My partner and I stayed here for one night and found it to be a bargain. If you are looking for modern fixtures and a boutique style this place is not for you! The room was clean, shower hot and breakfast great. The only problem we had was the strange lock on room door! More

The hotel itself isn't that bad... it's tired, dated and the rooms could do with a deep clean and a refurbish but if you do end up staying here avoid the restaurant at all costs! We visited as a group of 20-30 and were told we couldn't move the tables around to sit together since the restaurant was full all... More

cant imagine why the royal should get much bad review.My impression was one of old world charm. call it a classic hotel and a good one,clean tidy and comfortable. The only downside I could find,was that the bedding was a bit heavy on top covers which prevented a lot of sleep even though you could turn off the rads. Its... More

Recently stayed in The Royal Hotel with my daughter for a few days staff friendly and helpful, rooms comfortable but whole hotel needs a dire overhaul More

The first thing that meets guests arriving at this hotel is the smell of cooked fish and a musty, uncared for odour. The carpets all over the hotel are filthy,no cheer anywhere, not even a vase of flowers to brighten up the reception area, never mind anywhere else.

I asked for scrambled eggs - Disgusting eggs floating about in cream. Gave it another try the next morning, asked for scrambled eggs without loads of cream, they gave me a plate of microwaved...

We recently stayed at the Royal. It was a spur of the moment visit to Thurso and we got the details of the hotel from the Visit Scotland website. We paid £70.00 for a double room with the smallest en suite I've ever seen. A shower and a toilet. The sink was on the other side of the room. As... More

I stayed at the Royal Hotel during September (2011). The staff were absolutely lovely, the food, well, we were hungry and they fed us. It is such a shame as the hotel has so much potential. If I had the opportunity to give this hotel a face lift, the list of what I'd do would be endless. I really cannot... More

This hotel is very out of date. Public areas and corridors are filthy and very worn out. We paid £63 bed and breakfast for a double room and expected a basic but clean hotel. We were sadly wrong. I dont think the hotel owns a hoover judging by the state of the carpets. The room was small (could hardly open... More
