We have booked the room online thinking we are going to be staying at Royal Hotel. However on our arrival we have been told that we are being transferred to their another "property". The other place was not "royal" what so ever. "Golden Strand" was situated on the same road and was of much worse standard. I don't not really get the connection between the name "gold" and the real place...never mind.
The room was in the basesment, the smeel of dumpness was strong. Luckily we had a window. The room was small and the bed had only 1 blanket for 2 people. No quilt, but we were kindly given extra pillow, which was nice.
The radiator broke within 1st hour and the floor was flooded. This was however, effecietly repaired and thanks God the room was warm.
Do no hope for FULL ENGLISH breakfast that the hotel advertise. You will be offered 2 eggs in variety of forms: scrambled, fried, boiled... overwhelming really.
You can also enjoy a bowl of milk with cornflakes or a "vitality yoghurt".
On a positive note the staff was very helpful and friendly and the room and the bathroom were reasonably clean. Good location, but I would not come back and I would not recommend this place unless you enjoy that kind of adventuare.
