10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel and location

Comfortable, even though the building is old. The entrance to the hotel is a bit weird, a mix of stairs + lifts, but they make it clear to everyone. The staff was very helpful.

Exceeded my expectations!

Even though from the outside, the building looks a bit rough, it is really nice inside! Would book myself again into The Royal without any hesitation should the need arise. Very good quality breakfast, nice rooms. Recommended!

Overrated - avoid

A bit run down. On a main street so noisy and the area is not very safe. Claimed to be a double bed but it was just two single mattresses joined together. Pretty disappointing.

Hotel ideally situated
Alan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed a lovely one night stay, staff were very helpful and accommodating. Room was excellent. Perfect location. Definitely book again and would highly recommend to others.
Elaine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Sad single

I booked the 'sad single' (OK, twin) room and got the usual. It seems to be a feeling amongst hotel owners that, if you're travelling alone, you'd really like a view of the air conditioning. My room had a minute window with a view of nothing. Otherwise, generally clean and comfy, and the staff were friendly and helpful. But the room wasn't a selling point.
Graham, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location to transport and tourist sites.
Galen A., 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was a lovely lovely stay , staff were great the room was great. It would have been nice to be able to lower the temperature less than 14° without having to call reception but it was a great stay regardless
Moni, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel with some extra nice touches to our room
Christina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value hotel

Very central location close to shops and train station. Great value given size of the room and price of the breakfast. Enjoyed having choice of a bath and a shower plus being able to follow easy controls on air conditioning. Unfortunately the bed was not the most comfortable, the tea urn didn't ever get hot enough to make quality tea- and there were a lot of stairs!
John, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Awful: So Noisy Until 3am

We stayed on a Saturday night with a room that overlooked the high street. The bars were open with really loud music and front doors open until 2am and there was a karaoke busker with a speaker in the high street right outside with crowds singing and the speaker on max until 3am. We are not old and love a night out but the hotel could have warned people that they basically couldn't get any sleep at the weekend in we had a room that overlooked the high street. We definitely not stay again.
