We stopped here along with 3 other friends in June 2007, bar area was nice, friendly check in...and thats where the pleasant stuff stopped!! Myself and my huband got given a room on the top floor, which is up quite a few steep stairs (no lift) and the corridors were dirty, full of ciggy ends. Massive gap under the bedroom... more

Booked this hotel to attend a wedding and then checked trip advisor - was horrified at the comments and nearly cancelled the room. Glad I didn't as the hotel is nothing like the reviews posted last year. We stayed in room 112, it was large and beautifully decorated with a good sized en-suite and all the bathroom fittings were new.... more

Have just returned home, early, from a two night stay at the Royal. Should be called Faulty Towers with Noise! Checked into this building site and the first thing that hit me was the smell of urine. However found the rooms very nice but small. Although temperature was only around 60 degrees outside, room temperature was around 100 degrees. Hot... more

Just arrived back from a stay at this hotel and I had a lovely time. Check in and out went very smoothly. Four poster suite was perfect for husband and I, although if you are a light sleeper you will not get to sleep for the party going on in bar downstairs. You could always join in though as atmosphere... more

I stopped at this hotel with my girlfriend, which was meant to be for a 2 night stay as we had a wedding to attend nearby, unfotunately, due to the terrible experience we had, we moved elsewhere for the 2nd night as we could not put up with the place. Firstly, impressions were good, the place is centrally located, easy... more

The best thing about my stay was that it was for only one night. Arrived to a reception with the shutters down & nobody to check me in. When I eventually found someone I was begining to wish I hadnt. The room was dirty, peeling paint & a trowser press that hat a sticker stating that it was unsafe &... more

Collapsing curtain rails, dead bulbs, crazy showers, night club noise in the lower rooms... and instant coffee for breakfast, when they remember to boil the kettle. Hoteliers who show no love to their guests shouldn't expect any back. This place has suffered from at least a decade of serious cheapskating, in furnishing, maintenance, and staffing. The staff mean well, but... more

Stayed in May 2007... What a place.... Dont stay here if you want to sleep.. Loud music till 3 in the morning.. Room decoration was terrible.. However room was clean (the only good point).. To say the facilities are basic is an understatement.. Best of luck if you chose to risk staying here.. more

I stayed at the Royal Hotel during March and must admit I had a very pleasent stay. I found the staff very friendly and helpful and enjoyed my stay immenslely. The rooms were clean and tidy and proved a good nights sleep. I can highly recommend the Thai restaurant found downstairs in the Hotel and then on into the bar... more
