The Royal Hotel

Location

Bar staff very rude, especially short guy with pony tail. Ordered bottle of wine at bar & told no wine glasses available & was served wine in cocktail glasses. Table in bedroom wonky and every time I touched it things fell off. Everything felt old & needs major improvement

Previous visit excellent. This time room poor standard but clean

I have been staying at the Royal since I was 21, I am now 66. It was a 'posh' hotel in those days. Now it's jaded but holds many happy memories and I still go back. Sometimes I get lucky and the room is top notch, this time it was a cold room - the radiator needed bleeding. The bed springs were uncomfortable so 2 nights would have been better than 3. But having said that, how could I complain - where do you get a room only for 3 nights £153.00. At that price you just grin and bare it. The cleaner did a stirling job, room always looked clean and tidy.

The uncomfortable bed. Nope - you can't moan at the price we paid.

Not much!

The fire alarm went off at mid night, which was a false alarm. The entertainment went on until midnight, which was really loud, and we could feel the vibrations through the bed, and hear it. The beds were uncomfortable. The hotel used to be lovely years ago, and it's gone down hill, since brittanian hotels took it over. In the restaurant there were no drip trays in the milk and juice dispensers, and the tea bags are horrible. We're not going there again. The floor in our room was sloping too!
