From arriving to leaving, the royal hotel was outstanding.
Staff were professional, and nothing was a problem for them.
The restaurant food is fantastic ( but you may need to reserve a table as it gets pretty busy )

Clean, spacious room. Staff were friendly & helpful. Great food.
Nice big room, super comfy bed, great shower. Food was really good, staff were all great. My only gripe was the lack of WiFi in my room but hot-spot through my phone solved that. On the whole, a very nice stay and I'll be happy to stay again.
Lovely hotel, bed was super comfy, room was nice and clean. Bar area and restaurant have been done up really nice. Only negative is the water went cold pretty quickly in shower
Faultless hotel with excellent staff and a decent breakfast...Spacious clean and well worth the stay...

Nice little hotel
The young lady who was doing everything was absolutely amazing. She checked me on the evening and served me breakfast the next morning. She was absolutely what every hotel wants.
Friendly and helpful service.
Great food both for dinner and breakfast.
Rooms are clean, I had a family room although there was only me, room and bathroom was spacious with a separate closet.
Would definitely stay again.
Hotel was lovely and so were the staff. Breakfast was nicer than some of the hotels I’ve stayed in.
My one complaint is that lack of sound proofing, when someone walked past my room it sounded like a heard of elephants and anyone talking while walking past it sounded like they were purposely shouting (they may have been but I shouldn’t think they were)
