“Lovely hotel”

Royal Highland Hotel

6 Apr 2008

We have just returned from a 3 night break in the Royal Highland Hotel. I honestly cant understand some of the previous reviews we read before booking. The hotel is lovely, yes it is an old building but so what, it adds to the charm. The breakfast is a lovely buffet with all the cereals, pastries, cooked food fruit and yogurts that you could wish for. They serve you tea/coffee and toast to your table. We had the usual tea and coffee in our room as well as 2 bottles of water. There is toiletries in the spotless toilet and plenty of clean towels. The restaurant is very good and not at all pricey. We will certainly go back.

“great location, Great entrance and lobby, but needs work upstairs”

Royal Highland Hotel

6 Apr 2008

this hotel looks very grand from the outside and in the lobby,

the staff are friendly, and helpfull.

but breakfast is a help yourself affair which really did detract from the rest of the experience.

overall this is an OK hotel but as i found out after there are better for cheaper not too far away

my only other issue is that the rooms do look dated, the bathrooms have been updated and would say that everything was clean, but dated.

“Average Hotel”

Royal Highland Hotel

Save Review
2 of 5 stars
Shrewsbury, United Kingdom
26 Mar 2008

This hotel is well situated, right in the town centre.

The reception was not great and the room fairly poor for this kind of hotel. Not very clean, old and a bit dirty.

Average breakfast also.

Not great experience

Ontario, California

This hotel has to go on your list of places to stay when in Scotland!!...A very beautiful staircase greets you as you enter the door....The staff takes great care of your every wish..You can have a casual cup of tea while sitting in the beautiful lobby in comfy arm chairs, or enjoy a meal, in their restaurant--breakfast is spectacular in their large dining room..Great location, and great rooms. The central location makes it fun to browse the lovely town..We will definitely return to this fabulous hotel, on our next trip!!

“Very Nice hotel”

Royal Highland Hotel

11 Mar 2008

We had a very nice stay at Royal Highland, unlike others who commented previously.. If I would have considered those comments stayed else where,, would have missed such character hotel in city centre...
lovely hotel, nice room and very nice bathroom, good food and service and above all the great breakfast buffet with such excellent choice...
overall a very good experience
