NCP (entrance on Quay St - just 5 mins walk/1 min drive from the hotel). The hotel is located VERY conveniently for the main shopping/pub/restaurant area, and adjacent to the Millenium and Cardiff Arms Park stadia. Friendly, helpful reception staff made this hotel a firm favourite for a return visit - highly recommended.

The Royal is excellent value for money- the staff are friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable, and the location is superb! Wouldn't consider going anywhere else! The buffet style breakfast includes plenty of choice, and having nearby parking included in the price was a huge bonus.

I have stayed at this hotel several times now and can't imagine ever staying anywhere else when I visit Cardiff. The location is great, not far from a car park and just across the road from the lovely Victorian arcades. It's perfectly located for shopping, the Principality Stadium, the castle and the water taxi down to the bay is only a 10 minute walk away in Bute Park. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable and very clean.
