The Hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the team on reception helped me with any queries or amendments I needed to make to my booking which I was very grateful for.

We received an email from The royal to say parking in the square was £7 and your parking permit could be purchased from the hotel. This was no problem we parked in the square before purchasing permit as advised in the email and the permit was £8. Whilst I am not concerned about the £1 the email I received was a couple of days before our arrival so up to date. When I queried this at reception they said that’s what it is and not really bothered. My information also received said check in was at 4.00pm at reception they said it was 3.00pm. I know that is a bonus but when you make bookings you want consistency. Hotel tired and needs tlc but for position and price was good. We opted to pay for breakfast the staff were friendly and good but the breakfast very average. Saying all this for the price I would return.
The hotel was very pleasant generally, but unfortunately we were put into a room which seemed to have been forgotten. The radiator did not work and the room could only be heated with a convection heater, the cleaning was inadequate and the kettle contained so many bits of questionable matter that we did not risk using it.
I liked the way the staff were helpful , in reception and dining room , the meals were nice , and the room comfortable , and equipped with all i needed ,, thank you The Royal ,.
