I held my 30th birthday party here in December 2011 and after having seen previous reviews, I was a bit apprehensive. However we had a great evening and I need not have worried. We booked most of the rooms and they were all to a high standard, much better than I expected to be honest. The photos on their website... More

Once you've negotiated the tricky one-way approach into the small hotel car park, and the picnic sets for the smokers, you go through the rear entrance, to the rather dark and gloomy interior. It's immediately apparent that the whole hotel is in need of some serious capital investment. The decor and furnishings in the public areas are shabby and grubby.... More

Staff were very friendly and helpful, room and en-suite was clean, tidy and well presented. Breakfast was tasty and ample amount. Free car parking. Unfortuantely we didn't get to spend too much time in the Hotel due to being at another venue for a wedding, however we would return. More

This hotel is one of the few hotels in Royston and it is clear that the hotel owners made a deal on the price setting. The Old Bull Inn is basically a large pub with some hotel accommodation. The rooms are reasonable with all standard facilities. The breakfast is very poor. Staff is not very friendly but that is probably... More

Quaint building, good location, generally friendly staff. All good. But given the price of the hotel, it's the little things that count. We arrived in a blizzard and had to dig ourselves out of the entrance to the hotel parking lot before even going in. The window in the bathroom had been left open and there was snow all over... More
