We got a cheap deal through wotif so weren't expecting much but as we were only staying one night we didn't mind. When we got there we were very confused as there were no signs to say where to check in - it turns out you have to check in with the bar staff at the bar which felt a... More

We too stayed at this hotel to minimize the driving to the zoo... Worst decision ever!! After finally figuring out where to check in and being told to there was no allocated parking and good luck getting a space we get to our rooms! Although rooms are nice that's where it ends! We were advised that there is a bar... More

There was no light in the bathroom, obviously an oversight with the renovation, so I had a plug in lamp on the floor. This made it... More

We stayed a night in one of the first floor rooms. Very comfortable bed and the room was nicely decorated. Extremely noisy however when ever someone used the bathroom in an adjourning room.

Stayed at the Royal Hotel for 1 night while passing thru Gympie. The double room was one of the smallest we've stayed in although clean with tv and shower room, nicely decorated in muted brown colours. The Royal itself has an unusual layout with a bar and restaurant at the front and another bar round the back with a large... More
