Being a regular at the Royal for the sunday carvery (which is always second to none), i saw the sign for the horse burgers and thought, brilliant gimic, great sense of humour. So the family and i decided to try one. I can report that the burger was fantastic, lean, tasty with great accompaniments. Id like to reference the previous... More

This hotel has shocked me as we arrived we went into the bar to be served by a very rude lady who turns out to be the bar manager. She kept leaving the bar so we couldn't re order drinks. Then we looked at the bar menu and it seemed very nice until we noticed the bar manager was advertising... More

When you walk into the Royal Hotel the first impressions are quite good, a lovely original sweeping dual staircase where you can imagine the gentry folk making grand entrances in the evening. The reception staff as with all the staff I met, wre very helpful and friendly in an olde world charm type of way. Then... 3,2,1 you are back... More

The hotel was recommended to us by our family who live local to it. My husband and I were in Ashby to attend a funeral. There was plenty of free car parking. When you enter the building the first things that stand out are the grand Regency staircase and chandeliers. The reception staff were very friendly and we had our... More

The hotel is clean and tidy but very dated. I found the staff friendly especially at breakfast. Stayed in Feb and the room was very cold, even the the backup portable electric radiator didn't help much especially when the heating went off about 10ish. Would be a good hotel if it had a makeover. Stayed a few times due to... More

I stayed here with my friend for my birthday. We expected a joyful stay.... But the room was COLD very dated with chills coming through the window... The only thing that was ok was the breakfast in the morning- it's very overpriced! I will not be returning.

Stayed at the Royal for one night as part of a company Christmas evening (we didnt eat here just stayed over). We eat at Wnkies (chinese which was just as dated buy the way) As everyone has stated this is a very old and out of date hotel. In its support it was very clean but the rooms were very... More

To call this hotel Royal really shouldn't be allowed, when you walk into the reception its like walking into a time capsule from the 1970's - old fashioned wall paper and carpets. I was attending a function and we had decided to eat at the bar, well, the menu was terrible and very unappetising to say the least - we... More

The check in was not great, 3 rooms booked by our group but only 2 rooms were showing booked on their system. The receptionist made a fuss but did sort this.... but with no apology! All 3 of our rooms were poor at best... Pubes in the bathroom, windows need replacement/repair, poor heating, no hot water, shower did not work,... More
