The hotel is of historical interest, old, next to the train station and in need of some attention in areas. The decor is looking tired in all areas we saw. In our room the bath sides have come away and need fixing, the pipes emit a squeal that could get very loud. It was quirky to begin with, but got a little annoying after a while. The bathroom floor was very slippering after showering. I was woken at 4am by the sound of the lift and banging doors. Other than that the hotel is fine and comfortable. On checking out the staff member seemed dissinterested and was not interested in whether or not we enjoyed our stay. Check in was fine and other staff members were friendly and engaging.

We had a lovely stay. Very convenient, as it’s cross the road from the train station, also it’s very central. the staff couldn’t do enough for you, they went out of their way to make sure you had a good stay. The bedrooms are a little tired so could do with a little TLC. Would happily stay here again.

Historic building, friendly staff

The staff at The Royal Hotel (Andrea, Tim and Gabriel) were friendly, accommodating and professional. The hotel overall needs updating. The bathroom was modern and fine but the carpets need replacing and our third floor room floor creaked a lot whenever we took a step. No one was above us but I felt bad for whoever was below. It is an old building so it’s not too surprising. The bed was ok but not the greatest mattress we had on the trip. The location is great and I would stay again.

The property is close to city, bus and train stations. It is an old property so there is a lot of road noise even when the windows are closed. The floors are very squeaky and noise from the hallways also makes it into the room. There is no air con so at night when the windows are closed (to stop the road noise) it gets very hot. A fan is supplied. We booked a car park and arrived early evening and there was only one park available and it was very difficult to get into. Glad we had a small car.

The hotel was in a very good location close to every thing, nice and clean, the special dinner was excellent and enjoyable. The room service was excellent as well along the staff. We wish they had air conditioning in the room also, staff at the front desk failed to give us day trip company information and we were truly unhappy about that.
