We saw this hotel and was really looking forward to our stay. Sadly when we arrived it really wasn't what we were expecting. The reception area very nice and staff very friendly, however as we made our way down a really long corridor every step we took the floor really, really creaked. I thought this may be a problem for... more

Stayed in one of the honeymoon 4 poster suites.This was booked months ago and was all that was available as this Hotel is booked up well in advance. It was difficult to open the door, but this was good as the room has a new, very thick carpet. We have stayed here before and a good sign was seeing staff... more

Found this hotel online. Looked fantastic etc. What an absolute disappointment when we arrived. Nothing like the pics shown via website. Exterior building dated&non welcoming. Interior, pretty much the same. Dark, old fashioned&cheap! Felt very conned, after a rather long drive from Perthshire. Rm 8, classed as a Honeymoon suite, was really awful. I'd hate to think of ANY newly-weds,... more

We were very disappointed by this hotel which while it was clean and very modern was not worth the cost (GBP115). Our room reeked of a strong perfume which gave me a terrible headache and sick feeling. Finally in the middle of the night I turned on the lights to try to discover the source of the smell and found... more

Great location overlooking Loch Broom, on the edge of the village. The room was vast and nicely furnished. Great shower too. Food was good, dinner simple but tasty enough. Would say that you could do better for value for money. more

The Royal Hotel lies off the main road from Ullapool to Garve just a minute’s walk into the town. Quite a large establishment , plenty of parking, though as we stayed in January it was naturally very quiet. Possible tour/conference venue in high/mid seasons. We had booked a standard rear-facing room for two nights but were up-graded to a huge... more

We have just returned from a fabulous weekend stay at the Royal. The weather was AWFUL but the hotel staff were so welcoming. We ate in the bar on the first night. The food was fantastic. There has obviously been lots of updating done to the hotel. The bathroom and bedroom were lovely and spacious with a fabulous view. All... more

A pleasant hotel in a good location. The welcome was good, the room spacious and clean with a good-sized bathroom and an excellent shower. The view from the balcony was wonderful. Money has evidently been spent on the property, except it would seem in the bar which appears to be in a 70s time warp. However, with good food and... more

We thank you for the positive review. It is nice to know that guests appreciate the effort and expenditure that has gone in to refurbishing the hotel over the last three years. We agree with your comment about the bar which is scheduled for udating in our next phase of work. Management and staff are committed to constant improvement.
