The location of this hotel is great - close to the restaurants, the castle and the stations, but that's about the only good thing I can say about this place. I had a single room, and it's possibly one of the smallest I've seen (see photo). Not only the room was small, the bed was not even properly made (again,... more

As Lancashire around the area Garstang and Carnforth is my favourite place in England, I decided to spend a last minute break in Lancaster as a treat. We chose the Royal Kings Arms because of its location, as a last minute booking and ease. I had previously stayed in other Best Western hotels and thought none could be worse than... more

Am working my way thru' Lancaster hotels. In the £35 range for a single person this is good value - nicer than the b & b's, travelodges. Room top floor, quite large for a single, great staff, includes a good breakfast. However, all 1970s decor, room smelled of damp a bit (hope that is what it was). Dogs allowed and... more

The hotel was a great couple nights stay while my daughter and I got her set up at the University. The rooms were clean. I loved the small old world elevator - lift. This hotel is centrally located to downtown Lancaster, the train 5 min walk and buses out front. Cabbies were very informative and helpful. We went to an... more

After reading some of the reviews we were concerned that the hotel would not be good. We had made a last minute booking, an excellent price, perfect location and thought, well for one night we would be ok. It was far more than ok. The staff were brilliant, friendly and had great local knowledge, recommending sites to visit (and pubs).... more

I was travelling to Lancaster in order to visit the university on the open day, and because of the long train journey involved we had decided to stay overnight. We picked the Royal King's Arms because of it's proximity to the train station and central location in the city, as well as the good price shown (especially as it included... more

Stayed in hotel with large party for 4 days, had a family room, the rooms are adequate in size, however both beds are pull out beds and very uncomfortable, room not cleaned throughout stay and bed only made once. Certain members of staff were very rude and totally disinterested. This hotel should be given a very wide berth. more

We chose this hotel due to its central location which was good. Although we were very dissappointed with the overall impression especially the decor which was old and tired. Dark old room with very dated bathroom. Dickensian lift with parking spaces doubled up in nearly half the spaces so as to ensure being blocked in by other guests.Only saving grace... more

Once again stayed here with work and it is a brilliant location out the front door and your slap bang on lancaster high street so no need to drive to town and navigate the one way system just to get a bite to eat or go shopping. The car park is very small which can be a problem to find... more
