Despite some very harsh reviews i decided to book into the Royal. My first impressions were how very friendly and helpful the staff were. The Royal is not a palace but it is clean, warm and comfortable. My room was upgraded without charge and had tea/coffee facilities, modern flatscreen (easy to use) TV and...wait for it...hot running water lol! Can... More

We stayed here for a family wedding. No sleep due to constant loud noise. Food was OK. Room very poor, no hot water in shower, unable to open windows, no phone...the list goes on. Stay anywhere but here it is truly awful. More

Stayed during mid week with colleagues. Shower didn't work, bathroom sink taps wobbly, black 'chiche' bedroom furniture covered in dust. No phone in room to ring down for assistance. Barman had massive issue serving drinks at 10:55pm, advising we would have to pay in cash only and take our drinks to our rooms. He obviously wanted to go home. Take... More

We booked the Royal assembly hall for my daughters naming ceremony. We held the ceremony there and then had a sit down dinner for 80 ppl. There was no one there on the day to be the event organiser and although the staff tried there best they had no one to give them any direction. I was told on the... More

I booked into the Royal Hotel to attend a function in the local area. Upon investigation, the Royal Hotel seemed to be suitably located and within budget. I phoned a week in advance to secure the room which was painless- the lady on the phone was helpful and friendly. I soon discovered that they do not accept American Express credit... More

If you want a good night's sleep then maybe this is not the best place to visit, especially at the weekend but if you want a wedding venue 'par excellence' then look no further than the Royal. We booked the Royal for our daughter's wedding on 17th December. She wanted a wedding that didnt have all the traditional fuss but... More

We had a lovely stay at the Royal. I was ideal for our wedding host - a one stop shop for the desire to entertain their guest. The hotel were able to provide comfortable rooms, pre wedding bar, very close to the church, very handy for train and town location for shopping. We returned from the church to a helpful... More
