Ultra friendly staff!

The staff at this hotel were incredibly friendly. The rooms were comfortable and the food was good.. I could not recommend this place a more. The manager who I cannot remember the name of was such a friendly lady and even refunded one of our rooms without us asking as we had a late cancellation..

Lovely comfortable clean room, bit of damp behind sink showing on wall, felt breakfast should be included in price, stayed middle of Cardiff with breakfast included 3 weeks ago, dining area very clean and presentable, back area a bit scruffy, friends had food there the night befor and said it was really good .

Room was in decent condition but being on the front of the building was quite noisy especially with the bells ringing every 15 minutes. Would have been nice if there was actually a member of staff around on check out as the whole bar and kitchen were just left wide open for anyone to help themselves to whatever they wanted

Clean, Cozy, and Full of Charm

Absolutely loved my stay at The Black Lion Royal Hotel. The room and bathroom were spotless and clearly very well looked after. The people at the reception are incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The English breakfast was delicious and freshly made each morning. Plus, the hotel’s pub has such a cute, cozy vibe, perfect for a relaxing evening. Highly recommend!

The dining area was lovely, and the breakfast was small, but very good. The bar area was good and there was ample parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful, although the housekeeping team and waitresses would benefit from some training. The bed was very comfortable, but the bedroom was lacking the niceties. It was however, good value for money. Lampeter itself is very small, and I fear for it, with its loos of the University.
