“Great food great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

I have returned to the royal hotel for the second time in 2 weeks .
I have found the food to be lovely and great value for money.
We have just had a lovely sunday meal and all 8 of us had a good time.
Only small gripe is that there in no corona at the bar which would make my night complete.
Will be back

“Great Place with great food.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Have stayed at the Royal Hotel on a few occasions now and have always found the staff friendly and very welcoming. It's a great hotel which is constantly updating and refurbishing its rooms and dining room/bar areas. The rooms are clean and have everything that you need for an enjoyable stay.

The food is excellent (they have recently appointed a new chef) with a great choice of meals in the evening at a very reasonable price. Breakfast is great with plenty of choices for everyone.
Will definitely be back in the future.

Room Tip: Rooms on the top floor are cosy and quiet - ideal for light sleepers

“Clean, Comfortable Rooms and a great Breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

I have stayed in the Royal 3 times, the last twice over the past two weeks on business. The Receptionist/waitress/barmaid is always very friendly and welcoming. I have stayed in the annexe and the main Hotel and my room has always been a good standard. The beds are very comfy and I have always enjoyed good nights sleep. The breakfast is good however, I wasn't as impressed with Dinner and would recommend dining in the excellent Laichmoray Hotel next door.

Room Tip: Some rooms only have a shower so if a bath is important to you, I would suggest requesting it.

“Couldn't have been better!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

I organised a golf trip for 14 friends, and found the Royal Hotel through the internet. The staff could not have been more helpful, the rooms were clean and the breakfast was just what we needed after a few too many beers the night before! All this for a very reasonable price. I would book here again without hesitation..

“Sumptuous Buffet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2011

We celebrated our Golden Wedding in the Royal Hotel with a magnificent buffet. Starting with champagne and canapes the buffet continued with caviar, delicious starters, huge Scottish langoustines, a selection of meats and salads, chef's special apple cake and creme caramel seved with Eiswein. All prepared and served by friendly, attentive staff. Must be the best in Elgin. DD
