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.

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.

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..

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
