A bit hit and miss, staff were super friendly but hotel is very dated, didn't opt for breakfast but looked like something out of Captain Scott's era himself, room was very comfortable, albeit difficult to get the temperature down via the Aircon, bathroom was fine, everything worked, although there was a dubious stain on one of the bed throws but I assumed positive intent on this occasion.

The Royal is a beautiful boutique hotel just a five minute walk from the train station. It is in the centre of Cardiff so close to everything. The staff are wonderful and friendly and the rooms are clean and provide you with all you need. Love staying here.

Could not fault the hotel, room was spotless & comfortable. Staff were so polite & friendly. Only one negative & that was the noise from outside, but understandable due to the area of hotel.
