    "Nice, but not as impressive as 2 years ago." (108375043)

    Stylish.

    Looking a bit shabby, especially my room. TV pretty ropey.

    "Extremely disappointing having paid for a delux room you expect more value for money and a better quality of facilities than a normal room." (108216112)

    Young man on reception desk Helpful more mature lady at breakfast

    The bed was not a true double/kingsize - it was two singles zipped together and you could feel the join. The robes supplied had broken belt loops, they were in no way luxurious, were hard and scratchy and mismatched. The extractor fan in the bathroom was not working. There was black mould around the shower door, around the bath and at the lower end of the wall above the bath. The mould and dirt behind the taps showed signs of being there for a long time. There were no shower caps available. Cheap toilet paper was supplied. The TV was extremely small and although LCD was not good quality, there were limited channels as Sky had apparently not renewed the contact due to poor credit record. The sheets, we're not sure if they were Egyptian cotton, had holes in them. The room was noisy, despite "Triple Glazing", with sounds of very late revelry being heard clearly from the street. There was no view as windows were high up and outside one was dirty. Scuff marks on floor and walls. Female member of staff - on reception - was rude when we asked about facilities and even argued with us when we questioned things, showed no respect at all.

    "Very satisified. Great location. Great staff." (108826279)

    When I made a complaint of our room, it was attended to quickly and efficently, and with very good grace. We got moved to a superior room, and were given a free programme of the sporting fixture we were to attend.Also when I needed food heated up in the microwave, they were happy to do so.

    Having to ring the door bell every time you wanted to come into the hotel.

    "Good." (108911431)

    The location of the hotel is convenient to travellers. The price is reasonable.

    The smell of smoke was still found in the non-smoking room. The computer / internet facility is suggested.

    Great location near station and modern and comfortable room with desk and chair.

    New staff on duty in morning which was not bad just printed bill on plain paper

    "Staff was not very attentive to our needs." (108417862)

    Great location. Charming building

    Room next to very noisy air conditioners on roof. No iron in room; when requested did not arrive for 12 hours. Scheduled wake-up call did not happen.

    Central, clean.

    Very poky little room with sloping ceiling - would have been livid if I had paid their rack rate for this. Parking cost £6.50 and was a 5 minute walk away.

    Lovely decor, very helpful and friendly receptionist, very clean room, location

    Lift out of order when we arrived, room a little small and dark

  • 6/10 Matthew ( Jong paar) 

    van Port talbot , GB  op  1 september 2009

    Excellent standard of room furniture.

    Surface dust on desk, side tables. - Should have been cleaned before giving us the room. Website told us parking available at local NCP at £6.50 but be warned there are two local NCP car parks. Make sure you park in the correct one or pay 12.00 parking charge.

    "Good except rather noisy at night due to busy city centre location. There was a festival going on in the town at the weekend so it could have been busier than usual." (108576683)

    Pleasant staff and hotel, clean

    Difficult to find the hotel because address given as 10 does not fit with the numbering on the road, should be about 80. Car parking expensive in NCP car park

    Excellent location, good breakfast

    The room was almost too big, and with hardwood floors it felt larger and less comfortable.

    Ref.continental breakfast,meats and cheeses should have been covered to avoid contamination by flies!

    "A very enjoyable stay. Good location. Nice furnishings. Good breakfast. Great service. A good value. Would recommend to others." (107587523)

    Good location near train, bus, destinations. Room well furnished. Good storage. Very helpful staff.

    Window was open and we didn't realize there was air conditioning until we were checking out. This was probably our mistake, but we assumed since the window was open that it didn't have any since most small hotels and b&b's don't in UK.

    van Pembroke , GB  op  30 juni 2009

    "You will probably delete this review due to all of my bad points. I don't normally complain about stuff but overall the stay at Cardiff Royal Hotel was poor and expensive I thought." (107351063)

    Staff were very helpful and efficient good shower breakfast

    dirty windows, dirty walls in room, no spare pillows. Not double glazed and very noisy until 3a.m. outside so not too much sleep. The hotel is very hard to find and access the reception. Entrance lobby shabby - I certainly did not think the room was value for money at £215 per night. I will not stay there again

    excellent central location,contemporary spacious furnished rooms, good food,excellent customer service (vouchers and wine in room on arrival) helpful and happy staff makes staying at hotel a pleasure.

    slighty noisy due to bars not a problem to us but might be to families with children

    Location

    Internal Room, queue at breakfast, bar expensive

  • 8/10 Paul ( Volwassen paar) 

    van Portsmouth, hants , GB  op  19 juni 2009

    "Expected alot more for £200 plus per night" (107612840)

    Room very comfortable and position of hotel

    Breakfast service on the morning of our stay was chaotic.A high number of guests were staying due to the Take That concert, but the management did not appear to make any arrangements for the number of guests present. Tables were not cleared ,food was short and plates were not available. After complaints from guests, every manager seemed to appear to help out.

    "Shoddy generally, with many details overlooked - such as the pillows which had been a specific request. For nearly £200 for the night, the service and general experience was far lower than I would have expected." (107636390)

    The bed was a good size, and the bathroom was clean.

    I had requested non-feather filled pillows and was assured this was met - it wasn't, and when I noticed this late that evening I was felt to be a nuisance asking for them to be replaced. The TV handset didn't work, the window could not be closed fully which meant we were kept awake by the street noise with no offer to change room etc. Room service took over an hour for 2 sandwiches, crips and a pizza, and the breakfast was sparse with most items used up by 9.30 am - many guests complained about this. I requested a twin and got a double room.

    "I've sent a letter to the hotel direct with some feedback." (107447844)

    great location, good rooms, comfy bed, friendly staff

    room cleaning not good enough, customer service poor (I think through lack of supervision and customer service awareness, not through being unpleasant in any way), not informed of car park closure

    "Good clean hotel" (107573649)

    "A very pleasant stay. We have stayed at the Royal before, and we will certainly stay there again. Thank you!!" (107828543)

    Staff were extremely helpful and organised. Due to us having arrived early in the morning, we were able to leave our luggage with them in a safe place until we were able to check-in. The same thing on our day of departure, we were able to leave our luggage again until we were ready to go home.

    "Not so good as their stated in their webpages." (107643290)

    The staff in the breakfast room was friendly and nice.

    The reception staff was quite impolite. The cleaness of the hotel was not `high standard´. There were only lifts (i.e. no stairs) to get in and out of the hotel.

    Clean hotel, in a good central position for the City Centre.

    Small rooms. Rooms could be noisy at the front of the hotel. Lift was out of order - difficult carrying luggage from 4th floor

    "Good, but expensive at £95 per night for B&B." (107549714)

    Comfortable and tidy, close to station and courts where I worked. Wide variety of restaurants close by for dinner.

    Slight smell in shower caused (??) by non working extractor fan. Breafast menu did not really accord with what was on offer. For example, I chose a tea which was said to be available which was not.

    listed as having been refurbished, this was clearly a long time ago and another refurbisment is urgently required. The small plazma in the deluxe room could hardly be seen from the bed.

    UNFORTUNATLY MY ELDERLY PARENTS WERE GIVEN A FIFTH FLOOR ROOM AND BY PICTURES OF THEIR ROOM I WAS QUITE UNHAPPY THAT THEY COULD NOT GET TO THEIR BED COMFORTABLY, ONLY SIDEWAYS!, NOT AT ALL HOW THE ROOMS WERE DISPLAYED ON THE WEBSITE

    Overall impression of building (internal/external) reflected in lack of continual maintenance.

    NCP car park was quite expensive a bit of discount negotiated by the hotel would not have gone amiss.

    "The hotel is very pleasant but shouldn't really be marketing itself at the luxury market." (107646808)

    The design of the hotel was very chic and modern. The room and the hotel looked exactly like the photographs used to advertise it. Staff were always available and polite. The quality of the food was good.

    The lift was out of order during our stay and we were on the seventh floor - no attempt was made to offer us another room. They did offer to carry our luggage. The heating had been set to high on our first night so the room was far too hot, you are able to turn this down though. The hotel is excellently located for Cardiff City Centre, unfortunately Cardiff City Centre is over run by drunken students at the weekend who are noisy. Although the aesthetics of the hotel were excellent the quality of the fixtures and fittings were more Ikea than luxury modern hotel.

    "After the initial bathroom incident, the Duty Manager on that evening was very fast to respond to the situation and get the room cleaned as soon as possible and offered us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience and apologised for the lack of cleaning service." (107947518)

    comfortable bedroom, great location

    when we got to our room and went to use the bathroom, the toilet had not been cleaned at all. It was extremely dirty, either the sewage pipe had blocked or it just had not been cleaned in general, it was extremely disturbing and disgusting. Lack of signage to the 4th floor, hotel is a bit like a maze. Breakfast room, not very welcoming, food selection was limited
