Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service
Expensive but not worth it.
No room wifi.
No tv service even though the tv was mounted on a wall.
Tiny single beds
Noisy room
Expensive for what we got.
View consisted of looking out to walls. No view at all
Upon entering the hotel it is rather grand and beautiful, apart from the tacky flashing bush things in the porchway lol. The rooms are rather different beds are uncomfortable and dated myself and my wife asked for a double room , but found it was two single beds pushed together utter rubbish.Bathroom looked like someone had dyed there hair and the cleaner couldnt reach the splatters , cracked floor tile watch your feet. Noisy drunk neighbours knocked on our door at 1am. Enjoy your stay .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The Hotel has a classic design and the entrance hall is amazing.
Only interaction with staff was one minute to check in very smooth.
Very quiet and clean hotel.
Only issue was room, very cramped small and too much furniture.
A worry was the number of 4 so ket extension leads at least 3 and one plugged into another, not sure how safe this actually is.
Room was very warm (though was hot outside) but fan did nothing.
TV no signal.
I would stay again but with slightly lowered expectations

Lovely hotel, we’ve stayed before and the room we had was stunning. This stay was a basic room but very clean and tidy. The only downfall was the bed, it was very uncomfortable and you could feel every spring. We would stay again however, as it’s reasonably priced and in a great location.
The room was slanted not level and was like walking drunk very outdated smelly old mattress holes in walls room was smelly broken tiles in bathroom limescale all over bath and shower no parking cost me £29 on parking light switch behind a cupboard also opened the cupboard and an iron board fell on me
I was here on business, Dirty room, never seen a hoover, brown marks on bedding and a brown stain on one of my bath towels.
Cob webs in corners.
I was very disappointed
Me and my daughter had a lovely 4 days at the Royal or room was very nice it was very big and very clean it had 2 beds mine was huge and very comfortable my daughter had a single bed and hers was comfortable aswell.. we had a fan in the room which was nice as it was very warm.. there was an iron and ironing board aswell in the room.. wardrobe was massive.. bathroom was a good size and the shower over bath was powerful it was all nice and clean and nice and quiet.. the staff were lovely we didnt use the swimming pool so cant comment on that.. entertainment was good and the bar was well stocked i dont drink but for people who do it is good... i would definitely go and stay again.
On initial entering the property the reception and hall are very impressive. It is largely disappointing that the same cannot be said about the hotel rooms, which are in great need of upgrading. There is no parking available at the hotel free or otherwise.
I have stayed in this hotel previously & found the whole place in need of a total upgrade to bring it into the 20th never mind the 21st century. My room had severe damp on the outer walls, so much so the decoration was peeling from the wall. The bath had mould & the cleaners must never look at any of the appliances as the coffee machine drip tray was full of liquid.
